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.

Front desk staff is very friendly and helpful. Facilities can get quite crowded during peak hours (weekday evenings). Sometimes not enough space for individual weight training with free weights. Locker rooms are just ok.

Bright, shiny and new. This is a great gym for lifting, especially in the off hours. During peak hours it can get pretty busy but there is enough to do to stay active.

Bodybuilder, Lifting 7+ years, 5-6 times a week. Place and equipment is brand new with a friendly staff.My number 1 complaint is that there is no Smith machine! It's a basic piece of gym equipment but for some reason it is MIA here.There is no real variation of machines..such as no wide grip bench or decline bench, no hammer strength machines for shoulders, etc.Dumbells stop at 120.A LOT of douchey "power lifters" who weigh under 150 with suits on who yell while sumo lifting 135 pounds. Distracting and on busy days they clutter and hog all the barbells and racks.No pool or sauna which is surprising for a remodeled place.I understand this is a family YMCA and not a Golds gym or something so that's why I ended up giving it a 4. I love coming here and it is a really nice gym to go to but definitely not the best.

The equipment is brand new and the staff is super friendly. What more could you want from a fitness center? They have a rock wall, several classrooms (for things like dance and yoga) and I believe they have basketball courts as well. I go here for the weights and cardio equipment. They have plenty of cables, free weights, and machines for weight training. Lots of cardio equipment as well.

I may come back and re-review this in a few weeks when the Tacoma central ymca is reopened. Currently, this location is over crowded. Both with equipment and people. They tried to cram everything on one floor so the basketball courts remain open for "games."I love that the crew take the time to make members feel welcome, and take pride in the location. It always feels clean, just kinda cluttered. But I am a do more with what you got kind of guy. I don't need a million machines.

Facility is fine.... Staff is another story. I lost my wallet and I left there only 30 minutes prior. I called to see if they found it or someone turned it in. I was in hold then a girl came back to say they didn't find it and then proceeded to tell me to "call back in a couple hours" to see if someone turned it in. I literally hopped into my car and within 15 minutes, I had my wallet. So instead of looking to see and saying someone turned it in, just tell someone to wait.. not cool
