It features a newly renovated fitness center, a gymnasium, and an indoor pool, providing resources for fitness classes, youth sports, swim lessons, and general wellness, aiming to foster a healthy spirit, mind, and body.
The facility maintains one indoor pool, which is kept at a comfortable temperature of 82°F.
What are people saying (AI review summary)? The reviews overwhelmingly praise the YMCA, particularly highlighting its strong sense of community—including intergenerational groups like water volleyball and an overall welcoming, inclusive atmosphere for families. Members appreciate the variety and quality of engaging group classes (e.g., water aerobics, Zumba, Commit Dance Fitness) and well-organized youth camps, even during construction. The facilities are noted as clean, spacious, and not overly crowded.

I so enjoy the group classes. I love Brittany's 9:30 AM deep water aerobics class (how does she come up with so many different moves!?!), the noon water aerobics with Kaitlyn and Mark, and Zumba Gold with Penny. When my knee is up to it, I also love the challenge of Commit Dance Fitness classes. I deeply value the community that has grown out of the water volleyball group. Member leadership has resulted in a social group that ranges in age from members in their 20s to members in late retirement. It is a special blessing in my life.

We have been very impressed with these camps- the kids have a great time; it’s been organized (as much as it can be with the chaos of all the kids); and they actually check IDs at pick up! We have also loved the addition of activity focus weeks and so far we have participated in gymnastics and rock climbing. Even with the construction, our family has had a great experience. Thanks to all who have made it happen!

To Whom It May Concern, I’m writing to share my sincere appreciation and strong recommendation for the YMCA on Pearl Street in Tacoma, Washington. From the moment you walk through the doors, the atmosphere is welcoming, inclusive, and uplifting. The staff are not only professional and knowledgeable but also genuinely care about the people they serve. Whether you’re there for fitness, wellness, youth programs, or community engagement, the Pearl Street YMCA delivers in every area. What truly sets this location apart is the sense of community. The facilities are clean and well-maintained, the group classes are engaging and motivating, and the team makes everyone feel like they belong—no matter their age or fitness level. The Pearl Street YMCA has made a positive impact on my life, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a supportive, high-quality environment to pursue health and personal growth. Sincerely, David Grisaffi

I very much like this gym, its clean, spacious and not very crowded. My main complaint had to do with the staff, they signed me up for a plan I never agreed to and was paying more than I wanted to, I think that's terribly slimy. Overall I'd recommend I would just keep an eye on any automatic payments you make here.

I’ve been a member of the Y since I was 9 years old…I am now 31 with a 2 year old son. That shows how much we enjoy it here. I’m so grateful I can get my workouts in & have my son with me and he can interact with things to do at the Y also. It truly is a great place! I am hoping with the remodel that it only gets better 🙏🏼 Thank you Pearl St YMCA for being a place to always welcome families!
