Member Testimonials
I enjoy the water exercise classes. Have formed some very good friendships with other members.
Havent tried any yet
I like the free classes once you become a member and childcare service.
the Southwest YMCA in Austin has all of the necessary equipment for my weightlifting and cardioe
excellent teachers and affordable price
Warm pool, friendly people, uncrowned.
Recommend the special Needs programs, inclusiveness, diversity and sense of community to everyone, every chance I can.
YMCA is great and nearby. I have recommended the Y to numerous Veterans at the Austin VA and some have joined for their well being. They we're pleased with the membership!
The instructor was so patient with my son who wouldn't even get in the water for the first lesson. Both kids saw great progress in just 4 lessons.
I like the variety of classes but it would be nice if more barre classes were added in the evening hours and not just during the day when people are working. Also more equipment (balls, bands, etc ) would be nice for the barre classes
I like the diversity of the staff and participants at the Y. Most of all the friendliness.
I've just started going to the SW "Y" and I really appreciate how friendly and helpful everyone is.
I like the consistency of the classes.
My kids enjoy using the gym, and I utilize the walking track. I also lIke the teen room and the swimming pool.
I like the kids get a little more one on one attention
We love the SNAP adaptive programs for the disabled. My disabled son has been in the Friday evening adaptive swimming class for about three years, and he wouldn't miss it. The SNAP classes are very important to the disabled community, providing recreation and a connection to other disabled people. We really appreciate all the YMCA does for the disabled in our community.
Affordable for multiple kids. But not just affordable, high quality.
Great sportsmanship for sports and inclusive atmosphere.
All of it! Childcare, playground, classes :)
Very good selection and choice of how strenuous
We LOVE your childcare workers!!!
Instructors are knowledgeable and make it fun! Everyone is so kind!
Organized and good communication. Our coach was great and our daughter had so much fun.
It’s fun. Ppl have a good attitude. Positive vibes for kids.
I like how child watch is available so that parents can exercise, and the great children swimming instructors. It would be great if a "Parent's Night Out" became available at the Southwest Family YMCA on various Saturday evenings like at Town Lake, which always has a large waiting list. Thank you!
Cardio machines, free weights.
Gym and pool staff is kind also
The emphasis on Senior fitness by offering so many Senior Group Exercise classes.
And the facilities are clean.
I especially like Shauna and Rebecca as teachers. Excellent!
Friendly staff. It will be better if swim league will practice in the indoor pool during cold months.
Encouraging the athletes, learning teamwork, convenient locations, reasonable cost

I like the people! The staff greets me from the minute I walk in the door to the moment I walk out. The life guards are courteous and helpful. The other people that join me in the classes are kind and friendly. I love going to the Y!
