Member Testimonials
Large variety of programs and activities throughout the day. Easy to incorporate into daily schedule. Instructors are friendly and welcoming.
I love playing pickle ball. I recently discovered it at the YMCA at Town Lake and it has rapidly become my favorite sport. Thanks to the folks at the Y for making space for it, a least in a few of the gymnasiums. Every time I play there are many members enjoying the competition in a welcoming environment. I look forward to the Southwest YMCA offering pickle ball soon!

Swim instructors are great with my four year old! He lived going to class
The mobile app for reserving my spot is not only convenient, following safe public guidelines, it also helps with my accountability for my health goals.
We love the SW Family Y's diversity, its supportive environment and the way we treat each other.
I mostly use the elliptical machine, treadmill and lap pool. I like that elliptical and treadmill are well maintained and available all the time.
The gym, the pool, the sauna, the classes, and good staff. It is also convenient and close to where I live.
Open basketball time. Great outdoor pool. Helpful staff.
The showers and exercise machines were clean and the facility appeared well managed. Appreciated my daughter was welcomed as a guest and because of her positive experience is now considering joining the Y with her family at their locations.
The instructors are friendly and well prepared and facilities are super clean and accessible.
HOWEVER, IT IS EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO SCHEDULE CLASSES WITHOUT HAVING TO BE UP BEFORE 6:00 AM TO TRY TO BEAT THE OTHER MEMBERS TO A LIMITED SLOT 2 DAYS IN THE FUTURE. AND YOU HAVE TO DO THIS FOR EVERY CLASS EACH TIME YOU WANT TO ATTEND. SURELY THERE MUST BE A BETTER WAY!!!
I don’t participate in any programs or schedule activities. I just like the location. Especially since the renovation. It’s consistently clean
Pool & playground are great for our little one
The water classes and barre, but most of all the instructors they are great
Love the child watch and the warm atmosphere.
Variety
Times offered throughout the day

Clean and Member reps are very helps and friendly
The sign up app for lap swimmers.
I LOVE all the classes...BUT: right now I do not feel as safe as I did previously when you were taking the temperature of all who entered,andwhen more people were wearing masks. The other day I asked the teacher to provide ventilation by turning on the fan and she opted not to and I was the only one wearing a mask in that room and social distancing keep getting compromised. I would like you to make it safer for us --especially us elders. Thank you!
Friendly staff and clean facilities
The variety of activities, the instructors and the friendliness of staff.
Being able to reserve a lane to swim.
Unlike many local facilities. The staff is always personable & helpful Friendly yet professional. A real benefit to continue coming back to the Y. Thank you all. Name removed
Water aerobics and pilates & yoga
Well rounded activities. Safe environment. I would like instructors to start and finish on time. Certain yoga classes and body pump on Thursday goes longer.
outdoor pool
Convenient location and good selection of group exercise classes. Rebecca Berryman was warm and welcoming to her gentle yoga class. She did a great job of explaining the postures and breathing plus offered modification options.
It’s a great contrast to the more strenuous and challenging classes like Bodypump and BodyCombat. The Les Mills instructors at Southwest Y are the best: Gilbert, Lee, Betsy, Meghan. Nowhere else compares!
Great staff, wonderful pool. Miss the spin classes.
I love the fact that it's a family oriented.
