Diverse offerings. Great teachers. Proximity.

Town Lake Y is an inviting place for community exercise. It has plenty of capacity to find available equipment for cardio and weight training, swimming, etc.
Clean facilities, staff friendly & attentive, pool access, pleasant overall
Teacher was not very friendly. Not sure why :(
I came to the North Y to attend the aquatic Tai Chi class you offer. It was very calming. Elaina, the instructor, helped guide the class in a peaceful & mindful manner.
I have some small physical limitations due to various forms of arthritis, but I never felt pushed to do anything I couldn't or shouldn't do.
I felt comfortable and accepted, even when modifying the class exercises to my needs, as the instructor suggested we should do!
The pool area was gorgeous, with the
sun reflecting through the stained glass panels. Also, the temp in the pool was perfectly warm. It was all very relaxing, which was the whole point of the exercise!
Afterward, I found the locker & shower area outstanding! I especially liked the option of a hand held wand, in addition to the standard showerhead, in each shower stall.
The separate dry, curtained changing area within in each shower stall was also an extremely appreciated amenity!
I thoroughly enjoyed the time I spent at your facility! I plan to visit often...
I like the variety of exercise programs offered, the skilled instructors who who always offer suggestions for alternative moves for those people with some physical limitations, the friendliness of the participants in classes. I always leave the YMCA feeling uplifted by my experiences!
We loved our instructor (I believe her name was Lenny?). She had a schedule prepared for every class, and did very well teaching this age group. We look forward to putting First name removed in swim lessons again later this year!
The swim lessons have been wonderful for my son! Thank you!
We love the trainers and their encouragement and energy.
It is casual and I feel comfortable working out there. People know you by name and the trainers are very knowledgeable and do not push you to the point of breaking, but push you to results.
All of your swim instructors I had were AWESOME!! They made me feel confident and safe in the water. I learned something from each and every on of them. I'm an adult learner and I didn't know anything about swimming. I took several classes each time I learned something new and got the chance to work one on one with and instructor to perfect my technique.
The North Austin YMCA is a fabulous facility that doesn't discrimination on age, race, or politics! Its overall design is modern, sleek, open, and engaging; featuring awesome dressing rooms [one for Men and another for Women, that include lockers, showers, scales, restrooms, hair-dryers, and a long-lighted vanity], a full-sized basketball court, a 25-meter lap pool, a smaller swimming pool, a sauna, state-of-the-art exercise equipment that encompass the entire 2nd-floor of the facility. Additionally, they offer a large number of classes including: water exercise, yoga [Vinyas, Hatha, Hatha Flow], spinning, weight-lifting, aerobics, cardio, Tai Chi, Mat Pilates, Zumba, Silver Sneakers, plus many more! The Membership Fees are reasonable, and low-income people are offered assistance. This is a safe environment: no smoking, drinking, drugs, profanity, bullying, or offensive behavior is tolerated! [Also, there is a child-care center!] This is a place that has something to offer to everyone.
I was surprised by the range of programs available. I am specifically interested in water exercises due to having rheumatoid arthritis. I have found daily classes that are perfect for me. The instructors are welcoming and motivating and the classes challenging and fun. I have been attending Monday through Friday and have felt less pain and greater mobility since going to these classes. Also, all the people I have dealt with at the front desk have been kind, patient and helpful.
I will also be using the weight room and hope to take swimming lessons soon.
Facilities and staff were great!
Staff programs it all
No crowds.
