I like the classes and the teachers. I HAVE recommended the Y to friends
Very nice, clean and well maintained facility. Has a variety of classes and activities for all ages and physical abilities.
Always friendly
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.
Clean facility, people mostly leave each other alone, great yoga class. The reason it’s a 9 instead of a 10 is that parking is awful between around 5-6:30 on weekdays. I always have to pay to park in the lot next door 😰
I love the neighborhood feel of the Plum St Y. The location is excellent, the staff is super friendly and I love the class options. Small Group Osteopower class has really improved my workout routines.
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
The Shelton Y staff are great, equipment is modern and in very nice condition, everything is clean. I just wish there were more classes, like HIIT, dance, adult swim exercise. But I also understand that it’s a small community so there are logistical/demand challenges!
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.
The parking is always an issue. It’s very frustrating to get to class and then not be able to go because there is no parking or you have to pay to park on the street and sometimes there’s not much of that either. I love going to the Y I go four days a week, but I am very irritated with the parking situation. The classes are great. The people are wonderful, but the parking is awful.
The parking situation is terrible---can't offer a solution.
Welcoming and friendly atmosphere. Aerobics teacher, Ashley, knowledgeable, encouraging, and entertaining. My physical and mental health thrive in the Y environment!
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
the facility is clean and staff are nice.
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.
I appreciate the location and facility. I just wish the equipment could be kept up and repaired in a timely manner.
Women's locker room needs to be larger to accomodate the number of individuals using it throughout the day. The pool often has hair and other debris floating in it. Swimsuit spinner on women's side has been out of service for MONTHS. One of the water aerobics instructors does not appear to have an organized thoughtful routine, causing increased risk of injury.
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.
I love the Tai chi Quan class. I also like the swimming pool. However I would like more times to swim laps than 8AM.
Clean, friendly, great equipment. Just need more classes. Wish the Y participated with other YMCA where your card would work when visiting.
Feels like my “home” gym. Comfortable inviting and friendly faces. Maybe it is smaller size but i do not have same feel at Briggs
The Y has always been a great place
I do like the feeling of belonging. I appreciate the facility and the staff!
The massage chairs.
Pricey, class cancellations without notice, parking issues. Unable to submit review
Great facility, but needs more parking. Everyone was parking in next door because there was no parking (just glad we didn't get tickets!)
Instructors she’s members are wonderful.
Everyone who works there is kind and welcoming. Everyone is welcome there. It is a safe space. The class instructors are helpful and kind. I am learning new things. Shelton Family YMCA gives me so many things to do. Ari Greene is amazing. I love the connection there.
The staff is always friendly, the facilities are clean, and the equipment is well maintained.
Always feel welcomed by staff at front desk. Facility appears clean. I enjoy my chair yoga class. Only detriment is parking....not enough available AND I find it irritating when drivers entering from the south drive north across the front to find parking. It is clearly the wrong way, and is more than likely to result in an accident or harsh words. How 'bout a one way arrow?
You have the best employees. Every one is friendly, helpful, professional, courteous.
Staff are very friendly and helpful
I see Shelton Y as a very welcoming place with many options for all persons.
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.
Wonderful people at the front deskwelcoming you in...good programs....
Would love more Yoga earlier in the day and parking is often a problem -not enouigh.
Convenient, friendly staff, acceps Silver Sneakers.
Inconsistent water temperature. Ok one day not the next. So tired of being cold. And don’t say use the other pool.
Also.. since the personnel change… not getting timely email responses, if any.. not getting notifications like before.
Need some abb machines
Some of your stuff never gets used, clear it out and get some new machines
I tell my friends about senior water volleyball all the time!
It's very accessible, elder friendly, clean & not just geared to the younger weight lifting crowd like other gymns. Would like to see more gentle yoga classes.
