Member Testimonials
Lap swimming
The staff are so welcoming!
Love Tai Chi with Yayoi!
My husband and I have attended for several yrs and recommend to others.
The class has made a tremendous difference in posture, flexibility, balance, ROM, and poise!
Really appreciate outdoor classes during this time of Covid!
They are inclusive.
Love outdoor exercise. Especially cycling with Renee and Zumba.
Cleanliness and friendly atmosphere
I like the laid-back, easy-going feel of the Springs YMCA. I love that it feels like small town and embraces all ages. I also love the family atmosphere.
Please bring Zumba Gold back for us seniors! Vanessa at Townlake was fantastic! Can’t you do an outdoor Zumba gold?
We generally confine our use to the pool.
Friendly staff. Originally joined for access to lap swimming at pool, which I've very much enjoyed, but hope to eventually take advantage of other exercise programs and facilities.
The positive attitude and energy of all the staff!
I love coming into the YMCA at town lake to lift weights. The staff is always congenial, and members are fairly well behaved, and just want to get a great workout.
The Y is always one of my favorite places to visit in Austin.
Specially at these times, I am impressed at the seriousness and the level of empathy with which you all work. Going safely to the YMCA since it opened after the first months of pandemic closure has given me the energy I need to remain hopeful.
variety of classes and frequency, the instructors are awesome!
I like to see/feel that the places I visit continue to pay extra attention to deal with the COVID environment and the Townlake Y definitely demonstrates that they care.
I love the fitness community that has been thoughtfully created by the Townlake staff. I'm never really tempted to go to an Equinox of Lifetime because I don't want to have to deal with the off putting fitness behavior that's a bit more popular in those gyms.
It's a clean place to work out. Everybody uses PPE and do their best to stop Covid-19 while exercising.
Management. Maintenance.
I love the reservation system for swimming and the online Zoom fitness classes. I also love my in-person visits.
I probably need to try more of the group activities, however I am happy in the weight rooms
I feel safe, and accepted, at the Town Lake YMCA. The teachers are professional, friendly, and extremely knowledgeable. All of the staff members are focused upon safety, cleanliness and the well-being of every person visiting the YMCA. The Town Lake YMCA is a true gift to our community.
I like a lot about the Y. You ask about programs and activities ... I don't participate in a lot of those but it seems like there are a lot and a good diversity. One thing that I love about the Y - at least the Town Lake branch - is how seriously they took, and continue to take, the coronavirus. The other is that I love the personnel. Everyone is very happy - happy to be working there it looks like - and friendly to patrons. People like Jude and Julie at the front desk, among menus others ... I just happen to know their names, make me feel like they are genuinely glad to see me.
I love how friendly the staff is! They are always willing to jump in and help with anything while having a smile on their face. I’ve felt safe throughout covid, with the measures out in place and overall cleanliness. It feels like a real community and I am always bragging about that! I recommend it often.
Great personnel..friendly and helpful!
Clean facility!!
I love lap swimming!
I’m not using the Y during the public health emergency, but I keep up my membership because I believe in the mission.
It is exactly my second home. its employees are all like my family members. Love you all YMCA staff and members.
Good choices of programs; good class leaders.
Group ex classes
Having moved to Austin during the pandemic, it was a breath of fresh air to find the welcoming staff, and wonderful facilities and programs offered at the Townlake YMCA.
Many thanks to Shaylin Collins who is an excellent personal trainer and I am so happy that I signed up twice a week for her to guide me on my new fitness journey!
I love outdoor spinning classes with Becky!
On a sad note--I'm really disappointed that Jude is no longer with us at the TownLake Y.
