Member Testimonials
The instructors seem very well trained
Staff are uniformly helpful, friendly, and maintain the facility at an outstanding level.
They were so kind and helpful when we went in the first time. The facilities are amazing and we're looking forward to enjoying the many options/opportunities available! Thank you
As a disabled senior, the use of the pool is so valuable. I appreciate the friendliness of the employees and members.
Excercices for all age groups and friendly staff.
Bright, open, not congested, always clean and friendly staff. Wholesome gym experience
I like that I have many options for working out.

Great facility and staff.
It is clean, personnel are friendly and helpful. I feel safe because there is controlled access.
Pool, river walk
Classes for seniors
I like the wide range of things that I can participate and exercise with/on and the cherry attitude of the staff. In moving from the exercises I was doing at the facility on Bainbridge Island, I found that almost everything I was doing there can be done at the YMCA as well as many more things. It will take a while to branch out as I decided to start doing the same types of things I did there, such as resistance machines and exercise riding machines. I will in the future look for classes that I think may be of interest. In addition, the facility is well maintained.
The access to the swimming pool is very easy to get into and out of, whereas the other Y's in my area requires ladders to exit, which I'm unable to do.
Early morning hours for exercise. Not crowded.
Friendly staff for the most part. Clean- janitorial staff do a great job!
The classes are very good, especially the RIPPED and the ZUMBA classes. The RIPPED instructors, especially Heidi and Genean, are excellent. The Zumba instructor, Angela, is absolutely fabulous - she really puts a lot of work into preparing and leading the class, which is greatly appreciated. And, it's so FUN. Her classes are very well-attended. The Y should do everything it can to keep her, she is so good.
I appreciate it when the women's restrooms are clean. Sometimes they are not and the bathroom, specifically in the 2nd floor, smell of urine. I can imagine what the men's bathroom smells like.
What I don't like is, the communication could improve greatly. For example, improve communication of schedules for gym hours, holidays and shortened hours, class schedules and schedule/instructor changes, programming changes and changes affecting class schedules and locations.
Clean, good assistance when needed, appropriate hours of operation, and a clean and nice hot pool!
We’ve just started but so far we like all the pool. Excited to try some group classes and will also learn some of the weight machines. Also looking forward to the track; we like to walk and with winter coming the track will be nice
The 6 lane lap pool
Good location, easy parking, friendly helpful staff, great equipment (something for everyone), knowledgeable trainers and a great walking track!
Great facility and great employees.
It’s clean and the employees are extremely friendly. I have noticed the saddles in the spin class need to be replaced. Out of approximately 30 bikes 15 seats are ripped or torn and that makes for a very uncomfortable ride. Thank you
Facilities are always clean, people are friendly and professional.
This is a wonderful YMCA and I am very grateful it is part of our community. Clean, great pool area, great gym, rock climbing wall, etc.
Great exercising environment. Relaxing lounge areas and a great senior center on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. Staff has been very courteous and polite. Any questions or concerns and they are very helpful in their responses.
Ability to choose a solo workout diving in with ear buds to a personal experience or a group class making new friends and struggling or succeeding to finish. And of course anything in between with a personal training session going on next to you or a birthday party for a child. Its a wonderful safe community to grow into your future self.
The staff is friendly and knowledgeable, and the non-friendly ones usually don't stick around.
I love the remodel and how clean it is. Your employee Stanley is absolutely phenomenal about keeping it clean with his thoroughness. Keeping the Y clean might seem like nothing but some Y's I've been to (Puyallup) are really dusty in the corners.
The pool is generally open and is great for lap swimming. However, sometimes during swim lesson time there's not enough lap swim lanes.
The weight room is fairly open and inviting. I love all the natural light and windows.
The operating hours are much better than they once were. I especially like that you're open late on Fridays too.
One thing I would like improved is to have more "Cell Phone Use Prohibited" signs posted in the men's locker room. The only sign I see are by the entrance and bathroom stalls, but not in the actual changing areas. I regularly have to dress quickly because somebody is on their phone while I'm trying to change. I have had to tell some people to get off their phone or to go to the changing booths, but I'd definitely prefer staff correct members.
The same goes for parents of young children who insist on using the 15-and-over men's locker room section instead of the boys' or family locker areas.
All in all, I'm pretty happy with my experiences at the Silverdale Y. It's just these couple of things that need fine tuning.
Keep up the great work!
Great facility, classes, experienced, fun instructors. Friendly atmosphere.
I joined primarily to play pickleball. There are numerous gym times at Haselwood YMCA dedicated for pickleball, which I really appreciate, and I've met lots of new friends playing there.
