Member Testimonials
Using the outdoor pool to lap swim, especially during covid, really made a difference in my life.
Love yoga ay Southwest Y
I love the child watch and amazing staff in the whole gym!! It is the best gym in Austin!
We love how understanding and patient the staff is with our daughter. She needs extra, individualized attention and they do an amazing job with her.
Really enjoy water classes!
Please upgrade showerheads in men’s locker room.
I like to use the weight machines and spinners. I plan to start attending spinning classes which I have enjoyed in the past. I was a member for twenty plus years (Houston, then Austin) and feel comfortable at the Y since it is used by all ages. In fact I learned to swim at the Y (sixty years ago). 😀
It’s small and friendly
I loved working with my fitness instructor, she taught me all the ways to help by body get stronger in the areas where I needed help.
The in door walk path is awesome because I suffer from allergies, and can't walk outside.
I like the Kid's play, outdoor swimming pool, sauna, and the fitness center.
And the kitchen area.
High quality teaching at an affordable price
I like yoga, Pilates, Nia, and chair strength.
Proximity, and good instructors
Thanks for asking!
1. It would be wonderful for Celeste to have a Wednesday morning class for Gentle Yoga.
2. Ban people from using cell phones while using the Resistance Machines.
3. Provide access to the front doors using BOTH doors and not just one.
Other than that - I really like the Southwest branch. The facilities are great and the staff is fabulous!
Doing body pump, and that you have a few large weights (16 kg?). Can you get more? 🙏 Also really appreciate the front staff

Variety, facilities, convenience.
The diversity and inclusion I observe on almost every visit.
Classes are top-notch, while still welcoming to all.
I love the light-filled spaces and the non-workout spaces that are for gathering and quiet work.
I love the open concept design of the basketball court so that we can all hear the joyous sound of children playing sports.
Something for everyone and the staff is outstanding
Everyone is so friendly.
I love the awesome childcare provided so I can get a workout in. I have recently started taking the Body Pump and Core classes and really love them!
Classes
This is the best Y in Austin! It's so cool and mellow, has fitness activities for every person, every level and every age group. The kids play area while the parents are working out is amazing and I just love this YMCA.
the people are so kind.
Wonderful people, awesome instructors, nice members, cool co-workers & boss
Swimming and basketball coaches are professional and kind.
Great instructors, variety in program opportunities, especially for older adults. But what sets you apart is the fantastic greeting I get every time I check in. I appreciate that!
Outdoor pool, playground, child watch, group adult fitness classes. All is accessible and affordable.
Time and diversity of programs are a plus. Instructors are knowledgeable and accommodating. The facility is always clean.
I love that the outdoor lap pool is heated for the winter and I can continue swimming laps. The cardio equipment area is well maintained.
