Member Testimonials
There is a friendly atmosphere. The Ymca sponsors camps with disabilities . Not everybody looks like a olimpic star. The folks that run the Y are good humans.
The swimming lessons offer a variety of days and times, this is especially helpful to working parents. I would like to see the gymnastics classes be offered consistently at the Southwest Branch in Austin, TX. Thank you
Senior arthritis class with Joyce and Edwina.
I love the people and the classes. It feels like home, everybody gets to know you, you find new friends, and you can do everything there.
Youth programs and fitness classes
Love the outdoor pool and class options. Needs more aqua fit classes and parking other than that meets my needs

We love the SW Y for all our family!
Classes start on time
Wide diversity of classes
Outdoor pool open year round for lap swimming
I absolutely love the diverse offerings of classes and instructors. The facility is very family friendly and I never feel out of place. I can honestly say that I’ve met a set of men and women whom I would call “friend”. Great environment for networking and building relationships!
Friendly front personnel. Specifically Lauren, Chad, just to name a few....so sweet
I like how affordable and friendly the gym is.
My 9 year old loves childwatch, but I would request that all childwatches close at the same time. Friday nights, my younger 4 year old daughter’s childwatch ended at 6:00 and my son’s at 7:00. I arrived at 5:30, so I didn’t have much of a workout.
Also, the townlake ymca does lice checks before letting kids enter child-watch. I went to that location a few times, and I was glad they did that for all children to keep lice from spreading. Could the Southwest YMCA do lice checks too before kids come in to play?
More 8 and 8:30 am group work outs like Rocky's resistance. If Rocky is leaving that time, I sure hope you find a great replacement. Everyone loves that class.
More varied classes like barre and power vinyasa
These programs and activities are awesome, very adaptive for the kids and adults.
Love personal training with Christine Hinckle. Her empasis on healthy aging and attention to form make her my favorite trainer!
Bodypump classes are great. Very motivating instructors.
I am able to go to spin classes there as the Townlake Y’s classes are changing and are not as convenient., anymore. Thanks.
Daily class offerings and kids programs
Friendly, welcoming atmosphere to facilitate a great workout!
I have never belonged to a Country Club but I must admit that the South
Austin Y comes mighty close. From the great outdoor pool, to the
special hot tub, the indoor pool. the precious day care with all the many care givers, the upstairs track, the many classes, i. e. Yoga, physical training, the
the special swim classes, super nice staff who always remember your name. The facilities are kept shiny and clean and the lunchroom has happy programs on the big screen TVs for the toddlers. And then to top it all off, there is a computer room and huge basketball court. On special days the members borrow the court and bring their favorite dishes to share. I have been a member for four years to help me recover from back fusion and it has been just what the doctors ordered, so to speak. Oh, yes, not to forget, classes for the elementary grades so they will be ready for the many pools and lakes and be safe. The lifeguards are of course there on every shift, inside and out. The members soon become good friends. And the management, well, lets make sure we say, Thank you!!! WJN, one of the Golden Girls. (P.S. In my spare time I am a licensed Texas Realtor for Stanberry and Associates.)
I love the variety! Most of the instructors i’ve Had are excellent as well!
Lots of choices and nice instructors
So far I haven't engaged in much but have totally benefited from a personal trainer. Annick changed my life!
Zumba Gold is so much fun and the teacher, Barbara is the best. The music is lively and she uses different playlists each session to mix it up. She introduces a new dance routine every few weeks. I've been coming for 5 years and this is the longest I've ever stuck to an exercise program.
I tried a couple of personal trainers at the YMCA and was pleased with both of them. Christine figured out a personal program for me, at my request, so that I can do it on my own. She has a special certification to work with seniors, and I truly appreciate that. I recommend her to others often.
My personal trainer was excellent.
My daughter started dance class yesterday and Miss Brianna is amazing!!!! Both of my kids enjoy their time in child watch when I go to class and we always have a blast st the pool.
