Outdoor zumba with Carlie!
Just doing weights and cardio
As wearing a mask it’s impossible to do anything else.
Outdoor activities, different group classes, nice teachers
I like that you are in my neighborhood. I like that everyone is friendly and helpful and that the facilities seem! clean. I like your focus on disabled or underserved members of the community. Love the pool
Swimming, senior exercise, fitness equipment
Carlie's zumba class is my lifeline. Would love to have it back tuesday as well.
I love the equipment and the staff is so friendly! It feels good to here someone you do not know, reference you by your first name.
i like yo swim
I love the Aquatics Exercise options due to hip issues. It's the only way I am able to exercise. The instructors are great and I am happy the late class is available again at Town Lake.
I am very pleased that we are able to participate in spinning classes outdoors at the TownLake YMCA. We feel safe, and it is wonderful to be outdoors feeling the breeze and watching the birds fly overhead. Thanks so much to Jude and Becky for making these classes possible!
I'm excited to start back next week with personal training with James!!!
I appreciate the time and thought that went into adjusting to Covid in establishing a safe environment. I'm impressed that the Y is committed to this to the point of having to part way with the few members who don't accept the safety policies. Kudos for management for standing up to protect their members and staff.
For me, Townlake Y has always been a welcoming and accepting community and feels very "Austin".
Nice gym at a good price and all the staff are very nice.
Would like to see Quigong come back with Lisa at townlake........outdoors
Also, would like second class of Tai Chi outdoor with Yayoi
I would like deep stretch yoga to be included in group classes.
COVID safe environment!
The staff is very helpful
The life guards
I love the atmosphere I feel welcome as I walk into the door. The atmosphere is one of safety and family friendly - not objectification. I love the energy. The staff are always helpful and i like the massive choice of equiptment. The ymca is open and available all around the country which is why i origioanly joined cos i travel and camp. But I remain with ymca because it is not egoic but i feel has it's clientels best interests at heart. WIll always love the ymca - they are good peeps! (I have been with the most expensive gyms in london new york and where i live in Austin and I never felt welcome or at home there) i have always returned to ymca.
Open to all...
We are very excited that kids programming is returning! We have missed the feeling of being connected to our community through our membership with Townlake YMCA.
You have a very good weight room, and plenty of cardio equipment as well. Location by the hike and bike trail is also an asset.
Not now
I appreciate being able to book the lap-lane swimming. However, the 5 am sign-up time favors the early birds--and I am not one of those. Wonder what kind of process the powers-that-be used to determine this method; how many types of (so-called) fair systems did Y folks pay attention to before arriving at this one?
Everything!
I love the location and the hours.
Outdoor group exercise
Community
Everyone is so welcoming and warm. It just feels like home. Body pump is my absolute favorite class. Just the environment, I would never go to another gym. Its not just a gym, it really is like a community filled with friends and family
EVERY THING IS VERY GOOD

Spin class is outside, yay!
