About

Nonprofit facility featuring a gym, pool, and basketball court, plus daycare.

What are people saying (AI review summary)? The provided reviews contain both a deeply personal reflection and feedback on a specific health club. One reviewer shares their philosophy on prioritizing health, mental well-being, supportive relationships, and passion over monetary wealth, emphasizing the importance of letting go of negativity and putting others first. This reviewer also expresses regret over engaging in negative interactions and inappropriate behavior at the YMCA, despite personal disagreements with certain idealizations. The other reviews focus on a West Seattle YMCA, largely praising its cozy, family-oriented atmosphere, excellent instructors, relaxed environment, and recent upgrades to showers and lockers. It is described as friendly and set in a pleasant, natural environment. However, significant criticism is directed at the extremely limited operating hours (currently only 9 hours per week on select weekdays), which many patrons find unworkable. There is a strong call for increased staffing to allow for expanded hours, ideally returning to pre-pandemic levels. While the gym facilities are noted as fairly limited, they are generally deemed sufficient for a complete workout and are typically not overcrowded, except during basketball events.

Wow 750k Saved and I can say Money isn't everything Health and Mental well being is. Having supportive Groups and Love is Priceless Having a Passion truly is everything in this life and Letting go of negativity is the greatest gift you can give yourself To become your true greatest self. How do you know when a person is good? When they put others before themselves. I'm sad to have fell into traps of others thoughts and negativity. Feed/entertained it My short comings is matching energies. Even if others don't respect you just don't respond or play their games. Even if I disagreed with Propagandizing LBGTQ Idealization to kids. It did not give me the right also to play inappropriate games. I'm Sad my mom asked how it's going at the YMCA 😰. Im not perfect either.😭

This cozy, family oriented health club is the best secret In West Seattle! The instructors are excellent, the atmosphere is relaxed and the complex are thriftily shared with a friendly church. Showers and lockers were recently upgraded. Nestled amid trees for year-round beauty, this is not the largest facilities around but it pegs the needle on friendliness!

Fine with the gym, love the staff, but can we please get some more staff over there to work the gym, the hours are so restricted that it makes it hard to get a workout in

The extremely truncated hours -- M, W, and F from 9 til noon (9 hours a week) is not workable for a very big segment of YMCA patrons. Please expand the hours to pre-pandemic level!!

The gym is fairly limited but good enough to get a complete workout in. Usually not too busy unless there is a basketball event going on
