Bremerton Family YMCA — Local services in Bremerton

We have rejoined after years of not going. I loved it before and I love it now. Let's begin with the Front desk employees can I just say how much I appreciate all of you there. One thing I do is ask a lot of questions about everything from the gym to the programs. I say this because I bet they get asked these questions repeatedly, but you wouldn't be able to tell by the way they address you. They act as if you are the first person to ask it. And me they are so polite and if they don't know the answer they'll find a way to get it to you. If you have children they treat them as little adults and actually carry conversations with and ask how their doing. One thing that made me so happy is my daughter has been struggling with medical issues and Dr order hot tub usage and everyone from the front desk to the swim director and all the lifeguards have been absolutely wonderful in helping us figure out the steps I needed to get her able to use it ( she is under the 15 yr old age limit) I love seeing the staff genuinely smiling and interacting with everyone. The best part is the gym allows certain ages to use the equipment depending on age and that's what we needed for our son. He loves to come work out and we love swimming. The kids programs are focused on kids not just for something to do. The gym has equipment some places don't and I love doing Jacob's ladder. There's something for everyone to do together or separate. Gym is nice and clean, no one is trying to show up anyone, and everytime I go there is multiple open spots of the same equipment. The only down fall to be honest is parking, but hey just always get there a little bit earlier than you want and you'll be fine. Thank you everyone for always doing your best so my family and someone like me who has terrible anxiety in public...

I flew in from Virginia for three days and on last night I decided to go to the locale YMCA. I googled the nearest location and found that the Bremerton Family YMCA was the closest. Now let me tell you… I walked in as National YMCA member and walked out after 3 hours feeling like family! I was greeting with an amazing smile from Melanie! Hands down the most gorgeous, genuine and welcoming smile of the trip! I worked out and then when I was leaving Melanie and Mariah were both at the front desk. I stopped and talked with the two of them as they went out doing their jobs and they encouraged me to go play basketball with some of the local youth and young adults. I ended up playing two amazing, fun and friendly games. As I began to leave again I found myself talking with Melanie and Mariah some more and let me tell you all…. The both of them are born leaders…. The interaction that I observed from the two of these ladies with the different members and youth, Vet was very heartwarming. At the end of the shift and after they there finish preparing to close for the evening, Melanie out of the kindness of her heart took no more then 5 mins and showed me how to play chest! These ladies should be commended for their dedication, their leadership, and taking the time to seize the small opportunities that were before them that turned into major blessings for myself. Thank you Mariah and a special thank you to Melanie who has a heart of...

Changed from another local gym and am very pleased with my decision. While I wish there were a few more duplicates of the more popular machines and squat racks, I am happy to be a member. (The morning isn't as busy which is great cause that's my usual time).

The staff have gone above and beyond to make me feel welcome, included, and comfortable and it seems they are like that all the time:) I love watching the kids, especially the teens, look out for the staff they know and give them fist bumps as they walk by. That speaks volumes as to the relationships these folks build with the community. I also love that even though its not 24 hours, they are open from 0500-2130 during the work week which is enough for my schedule.

I love the multifaceted aspect of it most, which is what made me want to join: the pool, hot tub, wet and dry saunas, weight room, track, group classes, and online option if you're traveling or just cant get in due to weather, little ones, etc....

I also appreciate the option for childcare in the future so I can continue to do things I love. Would definitely recommend to anyone who wants an affordable space with...
