Great classes/times
Both my wife and I really like this gym. We mostly go at "off peak" times so it's pretty easy to get around and use the free weights and machines.
Most people, although focused on their workouts, are quite nice.
It would be good if the staff put up some sort of (kind) sign asking folks not to take over a station for 15, 20, sometimes 30 minutes - alternately doing a set and then sitting on the station and staring at their phone for 5 or 10 minutes between sets.
Good teachers
its very family friendly
Everything!!!!
I do have a suggestion though.
On Easter Sunday, I checked your website to see if you were going to be open since it was a holiday. There was NO notice.
So, I called - there was NO message on the phone about the holiday either.
Suggest you put a notice on website when you are closed - for people like myself who don't observe some of the standard holidays.
Variety
Absolutely love it at the YMCA of Austin. Great atmosphere and great place to learn!
The swimming instructors are excellent. They get in the water with the kids to help teach the strokes. They are patient, kind and competent.
Very easy to work with and flexible give Munson is involved in a lot of activities. Adeena is great as is my son’s instructor Linda. I can already notice improvement after only a few private lessons.
The heated pool and playground!
I do water aerobics. It has helped me to have greater endurance and mobility.
Nice room to move around
Working out at the SW YMCA branch is frequently the highlight of my day. I always look forward to a warm welcome from the front desk staff as I walk through the door. Favorite classes include Spin with Smitha, Body Combat with Mary, Pump with Gilberto and Barre with Emily. Recently I got back into Rocky's weights class as well, which I love. I appreciate the diversity and inclusive feel so much; several sweet souls even surprised me with a Happy Birthday song this winter!
Clean facilities, caring instructor, my child enjoyed attending her swim lessons!
group classes. being able to go to any facility
Great staff. Consistent good programming.
That outdoor lap pool is one of my favorite spots in Austin. Staff is friendly, plenty of seating and it's never too crowded.

Friendly staff and diverse membership
clean convenient good selection of activities
I love the child watch program
I love the sauna!
Seems basketball was in demand this year. Courts were crowded, games were chaotic at the downtown Y. 6:30 practice time is hard for a 6 year old. And that downtown gym is really noisy and could use bleachers.
I love the classes - yoga and Zumba
Gilbert the instructor
