Member Testimonials

Inclusive, mission. Great facilities, friendly staff. Community.

There is a wonderful, friendly atmosphere, a terrific variety of classes and well qualified - and fun - instructors.
Friendly staff, sense of community, and usually not too crowded.
Great staff and very helpful. The attentive lifeguards are a real plus.
Thanks to everyone.
I enjoy the facilities. The pool, sauna and hot tub are great. The space upstairs is full of equipment and perfect for weighted Pilates.
I enjoy the weight rooms downstairs too. I hope it’s appropriate to suggest another machine? Maybe the BodyKore Hip Thrust Machine Plate Loaded FL1844! The smith machine can be used for hip thrusts too. But a hip thrust machine would be easier to use bc it wouldn’t require a bench and a weighted plate to keep the bench in place. It has a strap across the hips which would be less likely to give the users bruises.
Everything
Friendly people and its clean!
Community that has developed with members at TC
The swimming pool is wonderful and the guards polite and attentive.
Friendly staff, lots of equipment that is well maintained. Locker and shower room is large and clean.
I learned how to swim here and not being able to float naturally it was a huge accomplishment. The sfaff has been great and incredibly supportive. I look forward to coming here, seeing familiar faces, and making new friends.

I would definitely recommend the Tacoma Center YMCA to friends and family. The facility is clean and easy to navigate. The staff are always friendly and helpful. Also, shout out to Amanda for her motivating instruction and genuine kindness. I feel like I am part of a real community when I come to this location, and there’s nothing more I could really ask for.
Staff, fellow members, equipment, facilities cleanliness, exercise classes.

Ive been in a lot of gyms and by far this is the best gym I’ve ever joined. A family like atmosphere and its always clean and the staff is very helpful!
Friendly and helpful
My friends -- both members and staff -- are here. It's a great place to play and stay young.
I like that this YMCA isn’t too busy and has most of the machines and equipment that I need.
The staff is amazing and super helpful. The vibe at the YMCA is so much better than the vibe at any other gym. There’s a strong sense of community. Also, I have a caregiver because I’ve had some unfortunate health issues that started to arise in 2018, and the fact that my caregiver gets to work out with me is such a huge gift for both of us.
