We enjoy the programs like Enhanced Fitness and various senior classes. Having a group of people to play pickleball on a regular basis is also great. Great community. The new pool and weights area are great. Having so many options is well worth the price of membership.
The thing I like most about the Pearl Street Y is that most of the staff is very friendly. We've visited the other Y's in the area and this one has the most consistent staff by far. Also, I like the new building with the pool and weight room equipment. I wish the bathrooms in the old building would reopen, because it's more convenient when you're working out on the track or the machines upstairs to just go there rather than going back down. I like that you're trying to update the facilities.
Most of the staff at this location are so helpful and inclusive. That means a lot. Not all of the YMCA locations are like that. Horrible experience with the YMCA Woodinville location. I said I would never go to another YMCA but Pearl Street changed my mind.
The new pool area has been absolutely wonderful for our family. Strange that this survey was begun with the phrase, "we haven't seen you in a while" since our family was there yesterday and every week before that.
Very nice facility. We normally use the UWT Y but it was closed so tried the Pearl Street Y. Large and spacious weight room (which we used) and complete swimming/water recreation area (didn't use). The only drawback (and it maybe temporary due to the construction) is the large distance (between buildings) we had to travel between the weight and cardio areas. At the UWT Y, these are adjacent if not integrated which is very convenient. On whole though, a very nice facility and will be happily using it when we need to. Thanks, Tom Hubbell.
I returned to the Y during the pandemic. It was a game changer. I got the exercise I was focused on and something else unexpected happened. I made friends and forged a community with people who enriched my life. I am still going daily, I am a swimmer.
The new facility is FABOULOUS, the people are what keep me coming back everyday. It is the staff and the members who make the Pearl Street Y the best place to be in Tacoma.
it is getting better. The new space is wonderful for weights and pool. men's locker room is too small but I know you are waiting for phase two. also glad to see the car chargers are now operational. that is great to be able to charge car while working out.
The facilities, especially the new Aqua Center and Strength and Conditioning facility is amazing! When I swim laps, I observe the lifeguards and am impressed by their focus and professionalism. The staff are friendly and go out of their way to welcome and assist you whenever you need help. It is an inclusive place where everyone is treated with dignity and respect. Finally, the classes and workshops offered are varied and appealing.
I love the upgraded building. It all feels much more welcoming and inclusive. I feel safer as a nonbinary parent bringing my nonbinary child to the facility and using the restroom and pool. Excellent work!
Our family is really loving the new pool! It's been really great to have space that allows the kids to swim for fun after their lessons. We've seen so much improvement from them since the beginning of the year!
The family locker room is also great! No more lines of shivering kids waiting for a cramped changing stall.
