Getting ready!

Big moves happening at your University Y! Yuriy and Daniel were hard at work shifting cardio equipment to make room for more strength training options. Here's the game plan:

  • Thursday - Rearrange the third floor cardio space
  • Friday - Move a few strength pieces to Tacoma Center YMCA
  • Sunday - Move equipment we're keeping to Studio 1
  • Monday - Extraction of all equipment we're trading up
  • Tuesday/Wednesday - Install new equipment
  • Thursday - Finish installing equipment and install turf on first floor
  • Friday - Install turf on the second floor, staff training and final preparations
  • Saturday - We're back open!

While things might look a little cozier, rest assured—everything is spaced according to industry standards for your safety and comfort. Stay tuned for more updates as we level up your workout experience!
