Running track, basketball court and wide range of new, modern workout equipment. Except for a decline bench press… Great customer service, spotless facility, and decent street parking.

I love the environment inside and outside this university. one of the places I had chosen seemed to be good, there were three single sofas. But unfortunately, I couldn't focus on my lesson, because the restroom was exactly the furnished, and it would come and open and close at any moment. I don't know why, although there are numerous restrooms in the buildings, most people used it and even the girls there had a talk and laughter. There was a lot of commuting places and the loud laughter of the girls as if they were on the street and didn't observe at all

I love how spacious this gym is. Big beautiful windows allow lots of natural light. It is very well maintained and very clean. It has all the equipment I need, and even a hip thrust machine. The only reason I'm giving it 4 stars besides the fact that is closes very early on weekends, is the obnoxious alarm that goes off 60 min before closing, 30 min before closing, 15 min before closing, 5 min before closing, and when closing, which is over kill. The alarms are so loud it can be heard from outside the building, and it literally pierces your brain. I understand that it is meant to be heard over headphones / earbuds that ppl may be wearing, but It is still way too loud. It is disorientating, and leaves you with a headache. I feel the volume could be turned down and also not go off quite as frequently. Everyone with a membership should already know when the gym closes I don't need to be reminded 5 times within the hour. It is very annoying and irritating when you want to work out during that final hour.

Took my 10 year old twin boys here for the day. They enjoyed the fact that there is a game room with; table tennis and air hockey and also the usual YMCA amenities which include a track basketball etc. I enjoyed being able to play the various games with them but also was able to sit back in a quiet spot and watch them have fun!

I was a member but canceled not because of price or customer service ….but because of other people using the facility.
I’m not sure if the basketball players using the gym are members or not …..since I’m not familiar with the arrangements the league has with the gym.
However, a couple players went OUT OF THEIR WAY to let me know I wasn’t welcome (to say it politely).
I don’t know why they targeted me when I mind my own business and quietly use the equipment ….but it was a frustrating and a disappointing encounter because I have nothing to do with COVID, parking or any other issue they want to blame me with.
I’ve had nothing but positive encounters with the staff and don’t hold the organization or the employees responsible whatsoever but… this is an experience that affected my use of the facility and worth sharing in case others experienced something similar.

Keep in mind this review reflects all of ymcapkc, not just this location.
It is no longer affordable to gym here. I even try referring friends but they always end up choosing the competitors. There is no discount or real benefits with referring people here. As much I want to renew a membership here, its clear they're not competitive enough to make the right changes in price, operating hours and membership benefits. Guest pass is $20 a day for adults. That's ridiculous.
They have closed their gym hours early since the pandemic while all their competitors are running under normal operating hours. They claim its due to being short staffed but 24 hour fitness has far less employees/members, cheaper memberships and some with no joining fee. Most of the employees at the Y are making minimum wage too so it really doesn't make sense why everything is more expensive here and still rising.
Lastly, their basketball league has increased in price significantly (per 24/8 league merger).

This is the nicest YMCA facility in Pierce County - partially because it is the newest. It houses the UW Tacoma's student center and there are ping pong tables, air hockey and seating on the second floor for them in addition to an office on the first. Basketball is the top attraction at this branch.
The building is very light inside with enormous windows...most Pierce county Ys are kind of dark. UWT Y has nice locker rooms, the latest equipment and a climbing wall.
Downsides:
It does not have a pool.
There are few dance/floor classes.
Parking can be tough.
Super friendly staff is better than most Y's in the county. I recently had an issue with my credit card - they were so rude to me at Tom Taylor. I knew I would come to the UWT Y and they would help me straighten it out....and they did. Thank You.

My nephew loves it here, he plays basketball and works out too....some of his teammates are members and they all meet up and shoot hoops together. Great place for teenagers to go and practice sports or just to hang out with friends.

If you want to swim laps, go to the Y a couple of blocks over. It's a really good facility as well. Time to Sweat!!

A surprisingly modern building compared to the rest of the old time feel of the rest of the UWT campus, but very welcomed. All the equipment and machines were nice and organized, welcoming staff that are there if you need any assistance, and just so much to do even if you don't feel like working out. Great environment. Would be here more often if school and work didn't already take up 99% of my life.

I visit here regularly. My go-to Y unless I need a pool or other family Y amenities. UW students get priority here, but it's nice for the neighborhood too. Everything's well maintained, clean, and nicely suited for the crowd. Lots of unique things here you'll appreciate over time. Don't rely on staff to inform you about much, including where things are, though a few instructors here can tell you everything there is to know and answer questions you should have asked. Love this place!
