I would recommend the Briggs Community YMCA to anyone who wants a welcoming and comfortable space to practice movement and exercise. It's a beautiful facility and I always look forward to my visits.

Spacious and welcoming. Clean. Parking is sometimes a challenge.

You leave feeling better than you did coming in. Passing a smile along to others makes a world of difference.

The children swim class schedules and offerings seem to get jerked around and changed with poor communication coupled with changes that feel like solutions that go look for problems. As a family with multiple children we work hard to align schedules and need options to do that. Current direction in swim program makes it literally impossible.

I'm likely to recommend this to a family member or friend because people are so nice, & they have a lot of different activities for people to do, & the locker rooms are so big that there's a lot of space for people to change.

The swim suit spinner in the women's locker room breaks every month. How about having three spinners so that one would always be avaialble.

I usually go to Plum because it's closer to my house but come to Brigg's for different hours and the pool. And the occasional unique class.

I usually go to Plum Street but I was running late so I went to Briggs. Several weight machines had teen boys just sitting on their phones, doing LONG rests between sets so I could not get to some machines without just standing around for a long time. It was uncomfortable and makes me not want to return. I will go to Plum.

I asked for months and months if not years for the concept 2 to be fixed. I used the Y as my main spot for winter training. All the membership fees that we spend and a single rowing machine couldn't be fixed in a timely manner. This is why we switched to The Valley. So many NEW and NICE rowing machines in pristine order.

Great scheduling, clean space, kind, cordial help

I enjoy being greeted in a very warm and inviting way. The staff is always willing to answer my questions and help me to feel comfortable in a very accepting atmosphere. Being older, I have difficulty hearing/understanding the instructor calling out her instructions during the exercise class; thinking an intercom system would be helpful.

I'm mostly coming for the yoga classes. I would like more time options for yoga, particularly on weekends and after 6 pm on weekdays. I can't make daytime classes for yoga on weekdays due to working from 9-5 m-f. I meant to add this to the plum street survey but the attendance for the classes I've gone to has been fairly low there, which makes the classes just a tad bit more awkward to attend.

The main pool temperature is too cool and I am looking for other options to go for water exercise. And lately the room housing the main pool is too cold as well, women’s showers are gross with cracked tiles and black old. Often not cleaned of gobs of hair.

It's great but I really don't want the pool more crowded.

Briggs and Plum are both great.

Good value for the money. Lots of options for classes and equipment with two locations in Olympia Friendly and helpful staff.

Friendly greetings as you enter. Everyone is polite. Clean facility with many options to choose from.

This is kind of a bogus question. There's only one YMCA in Olympia

Rec swim hours are too few. Please open lane in the activity pool during swim lessons.

Excellent choice of exercise options for all ages and abilities with compassionate leaders.

Your dance fitness classes. Please keep Morgan on Saturday mornings. Add more MixxedFit. What about dance fitness on Sunday?

Good facilities, friendly enough people.

The welcoming front staff, good facilities and the overall authentic expression of the gospel of Christ.

Consistency on check-in procedures for front desk and brining
