The wait is finally over! At Mel Korum Family YMCA in Puyallup and Haselwood Family YMCA in Silverdale, our teams have been renovating and rethinking the way we lay out and equip our strength training areas. We’re pleased to announce that construction has finished, and we invite you to check out the new spaces! 

The Y invested in our strength community in 2023 by renovating four total community centers, including Gordon Family YMCA, Haselwood Family YMCA, Mel Korum Family YMCA, and Tom Taylor Family YMCA. These enhancements are the result of an in-depth study of how our members move through the gym during workouts.  

The new gym area provides you with the equipment, machines, and space you need to do and be your best: 

  • New and upgraded strength equipment  
  • A new layout designed for optimal flow and space during workouts 
  • High-tech flooring with sound-dampening features  
  • Turf field space as well as sleds 
  • Less wait time for popular machines and equipment  
  • Greater accessibility for members who need mobility support
