There is a lot of competition for the machines downstairs (for example the lat pulldown machine is always busy-- we need more than one) while meanwhile, most of the ellipticals upstairs remain unused. We also need more than two stair steppers-- one is almost always broken, and there is stiff competition for them. The way space and resources are allocated doesn't seem to match actual needs and popularity of various equipment. The floors are never clean. For the multipurpose rooms, it's important that the floors be cleaned regularly because people are lying down in there doing various exercises for classes-- it's unpleasant to find big chunks of mud and hair all over the floor the minute you sit on your mat.

The equipment is good and the yoga class is good

Folks at the front desk are always wellcoming!

Great, friendly, helpful staff.

The people are friendly, and there are alot of offerings!

The receptionists are very frienndly and helpful.

Equipment rack next to the Matrix multipurpose machine is too crowded. It’s difficult to reach kettle bells without straining or moving other equipment out of the way. Also creates bottlenecks because it gets so crowded in that area.

love the front desk reception folks around 10 a.m. on Wednesday and Monday and rock star instructor Ashley for yoga! parking is terrible.

They have absolutely horrible parking. I would never invite somebody to join and then know that they will not be finding a parking place for the classes that they wanna take. It’s very frustrating and stressful when I get to the Y and find out there’s no place to park and now I have to come up with some cash to pay the parking meters. You really have to do something about this parking. I love The Y, but I would never have my family come to the Y because the parking is so horrible. Please please do something about the parking.

The best thing about the YMCA by far, and an area where the Y really shines is that Kickstart offers an actual orientation to all the weight machines with a personal trainer and a body analysis in the small office where I was able to learn more about the true state of my health than i have ever learned in a doctor's office. Wish the personal trainers were an affordable option for me but I am totally priced out of that. Also, the parking stripes are angled for people to enter from 5th ave, but not people coming from Lacey who turn into the lot on Plum Street. Not only insufficient parking but very hard to turn into from Plum St. Often have to pay a meter and park on the street. Keep up the Kickstart orientations as it ensures people a safe and productive workout when they know precisely how to use the machines, and why. And the electronic body analysis is amazing.

Iisi signed up for a weight-training class at the Plum Stree Y; it was focused on improving bone density, and was intended for seniors. It sounded good to me as I am a 75 year old woman, and I expected that the instructor would be familiar with working with seniors whose mobility could be limited. I am not disabled in any way, but found both the pace of the class and the equipment available to be very uncomfortable. There was a lot of up and down movement, and that was difficult as the mats we were provided were very thin and uncomfortable, not to mention dirty. More importantly, I was disappointed by the manner in which the class instructor provided direction on what specifically we would be working on (toning? building strength? flexibility?) Afterwards, I was quite sore for a couple of days, which ordinarily would not stop me from continuing in a class (I do like a good challenge)j, but I really felt that I could be injured due to the issues noted above. I would like to request a refund if that is possible, as I am on a fixed income and I would like to be able to sign up for additional training, but my limited budget would not make that possible. I would appreciate a response from a staff person to discuss this further, and to ensure that you understand my issues. My name is Joanne McCaughan and my number is 360-480-2596.

I love the facility and especially the therapy chairs but the parking really sucks.

None of the classes are geared towards working people. I miss Sat yoga.

The most welcoming staff greet me every time I walk through the door. They are awesome!

Quit moving equipment around. It is so irritating to find equipment keeps getting moved when you just get used to its location.

Once inside, everything is a 10! The usual morning greeter is a delightful woman. I find the Y and restroom very clean and the atmosphere to be friendly and positive. Chair yoga is great, and both instructor Ashley and classmates are excellent and friendly. We all have a bond. The only negative is parking availability.

I really like that there's a wide variety of people represented amongst those of us who are utilizing the Plum Street Y. It feels like an accepting place for everyone.

I appreciate having a place I know I can go to work out in a positive, comfortable environment

The staff are always freindly, the facility is always clean and it has all the equiopment I need for my workouts.

My husband and I visit the Plum street location 3 times a week. Every time we are met with friendly staff and the equipment is kept up even though it gets a lot of use.

The staff is very welcoming. I don’t go to socialize but I’m inspired by others.

Staff are friendly and helpful. Many classes I would like to take are offered. It is comfortable for my whole family to visit.

Its a great place to be. The parking lot has been a problem sometimes but I think the staff is really trying to keep an eye on it!

Great place for rehabilitation of my knee after surgery.

parking is terrible. if you don't get there early, you have to drive around. parking lot is too small. also, gym could be updated
