I like the water aerobics program because they are set so that anyone can participate at a level comfortable to them
Friendly staff. Well run lap swimming program.
very clean, friendly staff and great exercise equipment.
Enjoyed first Zumba class with Sharon.
I want more yoga and especially classes added on the weekends. I also want more access to the indoor pool.
Convenient, comprehensive, and affordable.
Friendly atmosphere, some range of classes for all levels of fitness, great outdoor pool
Swim classes with Shauna (need more morning classes please).
Nice weight room and the entire facility.
Friendly and helpful staff.
Friendly people who go to the Y.
Very clean always.
Used child care for years. Would like to see older child area open again.
I like that u have adaptive sessions in all areas for the mentally and /or physically challenged. I even like that occasionally a homeless person will be in to take a shower. I feel like I am gifting a nonprofit while still benefiting from it for myself and my family.
The Senior Dance class is what I needed. Also plan to start swimming.
The outdoor pool is great! We go there with our son and his two very young children. The staff are helpful and most are friendly. The bathrooms were clean.
I walk the track. I like it & the people I meet.
Just took my first Pilates class and loved it! Loved that I can register on the app.
Reserved outdoor lap lanes
I like the staff first and foremost. They are so sweet and helpful and nice. I like the group strength classes. I tend not to lift weights when I'm on my own but enjoy body pump class.
Aquatics department seems very organized now. Peggy is fantastic. Our instructors this summer have been wonderful so far. We have not used the other facilities since the pandemic, but we look forward to getting back to it.
Everything!
The team at the Y is amazing Mr. Bred at Buda was an amazing help on every game and super friendly thank you so much.
The people connected with the program, coaches and admin.
I personally love the aquatic classes! I can’t wait till there are more spaces open so I can for sure make it into a class!
I strongly appreciate the care that YMCA SW is taking in providing virus safe classes via limited class sizes and spacious rooms
Great place, staff is always so friendly!
I am enjoying the indoor pool for aerobic water activities. I wish there were more morning times to reserve in addition to Monday, Wednesday, and Friday.
Very nice swim outside. Friendly staff and lifeguards.
The coaches are amazing and encourages good sportsmanship
We love YMCA volleyball! Two of our kids have been participating for a couple of years. Just wish we'd gotten involved with it earlier.
I would like more in-person cardio funk dance classes. I'm not a huge fan of Zumba... a lot of us prefer more Pop songs than just latin music (with latin music, the moves are more "flowy" and you don't work up a sweat as much. PLEASE bring back in-person cardio funk dance classes. We had a great instructor -- Melanie Smith -- who is currently teaching Step & Strong out at the Springs Y. Would love to have her or their cardio dance instructor, Annette Hiller, teach in person at the Southwest Y.
Friendly staff, excellent equipment, and a nice aquatics program make the Southwest Austin YMCA a 10!
I just love that place it is literally the greatest

Love body pump, Zumba and all of the great staff!
