The variety of classes and the available of trainers
The gym the pool really nice staff and community members; clean well kept facilities
I like it
The Southwest Y has a nice variety of classes. The pool is heated and always available. All of the staff is helpful, kind, and friendly!!!
Love the Active Older Adults class, Gentle Yoga, and the elliptical machines.
I like the low cost for sports programs, friendly front desk, and humble atmosphere. As well, a real sense of community. The ladies in childwatch are really good to the kids and know them all well. Couple things I don't like...there is a wall separating lap pool from the family pool. Each time I am there to swim, I hear a whistle and passive aggressive tone from lifeguards saying "don't hang on the wall"...the kids don't even get it and I don't either. Just let them hang on the wall as long as they don't go over into other pool! Guessing it's an old rule that has just existed through "tribal voice"..serves little purpose. Also, would be nice to have cold drinking water in fountains.
Thanks for listening...we enjoy coming to the YMCA often.
the options of classes
Several months ago I requested wall clocks be put in the weight room but i got no answer or action.
I like to time myself and don't want to carry my cell with me all the time.

Variety
Useful equipment and Friendly Staff
1) The fact that I can visit a 'Y' as far away as Berlin and be admitted to use their facilities. I've used the Y in Colorado, South Carolina, and Louisiana, and this makes membership a great value!
friendly staff and instructors- good variety of group classes. clean and great child watch.
The Zumba/Cardio Funk classes are great! And it would be great to have all of them be 1 hour.
Great outdoor pool-Joe deserves all the kudos and credit!
Senior activities
I've been going to the Barre-type classes on Mondays and Wednesdays and really like them.
Friendly staff. Clean, good facilities. Friendly members.
I love the yoga classes you offer around 5:30. They're run by great people, and setup at a good time for me to get there from work.
Child Care is awesome, my daughter loves it and it makes it so fun and easy to go to the Y. It has a good community feel.
Water aerobics, treadmill, yoga and walk path.
Like the SilverSneakers offerings
The Staff are very friendly and helpful with any questions you may have regarding the facilities and equipment. There is a tremendous variety of equipment to meet your needs including an indoor track. There is something for every member of the family (from the oldest to the youngest). The facility is well kept and clean. Many exercise classes to choose from. I highly recommend the YMCA of Austin. (Customer of the YMCA South Austin)
Variety of offerings
I mainly just use the gym so far. Has all the equipment I need. Looking forward to the kids classes and activities as our kids get older.
