Been here for a month. Everything is great so far! I like the privacy the womens locker room offers. Staff is friendly and caring. No one judges you, everyone is encouraging and supportive. Activtrax coaches are knowledgeable. Its clean and sanitary. Morgan Y has a few upgrades, but I dont care for the major upgrades like in Lakewood. Gym time is gym time. My kid takes a number of classes here with no complaints. Teachers/ instructors are open to hear any concerns. Most Membership Services are kind. There are a few with unprofessional attitudes. If you get someone rude, share that youd like to be more private with your finances. Modesty. Everyone respects that unwritten rule there because its Christian based and family orientated. No one cares what size you are, if youre firm or jiggly. BUT the last few days there...Theres that one person that messes it up. Please do not hike up your shorts to make them look like youre working out in underwear. This is the YMCA. The only one thing I do NOT like are people (mainly teens) that are wasting space. One will sit on a machine while 2-3 stand around chatting with the one sitting. HEY! I NEED TO USE THAT! Lol there are sitting areas to hang out. Lastly, staff will gracefully take care of any of those complaints. If I could Id give this place 4.5. But rounding up will do!

Ive been a member here for over 30 years. The staff has always been helpful, the facility is well maintained and the equipment is replaced and upgraded regularly. It also has a Subway in the facility, which is convenient if you need a quick meal. The smell of fresh baked chocolate chip cookies in the lobby is a bit unfair though :) I dont make use of them myself but there are many different group exercise classes through out the day, pretty much something for everyone. One benefit of the Y in general is the option to use other Ys when traveling. Ive used Ys in many different parts of the country while traveling. There always seems to be one in the area when Im on the road.

I have been a member for almost 3 years, and I LOVE it! The staff is wonderful, always with a bright smile and more than willing to help with whatever you need. I dont take a lot of classes, but I (re)started Spin Class this year, and have met a lot of great fellow members that way. The cardio equipment is the best of any gym Ive gone to, and the weight room has just about anything you could want, and usually a few different types of machines for each muscle group. I cant say enough good about the Y! The smell of baking bread & cookies from the Subway inside will definitely whet your appetite!

I absolutely love this YMCA. I have been going here for over 15 years, and I could not be happier with the way the staff has treated me. So many of the members as well seem to possess friendly and loving attitudes.So many people have been encouraging to me in my health and recovery. Every time I go there I am reminded of how truely blessed I am to live in a town with a place like this. Also, the therapy pool cannot be beat! the jets are powerful, and after I leave, I feel like I have had a full body massage. I am so thankful for this place!

Morgan Y belongs to the Pierce County YMCA group. It is one of the weaker branches in terms of staff, facilities, and parking. While some staff (esp Angel) is stellar, theres a tone of indifference over most of the people here - particularly at the front desk. Facilities at most branches are more updated, the spaces are brighter. Parking is crowded here. The particular plus here would be the youth offerings. The dance and aquatics programs for youth is particularly good. Downtown is adults only and Lakewood doesnt have as many.

Way too expensive for parents who need a workout while the kids are in daycare! Its $105 for a membership for my wife, two children and I. Then they charge an extra $5.50 per hour at their daycare to watch my kids! WTF! If I workout for just an hour everyday it would cost me over $150 extra just for them to watch my two kids. What kind of parent these days has $275 + to spend on a gym membership per month! No wonder parents cant keep in shape, its because of money robbing gyms like the Y!

The staff is nice but not well informed. Classes can be cancelled without prior notification. Classes can be on the other side of the city without prior notification. You can be denied access to the climbing wall after you have been given prior permission to use it. There is just a very low standard of information. Luckily the staff is always friendly and approachable, so you wont stay angry too long. It could be managed a whole lot better.

Hot tube is warm and dirty, there is dirt on the bottom of the pools. Showers are terrible, staff allows people to be naked in steam and sauna without towels under them. The only thing that is a plus is the cardio room. This Ymca needs a Major upgrade.

I love this Y, I have been to the Y all over the state because of work and I believe the Morgan Y to be one of the best. It all starts with man at the top. The facility director is amazing and one of the nicest men you will ever meet.

I love this "Y"...♡ The staff is awesome...they have heart to serve everyone that comes through the doors... They strive for excellence not perfection. The membership executive, Phil, has nothing short of a blessing.

Carolyn Read

Excellent classes. Genuinely nice teachers that help everyone enjoy classes at all skill levels. I go to several different YMCAs but this one has the best line up of group classes for my schedule. Keep it up!

I love the Y. It does so much for kids. There is a guy who works in the pool area who is great with the kids his name is Ben. Hes awesome!

Signed in for a tour. Left unhappy, after half an hour, after several other people walked in and got helped without even signing in. |~{>

This branch is great for kids. Open gym is the best place to spend a couple hours on a rainy day. Swim instructors are great.

Gaylynn Asuncion

Best place to bring your family for your all Family fun. Safe for kids to hang out with playing and working out.
