I love the Monday, wed, fri water aerobics, Carla is the best!!!
I enjoy tai chi and yoga classes at Briggs.
Great value and lots of class options.
Lockerrooms are trash
Classes are great. Short, and somewhat unstructured so far since the kids are so young. I'm looking forward to the older ages when she gets to practice more skills.
It's just hard to get to after work for those of us who live/work closer to downtown
This Y is a wholesome accepting place. The Staff is great as are the Lifeguards.
Great facility with plenty of machines. Always clean and has very friendly staff
You don’t have any afternoon pickleball other than late noon Monday. Very disappointing
I try to exercise at one of the Olympia YMCA's every week. Our Y's have a great variety of classes, as well as pools, bikes, weight rooms and more!
The multi-purpose floor is often dirty to dance on at NIA. The trivia has become less than it was - it was fun - not so much now.
Two of asked if users on machines could be reminded not to sit endlessly on them using their phones. One sign at the end of the the room was put up- thanks but hardly seen be all.
I am disappointed that the gym is so light it is difficult to see the pickleball as it is coming towards me and it is extremely loud you can hear the banging of the balls in nearly every place in the Y. If they were to use the gym at the Shelton Y as a model it would be quieter and not as bright.
Women's shower tile area still dirty/ looks like it is not regularly cleaned with something that will take dirt and mold away. Embarrassing to take someone there. We all wear shoes so we are not in contact with the unsanitary conditions. I have almost brought my own scrub brush and comet to scrub the floors to show a difference.
Swim instructors are all very caring and patient. Jeff is wonderful with wiggly kids and explaining techniques in terms they get.
Parking is such a pain, especially on Tuesday nights. Please don't have kids sports activities timed with the after work gym schedule. Everyone is coming and going at the same time. It is getting worse not better.
cleanliness in bath room and maintinaince in general
Lack of communication with members and management. Front desk isn't aware of some of policys and changes of schedules. Unexpected changes signs should be much larger to notices..Needs alot of improvement in building up keep.equipments replacement. Need to ask members on any changes that will be making. It affects the members and needs their input, members are using. Pools schedule, closer on scheduled classes, you have member's email.locker room, need one more swimwear spindles. Takes to long to schedule repair also showers hooks, water power in stall not equal with other stalls.
I like Briggs Y FG or all the classes that are offered I don't feel excluded because of my age, I feel welcomed. They have something for everyone
Great offerings, friendly staff and lots of diversity!
Clean up the mold in the shower area and tiles leading into the pool area. Put some hanging shower racks inside the shower racks to hold shampoos, etc. The tiny soap dishes aren't big enough.
I have signed my son up for Tee Ball the last 2 months. The class description says that there will be practice hitting, baserunning. and fielding/catching. The instructor has only had the kids hit off the tee and doesn’t seem enthusiastic to be teaching the class. She is having other kids standing too close to the tee and getting hit with balls and bats due to not paying attention. I understand that this is not an organized team sport at the YMCA, but this just feels like recess for the kids. I wont be signing up for these types of programs again
It's just such an average experience. Neither very good or very bad.
Friendly staff, met some great people and made friends!
The reason for the 8 mark and not a 10 is the inconsistency of the pool temperature. It is extremely uncomfortable to have to go into a cold pool when it’s supposed to be “heated”.
This is a wonderful venue for making friends while working out.
My instructors are awesome
