Member Testimonials
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!
Programs and activities are great! Updates on cancellations are well communicated. Safety has been shown to be a priority during this pandemic.
I like that the Y cares about the prevention of the spread of COVID-19, unlike some other gyms.
Great swim coach for Masters groups. Satisfying workout recordings.
Motionvibe is a helpful program. Lifeguards have been following covid protocol
Best community and staff on the planet!
Weekend yoga classes
I love the friendliness of the workers who greet every member as they walk through the door!
Instructor Elena is amazing!!!
I absolutely love the Y at townlake. I moved to Dallas today therefore will miss the Y @ townlake so much. The class choices and times are amazing. Elena is the most amazing teacher and hardest worker I know. I will miss Elena very much as she is so approachable and open to feedback. She treats everyone with the utmost respect, I cannot say enough good things about this lady!
Amy and Barbara’s classes are also really great which I will also miss. Good luck to you all
Pickleball absolutely love it!
The pool is clean and the staff are always friendly!
I like the cardio on the main floor but some of the bicycles tv's aren't working and haven't been for months so I don't use them. the tv's just make the work out go faster for me since I don't want my phone all the time. I also wish people would NOT talk on the phone while working out or pretending to be working out; text is fine but when I ask them to text I get push back which is negative energy for me.
The free weights.
Also, it would be great if you guys could bring the steam room back on line.
Don't know about the programs, activities or even seen the entire place.
variety of classes and frequency, the instructors are awesome!
