Haselwood Family YMCA

janet is awesome!!! I have worked out here for the last two years and typically go in the morning when it’s not as packed I wish there was more free weight space as the busy time is just crazy packed but cus of my current schedule I stick to this place out of customer service, cleanliness and convenience.

I am giving the ymca a one star for the lap pool. I hear constant complaints about how lap swimmers are consistently sharing lanes. If u are joining the ymca for swimming laps let me warn you that u will have to share lanes with constant swim lessons, swim teams, life guard training, water classes, and this is the worse, PARENTS WHO DO NOT PUT THEIR CHILDREN IN SWIM DIAPERS LEADING TO CONTAMINATION TO THE REC POOL AND HAVING 6 LAP LANES TAKEN AWAY TO ACCOMMODATE FOR THIS. UGH. Why in the world do you not designate lap pool times…0900 to 1600. It would save so much frustration. I have been kicked out of my lane, hit in the head by some kid who doesn’t know how to swim laps. I believe this YMCA is much too small now for their growing clientele. My son was going to join and I told him good luck with swimming laps and he told me he read all the cimplaints. GET IT TOGETHER YMCA. I pay dues tooooooo. So very unhappy and spreading the word!

Give us back our bathroom and locker privacy and we’ll start our family membership again. Its as simple as that. You need cameras in your parking lot too due to theft bring a major issue. You need a larger loading zone and to fire whoever designed your parking lot. Its an accident waiting to happen.

The staff have no idea what they are doing and are very rude with any and all interactions I’ve seen with gym goers. Few of the gym policies are ever enforced due to the fact the staff violate most of them in their workout time and when they are they are done without regard to the gym goer.

I really enjoy this facility. There are so many great class options and the equipment is all great. The staff is always so helpful and the different instructors are always amazing!

The YMCA as a facility and its equipment are great. The downside/​low rating? The staff does not uphold the rules nor are they willing to enforce them. There hasn’t been many days where I go and see some roided up jerk hogging a piece of equipment. I did back and shoulders for about 1.5 hours and the same muscle head/​Arnold wanna be was on the same machine. I asked several times if I could rotate in and his response was, «I am training and have priority» I spoke to one of the wandering employees and told him to which his response was, «well I cannot kick him off» Bottom line is the staff do not care about the rules and I come to find out the guy hogging the equipment was a buddy of the employee. The weight room seems to cater to the bulked up posers who fit the stereotypical gym a-​hole. The ones who are more into their pink protein shakes and hitting on every female that walks by. This is not Golds Gym fellas and doing super sets on the same equipment for over an hour is rude. However, do not expect the employees do anything but smile and shrug their shoulders.

Fantastic YMCA! Proud to be a member.

Garbage employees and clueless trainers, never coming back to this garbage of a dump and embarrassment to silverdale

We will never participate in a YMCA membership again. 3 months ago my husband got hurt on the job so we went in and suspended our membership. he has since been let go from his employer until he has finished recovering. The Y called us last month to let us know our suspension was almost over and our membership would restart in January. We explained the circumstances and told them that until he is employed again we can not afford the monthly fees. We were informed while on the phone that it wouldn’t be a problem and they would deactivate our account. Today I went to buy milk and my debit card was declined. I checked my bank account which should have had $ 70 in it and it showed the following. YMCA fees removed $ 72, because I didn’t have enough in our account we were were charged a $ 25 overage fee. That $ 70 was all we had for food and gas to last us a week and half! I have called and spoke with the supervisor about the membership and overage fees. I was basically brushed off. She told me it is in their policy that I have to go in to cancel our membership. I asked her then why did your associate on the phone tell us we were cancelled and good to go. She had no answer. Didn’t even apologize! They refuse to give us our money back. DO NOT come here theh will smile to your face but once they can’t have your money anymore it is all down hill.

Love it here. This gym has become like my second home. I definitely prefer this ymca over the Bremerton. One of two things; they have cloth towels instead of paper towels to wipe down the machines, and the weight and cardio machines are in the same room. The track is also centrally located in the middle of multiple cardio machines with little outer spaces with weights and spots to do some stretching. Even when it’s crowded this place is awesome. And the staff is always friendly! Especially a woman with blonde hair that is just full of energy. I swear it’s as if she remembers every face she’s ever seen. I drive 35 minutes for this little place of greatness. =)

I absolutely love the Y! Clean facility, great staff, and awesome personal trainers. The classes that they offer are definitely my favorite, you always leave completely dead and yet you feel amazing at the same time. Forever recommending this place to people I know.

I hate this place. As soon as the other gym opens in bremerton I will be canceling my membership. I would rather drive the extra miles. Horrible customer service, way too crowded, they keep cutting their hours and they way over charge. Very disappointed and I know I’m not the only one. Do not go here. Don’t waste your time or money.

We LOVE the Haselwood YMCA! We just joined about a month and a half ago and it’s been wonderful! The staff here is always so friend and helpful! The facility is very clean and the classes are great! We leave our daughter in the childcare facility and they always take very good care of her (she is 4months old). Every Saturday I take our daughter swimming in the very awesome pool and she has a blast! I also love that they have all new equipment in the facility. All of the Precore machines have the TV monitors directly on them.
I have been a member of 24 hour fitness for years and when we moved here there was no facility close to us so I thought I was out of luck as far as a gym but I must say that the YMCA has exceeded my expectations and I actually like it better than any 24 hour fitness I have been to!

This place is pretty much the «bomb». Lots of different choices of different activities to do.
Especially nice is the aquatics program and facilities. I will review this area as I am a «regular». The pool area has a dry sauna, steam room, jacuzzi spa. lazy river. Instructional pool. slide, lap lanes. Lessons for all ages from infants to adult classes. And plenty of water fitness classes to boot.
The biggest drawback. The family shower rooms could be more more handicap accessible Only two rooms are dedicated and set up for the disabled folks. And they are shared with families. It would be nice if all the remaining family rooms had folding shower benches and a hand held shower massage. Just two dressing rooms marked for handicap to use is not enough far too often.

I will start at the front desk, since they are the first thing you have to get by when you enter the building. I only enrolled my kids as members because they were doing the programs and sports teams. This meant that every time I had to check in at the front desk. However, they have absolutely NO consistency, because some days they would just scan my kids in and wave me through and some days they would freak out and make me get a stamp on my hand, and there were even a few days I had a girl tell me that it just didn’t matter, I think she misplaced the stamp.
As for the program coaching staff I am completely disappointed with the way they operate. I asked repeatedly to set up a meeting with my daughters coach through his boss. His boss kept trying to set back the date and when I would suggest a date that worked for me, she stopped responding to me all together. This is absolutely no way to handle a situation in which a parent needs to have a sit down meeting with the program staff!
They have no integrity at this establishment, which I find very ironic, as they are always preaching their «Y» values and their «Y» stories.
Well as of ⁰⁴⁄₂₀₁₅ my «Y» story is that I pulled my kids membership because this is not a place that want my kids to be a part of when the staff can’t handle themselves appropriately! Haselwood you should be ashamed!

I’ve been to other YMCAs. I used to go to the YMCA in West Seattle on Fauntleroy. But now that I’m living in this area, this is very convenient. I love the whole gym itself.
They have lots of cardio equipment upstairs and some downstairs. Most weight equipment downstairs and a free weights area and squat rack.
They offer childcare for parents who like to come to workout from 6 weeks old and on. You purchase a punch card depending on the price you want to spend. $ 3.50/hour for childcare. They also have a jungle gym area kind of like the one Chuckie Cheese or Mcdonalds.
They have tons of classes available all free with a membership unless it’s swimming lessons or for the children classes.
They have a party room also available for birthday parties.
The locker rooms are awesome because they are split into two sides but adjoin going to the pool/​sauna/​hot tub! They split between one side for woman with no children and with children. They also have a family changing room section that adjoins to the pool as well. The steam room wasn’t working when I went but I don’t know how long it has been out of service. Hot tub was great and sauna was awesome. They have lazy pool, two slides (one for big kids, & the other for younger children. The temperature of the water was lukewarm.
Love it here!

This location is always packed! It’s brand new, and has everything a gym should have. I usually come to play basketball, or stop in at any of the dance classes. It’s fun! It’s hard to find parking because there are always a lot of people here…

Time for an update: Once again today I left early due to the obscene overcrowding. For 2015, I’ve decided to give this place a daily grade. Last Sunday they got the only A I’ll probably give out. Why? It was Super Bowl Sunday and I was in heaven. Today, a week later, they got an F-​. Crowds, crowds, and more crowds. Unfortunately the floor staff has really deteriorated. When I attend (1−3PM) one so-​called staff member does nothing but stand around and run his pie hole. I’ve dubbed him «Mr. Useless». And it’s not just my opinion — friends have asked me «What does that guy DO?» Nada!
This place worships at the altar of PC to the point of an obsession. They have signs saying «don’t slam the weights» and «lower weights under control». This, along with «please re-​rack your weights after use» is totally ignored. It is very common to see the tattooed Neanderthals (and a female staff member) literally THROW the loaded barbell down so that it bounces back up 12″ and causes a 5.3 on the Richter scale. Nothing is done because the staff doesn’t want to be seen as «confrontational». There is only one staff guy left who will actually reprimand an offender but as he told me last week «They won’t enforce the rules here». I suppose this is just a general reflection of today’s culture of only caring about one’s own little selfish world and not to think of the common good.
It may be apocryphal, but I’ve heard that they have 30,000 members now (suckers!) and as usual they want more. And they raise the already high rates every year. Welcome to gym dystopia. You simply cannot get a good, regular workout here, but it’ll certainly raise your blood pressure and stress level.

I really, really love this YMCA. Not only is it a fantastic facility, but the staff is awesome. Sometimes they’re a little bit over-​run, but that’s not their fault… I try to keep that in mind when I left waiting.
I can’t say that I use the downstairs very often… We have played racquetball a few times, and I’ve been to one Zumba class in the large gym. Both were great experiences.
We use the pool all the time… My kids love the shallow area and when they have the slide open it’s a great time. I love that it’s included in our membership and that the pool has such flexible hours. Even when they have activities, very often half of the pool is still open to the public. I also love that the hot tub is close enough to the pool that I can sit and relax while my kids play (they’re 7 & 11, and establish swimmers).
I love that on Fridays you can bring a guest for free… This makes it easy for my kids to invite a friend along once-​in-​a-​while without my having to worry about the additional cost.
My favorite part about this facility, hands down, is the running track upstairs. I have a hard time running outside because I’m in the process of losing weight and it’s hard on my knees and my ankles to run on concrete. I don’t particularly enjoy running on treadmills… It feels very monotonous to me. Running on this track seems to have become my sweet spot… I’m up to about half mile runs at a time, and while it is exhausting at times, it is never monotonous.
We have been members for about a year and a half at this location… We have been YMCA members much longer than that… We love this location and will keep coming back.

People from many walks in life come here… I see the elderly, young and middle age… I see people walk in on their own power and some with assistance. I assume some come on the advice of their doctor, friends… perhaps some come because they have the drive to exert and demand from their physical capabilities. But regardless of what brought them here, I am certain that everyone is here for at least to find improvement in themselves.
No one will do it for you… make your heart pump, work up a sweat… improve upon your health. Happy Friday friends!!!
