Even though I'm a full member, it is hard to register for classes and programs before they are full. Swim classes full before I get a review from the instructor doesn't help. Registration for children's sports teams as soon as they open and they are not placed on a team.

Friendly, inclusive

Great staff

The staff are lovely, the facilities are clean, I've been able to be more active than I have been in years.

Always friendly staff and clean facility. Enjoyable being there!

I teach a water exercise class. Lifeguards frequently are so slow to move lanes we start late. They also do nothing about others getting into pool while the class is ongoing and are distractive to the class.

The childcare hours are limited on the weekends, when I need care the most (honestly, I wish the facility was open later on weekends too). I'd also like to see more diverse cardio equipment. For example, an assualt bike would be ideal.

Check in is slow, cable reception and channels sub par fuzzy most of the time not enough equipment and room for price of membership

Y staffs very kindly and helpful 🤩🤩🤩

Always clean and greeted with I smile. The pickleball crowd is friendly.

My kids love going to the activity pool but the three or four times we've gone( We recently joined this summer) the pool was soo cold. I have no desire to go back. I'm not sure if keeping the pool that cool was just a summer thing or the norm. I'm waiting to see before I cancel my membership.

I like that the people are kind. There are a lot of people like me there. There are a lot of options for me.

Machines (those without options) are broken or inoperable for too long. Currently it's the shoulder/back machine.

I feel the Y is a quality resource for me during many phases of my life. I look forward to introducing my children to the Y as a resource and I look forward to utilizing the Y during advanced age.

I am back after a break from the Y. It seems more senior friendly that when I was involved before. Parking has improved and I have a great instructor for Tai ji quan in Judi.

Nothing. But some people might not like the relaxed atmosphere

More class types on the weekends or in the evenings. Love body balance, body attack and barre but the current schedule is hard for full time working people.

I like that people are friendly, non-judgmental, encouraging, and inclusive. I like that there are programs that fit my needs.

The women's locker room showers are abysmal. Why spend $ on other upgrades but not this? I'd rather the locker room close for a month than have these. The temp /time/pressure is all inconsistent. Grout is disgusting. The low lockers are hard to get into, and I have to twist to see where I'm putting my lock. Not good for someone with back problems. New showers are needed more than new sinks/counters/shelving/lockers /check in counter.

I appreciate the staff and variety of classes. I would like the Y to offer more swimming classes for adults and seniors. The class tends to get full very quickly.

Well I’ve never had an orientation tour where I can have help getting familiar with the equipment. The screens are very different from any I have used in the past. I even emailed asking for this since it was not offered (when I joined they said someone would contact me to schedule but nobody did). Nobody has replied to my email and it has been a week or so since I emailed.
So I’m very glad for the pool and hot tub but the service is only a person there to scan your card on arrival, haven’t seen anything else.
One day I forgot my towel and they claimed they had no lost and found where I might be able to borrow a towel from. I’ve belonged to many other Y’s and they always have a lost and found, mostly of stuff that’s been lost a long time.
Frankly, too, the cardio equipment is rather low budget. The two stationary bikes are far lower quality and uncomfortable than I e found at other Y’s or other gyms, at even much smaller gyms.

The staff is friendly and helpful. The weight equipment is kept in good condition. The place is clean and feels safe. I have not tried classes or anything beyond the weight room and the cardio room.

I was happy with the help I received during my visit at the front desk. The 2 staff members who helped me were understanding and helpful and acknowledged my difficulties and guided me in the right direction.

Good location and available workout options

I love the classes and the staff is incredible!

Very nice Y always clean and welcoming, great selection of cardio and weight training equipment. My wife loves the pool for lap swimming.

It’s great facility and a variety of classes, great instructors and friendly front desk staff!

Your youth staff seems inexperienced but after some discussion and asking around I found that they're undertrained and underpaid. That makes me feel like supporting the YMCA is like supporting Walmart based on how you treat your staff. We pay you almost $100 a month, do the right thing and take better care of your staff! Your membership is over priced.

Very nice, clean and well maintained facility. Has a variety of classes and activities for all ages and physical abilities.

I really like the classes ( Tai Chi) , the cardio room, the weight room, and the pool.

I’ve always been really impressed with the kids zone staff…they have been very attentive and caring to my toddler daughter.

The yoga teacher on Friday morning is like a boot camp instructor. Bring back a nice mellow woman teacher like Alyssa used to be.

The YMCA has always been there for our community and kids. It is a great place to have community and support through classes, get togethers and relationships

Learn about the ADA requirements for various pieces of equipment and structures in the Y, especially the locker rooms, and take steps to bring things into compliance.

I like that everyone greets you when you come in. I have made many friends at the Y. I absolutely love our Chair Yoga teacher!

We love South Sound YMCA! We have a large family - teens, middle schoolers, and a toddler - there is something to do for everyone! We visit nearly everyday of the week. The Briggs location is always very clean, everyone is very respectful and kind, and we have had a wonderful time in the expirence classes and sports/lessons.

I hear the kid zone is going away- not the way to build family and community.

Good facilities, staff, and peers.

I wish I had been warned about the slippery floors in the locker room and the importance of wearing non-slip sandals on the way to the pool. (I didn't fall but it was nerve-wracking)

Good classes

In the work-out room the paper towel dispensers often do not work and many people sit on the machines and talk on their cell phones. I would like to see the gym less bright so people can see the ball coming at them when playing pickleball more lie the y in Shelton.

I attend Yoga and the Barre classes at the Y. Staff are great and we've had a diverse group of very good yoga instructors. The floor in the downstairs multipurpose room often has lint, dirt and hair on it.

If there were more machines that better fit female bodies. And more glute machines would be really nice. I think also seeing more of the rules are consistently followed by all members. As well as more kids zone hours with the closing of the plum street kids zone. Also better family changing rooms I don’t want to face the pool with only a curtain blocking me or my child being undressed.

The facilities are maintained well with a few minor problems with equipment, but that’s to be expected considering how much use everything gets. It would be nice to have a buckling down on some of the rules, including a more strict dress code. The only reason I didn’t give it a 10 is that some of the minor problems have been consistent and ongoing. I do recognize that equipment is not cheap, but if the equipment got dialed in more regularly or maintained to a higher degree, the facilities would essentially be perfect at least for my purposes.

Professional caring instructors. Variety of classes for adults of all ages. Teen room. Day care. Shower room. Love the kiddie pool to help teach my grandkids to swim and have together time. Hot tub.

The Y has always been a great place

I do like the feeling of belonging. I appreciate the facility and the staff!

Pricey, class cancellations without notice, parking issues. Unable to submit review

Replace missing equipment (e.g., 40kg and 25 lb, kettle balls - missing for YEARs). Emphatically urge users to REPLACE equipment back to where it belongs - that probably won't work so perhaps a staff member could put things in order. Perhaps replace signage urging members to put stuff where they got it and post signs as to where equipment should be stowed. Replace battery in analogue clock back by squat racks (it's been losing time for a week and is now over 1/2 hour slow).

These are actions Y staff will have to do because members cannot or will not do them. These are observations made over 40+ years of Oly Y membership.
