I would give 5 stars if it stayed open later and the speakers weren't so loud during classes on the basketball court that I can hear it over my headphones. Ruins it for me everytime.

One of the nicer gyms I've been to. It's a 15 and up facility so no kids running around. Very reasonable pricing.

I noticed that they’ve really shut down the ability to play basketball here. Predominantly white people. Probably more wealthy so can have too many of those other “races” here playing in your gym. Totally obvious. Have your classes at a Y with more gym space and don’t shut ya basketball players out cause you don’t like the color of their skin.

Clean gym and great staff! Has everything i would like and allows people to use the gymnasium for other things besides basketball because well...it's a gymnasium. Just like how the tacoma dome houses different sports and activities. This is a diverse gym because it's close to UW Tacoma and I. LOVE. IT. Ithas rooms affiliated with the school which adds a personal touch. Thanks Tacoma YMCA, y'all the real MVP's.

Staff was rude to me when I was leaving. It was closing time. I'm not a member, I was there to take a free shower. It would be more reasonable to allow two hours so a person can undress, shower, dry off and redress in all their outdoor layers. Having a shower time during the day as well as an evening time was better then just one hour in the evening.
