We take two grandkids to lessons. One teacher is great; kids are engaged. The other teacher does lots of one on one, which seems good, until you realize the other kids have to sit idly by on the steps getting cold (big pool) and bored.

Clean facilities; variety of classes; reasonably priced

Alex has been a wonderful, patient, clear coach each time we've had him for swim lessons.

The "new" (couple years old now) machines in the weight room are terrible. Not enough adjustability for different body types (arm lengths, leg lengths, leg girth, etc.). Some machines are unusable for myself and others. The usable ones are often out of order and repair takes weeks and weeks.

It’s is rare to get a notification that lessons have been canceled let alone get the credit for the cancellation. Very frustrating

Very little to no instruction

Excellent for seniors to stay active and increase fitness

Very pleasant environment.

The kids zone is essential to my family's ability to go to the Y. But only the Plum kids zone, the Briggs one is way too loud and too much stimulation for them.

I tire of people doing a routine of three sets and spending more time between each set looking at their phone. I do a three set routine usually before others do one set, spend time on their phone and start on their secont set.

Update the downstairs activity room to make it more inviting. Replace the electric sockets and lighting in that room. Have info about personal trainers on website.

I feel like briggs offers a great value for parents with young children like myself.

Everyone is nice and friendly.

I really like the massage chairs!

The Y has a pool, which is rare in the South Sound.

It’s a great space to work out- lots of different machines/weights. The only thing I would recommend as an improvement is greater staff supervision when there are youth in the weight room.

The staff was super helpful and guided us through the pool rules with ease. The room was setup quickly and they helped us put all the chairs away which I didnt expect.

The kids zone is theoretically a great resource for childcare while parents are at the Y. However, the two times we've used it the center was clearly understaffed and overworked.

From a logistical stance, pick up list was updated in your system and not communicated with the staff which caused confusion.
It's super loud and hot in the classroom. Overstimulating. My little reports doing extra curriculum is "horrible." I've been there many days when the kids just seem over it all. Like it's been a long day already and they have to use their brains more.
My daughter is only 5 and often cries and feels sad because she doesnt understand what's going on and things feel really hard. I think she feels unsure and maybe some things are very over her head.
All of the staff and teachers are nice.
We aren't unhappy. Just not overly enthused.

I LOVE our program director, Ms. Kayla. She is AMAZING with the kids and clearly cares so much.

I have attended the water aerobics class a few times, but it seems to be too large to find a good spot and the locker room is too busy to change comfortably. Maybe more class times are indicated?

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.

It is clean, quiet, and seems like folks from all walks of life and backgrounds have a place there.

Friendly, inclusive

My son had a blast Quinalt is wonderful with kids!! Also great employee always very friendly and knows us when we walk in!
