Friendly staff, good selection of classes, recovery center.
the staff is friendly and the facility is clean
I appreciate that the caregivers pick up my child when they are upset. They are also kind and patient.
I like the equipment available and the layout and cleanliness of the facilities.
What's not to love! Fun, fitness, friends!!
I’d probably recommend to others with young children. However, my kids are 8 and 10 and when they go in the mornings there are only very little children and the older kid area with age appropriate activities is closed, so they have nothing enjoyable to do.
I’ve only taken my child to the kids zone a couple of times within those times I had 2 kids be mean to mine on two separate occasions. Although I know this can happen in a multiple kid environment however there was only 2 staff members to about 20+ kids in one room. There wasn’t enough space for all the kids or enough staff to keep an eye on the kids. Neither time did a staff member pay attention to the incidents. The second time a staff member picked up the kid who tried to bite my kid and tried to take the toy from my kid. Staff removed the kid from the situation however mine was crying and there was no attention given. I ended up getting my own kid to comfort. I’ve also noticed the floors being very dirty, a bandaid on the floor without being picked up, inappropriate sized toys in the baby area such as a small ball could have been choked on. I removed it and handed it to staff they seemed unbothered. There’s not really a secure why of containing kids yes there’s baby gates that older kids can open and let babies out. There needs to be age appropriate areas separated and more staff, not inexperienced kids watching kids.
It's hard to park.
Classes are fun! Friendly staff. Great atmosphere. Massage table is a nice finish to a workout
It would be helpful to extend the child area hours to include Sunday and an extra hour in the evenings on weekdays.
Suggestion box: announce 15 minutes prior to closing. When it said kids zone open on the pool schedule it doesn't say that it closes at the same time as the pool. That doesn't allow for getting rinsed and dressed without opening the door to find multiple staff waiting in the hallway with your child. That was embarrassing not only for me but my 13 year old daughter. It's the first time he hasn't wanted to go swimming with the bigger kids because he wanted to stay and play with friends. We didn't know they closed at the same time as we haven't used our membership often. I felt incredibly disappointed. The schedules weren't posted. I had to ask for a copy.
its easy and convienent for our family needs
Often the tube playing area is closed. Or they remove the children and close it while they’re playing. Also, my 6 month old child cries when I’m gone and they call me immediately and have me com get him. I can’t work out.
The front desk staff are welcoming. It feels laid back, but still clean and taken care of - that can be a hard balance to achieve sometimes.
The showers are barely functional, especially for a tall person. The les mills gear is really old.
I’ve been participating in a small group class with Janice Rosen as our trainer, and it’s been an amazing experience. Her humor and enthusiasm keep me motivated, and her depth of knowledge keeps us all safe as we learn how to use the TRX equipment.
Childcare hours were no clearly explained when I signed up. I was not told they have extended lunch times in the middle of the day when I actually intended to bring my two 2yr olds. This is important to tell a mom who spends a lot of time getting them in and out of the car while hoping they dont try and run off in the parking lot just to find its closed and having to get them back inside the car upset they cant go play. I'd rather just go to a park at that point.
Staff are great and I love having so many activities to choose from.
Plum Street staff are friendly and helpful, the facility has everything I need and I always feel comfortable there.
I know my child is safe and having fun while I get get a good work out in
The instructor never taught hip hop or any other form of dance. The music was not hip hop. This was not even a class, student attendance declined over the month. We will be looking for an actual dance studio for our needs.
nice chill gym
Get more weight lifting machines in the weight room. You only have 1 leg press, a leg extension machine, a leg curl machine, a couple of back machines, and 2 multi-station pulley-cable machines that are always being used. That's ok, but that's not really enough for a great workout, especially when it gets crowded in there.
I would like to see a Smith Squat Rack. Women do bar squats too, and those old-school squat racks you currently have in there are not being used, and are difficult for women to operate. You need another Leg Press machine in there. A 45* leg press where the foot plate is up in the air @ 45* would be great. They are usually plate-loaded. You also need a seated cable row, a seated chest press, an incline press, and a seated pec flye machine that doubles as a rear-flye. (Usually referred to as a "Pec-Deck".
You have lots of room in there for more equipment. Right now it looks too empty and not well-equipped.
Thanks for asking.
I love taking my son to the daycare. It is one of the few places in Olympia/Tumwater that has a daycare in the gym. All the workers there are also so kind! There are a few things I would suggest for improvement: I wish the under 2 year old area open more. I also think the tall play ground area should be restricted. My son went up there and was stuck since it is too old for him which could be dangerous. I also think the play area needs more sanitation since my son got sick the first few days going there. Overall though I really appreciate the program!
The equipment is dated so I find myself going to the Briggs location which is out of the way.
