Great addition, was just hoping for some racquetball courts and a better parking situation. Other than that this is a great gym

Beautiful Y building in downtown Tacoma, I have taken classes there and the staff have been Very nice and accomadating. There are plenty of things to do from basketball to a ladder you can physically climb. There is a big weight room downstairs and members are kind enough to help if you need any. There is also a yoga room and a soundproof praying room which is pretty cool as well. In conclusion I love going to the Y at the Univercity student center because I feel safe and it accomadate my needs as a athlete.

This is the Y at the Tacoma U of W. Sparkling clean and full of the World's Future Leaders. (You can rest easy knowing these over - achievers will replace the losers currently running the world!) 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!!

Love that the TRX straps are always set up. I usually stick with those and kettlebells so that's great for me. Only thing I have, and this is a very tiny thing that I'm probably weird for, wish the showers could get colder. I like cold showers after a good workout.

Clean. Professional. Different from most Y's cause it's about college age students and older. Great pickup basketball there. World champ Emmit Linton Jr teaches boxing to kids and adults. Power lifting equipment. Locker rooms clean. Rock climbing wall.

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.

It's a wonderful gym and the staff are amazing. Parking after 7 am is horrendous, and because it is a Y there are sometimes several people just hanging out on the machines. All in all not bad though if you go early.

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!
