Member Testimonials
Many activities to choose from.
For most people this would be a great place to meet and greet people who are striving to achieve or maintain their strength and fitness. Though I myself am limited because of my sensitivities to other peoples fragrances in their personal products; perfumes, deodorants, shampoos etc. I get a terrific migraine!! So I Zoom it.
I play Water volleyball and it is the funnest thing I think I have ever done at the Y ever. The nicest bunch of people I have ever met they are so much fun and I'm so glad they talked me into playing about 4 months ago in the old pool and I have been playing three to four times a week ever since.
Associates are smiling and inviting us in. and swim classes are great.
The teachers and the community of friends!
The Y provides something for everyone!!! The new pool and weightlifting area at Pearl street enhances that experience!! Modernistic and providing room for more people to enjoy the entire gym. Staff are friendly and helpful!!

I love the "Y". :-)
Three times a week I do chair yoga, walk a couple of miles on the inside track and work out on 5 of the resistance training machines in the new building.
The staff is friendly and very helpful with any questions.
The building is clean and very well maintained.
The Pearl street YMCA feels like members are a home away from home. The YMCA offers classes to young children as well as senior citizens and any age between. My wife and I are seniors and after taking classes as well as lots of walking on the track , we have developed close friendships will other YMCA members. As we age many seniors seem more aware and are motivated to develop and keep more healthy lifestyle habits and include exercise as part of that equation. The YMCA and the activity’s that are offered are a very important daily routine for my wife and I. Bob and Patti Young, University Place.
I bring my grandson there to swim in the new pool area and lazy river. It is so much fun. I love all of the different swim options. I love the temperature of the water and the room in general. I love the lockers and how clean and new everything is. I love the splash playground for young kids. This is a wonderful upgrade and I am so lucky to live close by and have easy access.
Go check it out for sure.

Friendly personnel, clean environment, pleasant YMCA members. Great hours, excellent equipment.
I go to the Lakewood YMCA.
I was avoiding going to the Y after work for a while because there was usually a wait for the weight equipment I wanted. This was before the new building opened. I'm so happy with the weight room expansion and I hope leadership will continue to notice what is most in demand and plan accordingly.
