Located at 1710 Market St, Tacoma, WA, the University YMCA Student Center is a modern fitness facility aimed at students and the local community. Equipped with state-of-the-art machines, a rock climbing wall, and multiple floors of exercise space, it offers a diverse range of activities including weightlifting, cardio, and basketball.

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).

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.

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.
