Member Testimonials
Great atmosphere and great instruction. Office staff very helpful
I like the way the place is laid out. I particularly like the more low key upstairs exercise area and the indoor track. The staff are very friendly and helpful. I always look forward to my workouts.
Wide ranging and affordable.
Friendliness, helpful, clean facilities.
Good way to introduce kids to a new sport, in a non-competitive, encouraging environment.
This was our third year playing volleyball, 7-10 yr old girls, with Coach Lisa Evans. We have loved every moment! Practices are so much fun and the games are low stress, full of fun, and great exercise! Thank you for providing such a wonderful place for our kids to learn and grow!
Lovely setting, nice swimming facilities, quiet during my visit
They have a variety of group workouts with child care available. Multiple locations is a plus as well.
The kids enjoy the team environment and convenience
Teamwork mentality and encouragement!
Love the sauna and the hot-tub and indoor pool! The staff is always courteous and friendly. The Y has become a refuge and personal Oasis that I look forward to after a busy day.
Am just getting back to the Y now and everyone has been so helpful. I love the outdoor pool!
Great instructors!
Good range of exercise options in a clean, well ventilated environment.
We love Child watch and the family pool. There are activities for our entire family and we feel freedom to go workout while our kids are well taken care of.
its the best!
Generally only use the pools. I love it!
Love the Tai Chi classes. Master So is very knowledgeable and makes it fun. He showed me some accupressure points recently that really helped me. Just started taking zumba with Conner Grady - he is fun. Swimming options are great. Nice to be able to cool off with the nice trees and shade in the outdoor pool area.
The passion of the staff and instructors
All!
Outdoor pool
Lots of classes, great equipment and I love the sauna. Why not all YMCAs have one?
I love this place, everyone is very nice, and respectful. It feels like family, my kids love it!!
Love the track, with the windows/clerestory! And the front desk folks are very friendly. I also like the general vibe, the nice people that come to the Y, and the stretching/weight area on the top floor. It's also in a convenient/nice part of Austin.
The instructors are knowledgeable and personable, creating a community among the class participants.. I have been pleased with the variety and availability of classes. Overall, the Southwest Y has been a wonderful home for me for the past 12 years
Loved the indoor pool 🏊♂️ And the dressing room facility.
Lap swimming in the dark a.m. is the best.
Variety and good instructors.
