Great facility.
Love the chair yoga classes.

Employees are friendly. Other members are upbeat.
Good atmosphere. Welcoming.
Love the water aerobics program and the instructors- folks at the front desk are friendly. I love the senior citizen programs Mallory has put together. What a tremendous opportunity for me to make connections with other folks! Beth McCormick
Pool, hot tub, locker rooms, cleanliness of facility and equipment, variety and quantity of equipment, variety of users, friendliness of staff.
I DON'T LIKE THE LACK OF RULES OR ENFORCEMENT OF THOSE RULES. Specifically the abuse of equipment by dropping and slamming weight down, free weights and machines, runners in the walking lane!
The facility is always clean and the staff is friendly and helpful all the time I’ve been coming here for about a year and a half now I really enjoy the facility. The only thing I would suggest is getting more weights for the pool use as during the water aerobics classes have gotten so much larger not everybody has access to a pair. Also a sidenote Diane and the other instructor I don’t know her name. The blonde woman are amazing at giving classes and keeping everything upbeat.
Flexibility, availability, and friendliness.
The staff is very helpful and courteous, the facility is very clean and organized.
The water classes in the instructional pool have been expanded 2 5 days a week, taught by energetic qualified people. We now r able 2 more easily get the exercise we need. Ty.
Everyone in my family loves the Mel Korum Y and the activities they are part of. Thank you :)
Everything!! Community, pool, classes, love that a credit card is not required for membership.
My wife and I go to the Puyallup, WA Mel Korum YMCA facility nearly everyday because:
1) The facility and programs are good; It has almost all facilities for our needs
2) The employees are capable and friendly
3) It is not far from our home
I have been going Korum Y for years YOU have GREAT PEOPLE who work there and lot's of good people who work out there.
Variety of classes. Accessible equipment, especially if one goes during less busy times, wonderful staff.
PLEASE NOTE THIS FEEDBACK. Our sense of hearing is valuable to overall health. Many class instructors play the music at decibel levels dangerous to the ears. They won’t turn it down or if they do, they slowly increase the volume back up. If they can’t hear ( or feel) the music, their hearing is already damaged. Why should I let them try to destroy my hearing as well? I shouldn’t have to where eat plugs just to salsa.
Clean and not crowded . Most staff is friendly and helpful, with exception of one lady at the front desk. My first day there she was NO help at all.
Friendly staff at the Front Desk to check in: especially Matt and Scot. They even remember our names! Wonderful Silver Sneakers Fitness Instructors like: Janell, Melissa and Kelly! Their energy and enthusiasm are contagious! Friendly members in my classes. I will try Tai Chi again soon and I hear Tom is a very nice and patient instructor.
I love the large posters surrounding the Gym dedicated to Christian principles like Caring, Compassion and Responsibility. I like the orderliness of the upstairs walking track- very clean facilities.
Great staff, great facilities, plenty of machines..
I enjoy the people who workout there and the staff is so helpful.
Really enjoy the senior fitness classes
Friendly staff. Clean facility. Plenty of classes/ courses/ events
Mel Korum YMCA is an excellent facility, full staffed with professional,
courteous people, always clean and in good repair, with enough exercise
machines and areas to exercise. The pools are always clean, there are
times when retirees and seniors can have the rec pool to themselves and
it is warm enough for older bodies to be comfortable.
Facility is attractive and well lighted, excellent changing rooms, restroom
facilties and so on.
I like everything thing they offer and the times and great.
Good instructors, they teach Good life skills, a great place to find friends.
Besides my family and my Home Depot family you are yet another family. All the employees are so welcoming and make themselves available all the time.
I love getting here and watching the kids playing outside. It’s such a breath of fresh air!
The building is always clean and well taken care of and best of all you always help me get my things out of the locker that I’ve locked myself out of 🤣
Classes
My wife and I have been regularly to the Mel Korum YMCA since 2009. Yoga classes; Spin classes; walking track, workout equipment and meeting lots of our friends there.

Mel Korum YMCA is a wonderful facility with a kind and helpful staff.
It has a beautiful inside track (6 laps= a mile) surrounded by windows to the outside!
A wonderful way to get your run when it rains. It also has an indoor pool for laps and a children's pool. (As well as a hot tub, if you need to relax your muscles after that work out)
They also offer exercise classes some with fees (and well worth it) and there is always staff at the desk to help answer questions or assist as needed.
I highly recommend Mel Korum YMCA
