Member Testimonials
I love how every employee wants to be there. They always are friendly and helpful. They truly care about the experience of the member coming in.
Clean pool, friendly staff, and great vibes! What more could you ask for?
Been a member since the day that it opened. It is my go to place to exercise because of the staff and the exercise classes provided especially the AM abs class and the Friday morning class taught by Barb McMann.
I do have an issue with the change of the 6;30 am exercise class taught in the big gym on Monday and Wednesday. For years and years it was a fast paced aerobic and strength class taught by Y staff. But now it a slow paced station class that are the same exercises every day just a different order of the routine. Sorry to say but, the life has been taken out of that class.
Name removed, a member since the day the Downtown YMCA opened.
Thanks for reaching out. The truth is that I don’t know how the 5-rating happened. I intended to give a 10 but screwed something up. And then I tried to figure out how to change it, but nothing worked. I have always been very pleased with the Y and I’m happy to have you record me as a 10 on every aspect of the operations at all three of the Ys I’ve used. My apologies for the mixup. If you get a chance give my best to Charlie. Thanks.
Kool place to be.
Hunter's quick and thorough response reflects the core values of the Y. I sense your team's firm commitment to serving the community in a way that uplifts us all.
The young folks have been through a lot as we all have. Kind patience and guidance will go a long way in helping them.
A greeting or a goodbye is a small thing. But small things are impactful, so thank you for taking my criticism seriously. Like you, I want the Y to remain a place of welcome. No worries, it's a 10 for me now! 😄

Main items I use are the pool, weight room and end of day fitness classes. You folks do a wonderful job
Good staff, nice environment
I more often go to Morgan, but the smaller Tacoma center Y has good exercise options.
The steam room is always clean.
The staff is so kind and cool. The facilities are clean. There's so much to do 9classes, equipment, events, amenities.
No kids and classes for seniors.
I have 2/3s of a lung and the pool, sauna and jacuzzi sure help my breathing. Soon, I will try working out some.
Very polite staff. Clean facility. Good equipment. Lots of classes to choose from.
Love the pool! Appreciate this is an adults only facility.
The biggest asset is the friendliness and helpfulness of staff - both instructors and at the front desk. They are wonderful! I also appreciate the daily classes for seniors and variety of equipment available. I also often use the 360 vide os for Boomers by Tina.
I sure wish I could let my grandson's use the rowing machines and treadmills. And it would be wonderful if there were more times on weekdays for youngsters (ages 4 to 9) to have freetime in the gymnastics gym. If they don't swim, there is not much for them to do.
Also, please clean the inside of the door to the women's locker room. It is so grimy feeling.
Great teachers, quiet and clean, friendly staff
The instructors demonstrate expertise plus they seem to enjoy what they are doing. The classes involve people of all backgrounds, ages and experience and all seem to enjoy themselves.
It’s friendly .
Pool lap swim
The sense of community, the friendly front desk staff, and fun classes make the Tacoma Center YMCA a great place to get your workout in and catch up with your gym buddies! Take a group class, go for a swim, or get your weightlifting on — you can do it all at the Tacoma Center Y!
Welcoming staff. Being able to use elliptical with a fan blowing on me. Swimming laps. Thank you!
