The Monday
class for seniors is exceptional.
Variety of classes. Pool. Yoga options and levels
The staff is friendly
Amazing instructors and life guards
Parking. And I usually go to the downtown Y. It’s more convenient for me.
It is a really nice place to go for a workout because every thing is clean.
All the different classes offered
Great climbing wall experience with 8 year old grandchild.
I appreciate the caring of all trainners that I met in Pilates, Gentle Yoga, Boddy Pump, they care genuily for their students. I love to pass time with my family and working out as a family is bringing us together. My son is taking swiming classes, chess and will take a basketball clinic from July 20th to 24th.
Parking is terrible. Need more day time swim lessons available, the 5am wake up to try to get into swim lessons doesn’t work for everyone.
The rock wall and open climb times area great! The kid zone is good, and I’m excited to see the new climbing structure. All the kids programs are great.
There are a lot of amazing activities!
The friendly enviroment.
So far I really have enjoyed my membership. I do find the schedule a bit limiting in things im interested in, and i find it hard to discern whether classes offered are something i would enjoy or whether it would be too difficult or too easy for my skill level. I also have not had as much of an opportunity to explore all available options yet. However, the staff have been very welcoming, the facilities are very clean and well kept, and there are a lot of options available.
Great locker rooms. Clean pool. Excellent weight room. So much to take advantage of and be healthy
Inviting place
Everyone is very friendly and helpful
Shower/restrooms and locker room area are not up to heathy and clean standards. I wonder if the Thurston County Health Department makes inspections of the Shower area.
Weight machines need a little TLC.
How can there be talk of a new enlarged and modern Lacey YMCA when the current Briggs YMCA needs a remodel and updated facilities.
Last but not least least, does the Briggs management inspect the facility before opening for the paying members.
Who supervisor the custodial staff?
I have visited the YMCA buildings in Maui, Missoula and Gig Harbor. As a original life
long member of the Briggs YMCA, I am disappointed.
There's a variety of exercise for everyone. I enjoy the classes offered
The women's showers are dismal. They stink, they're mildewy , and the water turns off after 8 seconds, so we have to keep pushing the button over and over. Not to mention the water pressure. Why wasn't the plumbing fixed before the lockers? I'd rather have old lockers and old counter tops and new showers.
Bigger cardio room gets to crowded for member price sometimes equipment not available, it also takes time for front desk to scan badge cause they are busy and a lot of people are on tight schedules and want every minute they have to get the workout in. Most modern places have a scanner or phone scan, also some of the tvs don’t have all channels or the tv is fuzzy should not be a problem with connections or reception if offering tv which is very popular at any health club and a definite incentive.
I recommend the Y all the time!
The wide variety of classes, especially ones in the water, for retirees had me join and I did recommend to friends and they just joined last week.
Good teachers, great variety of activities for people of all ages, good hours, nice staff.
The staff are wonderful, the facilities are clean, and the hours are convenient.
I enjoy both Briggs and Plum Y as a regular part of my life. I love both water aerobics with Cindy, and, most especially, Aqua zumba.
