Member Testimonials
Love the water classes. Wish they were available every morning about 10:30.
Variety and great hours!
Easy to find out about.
The yoga is great!
TAi chi is brilliant!
I just use the weight room, and sometimes the cardio.
Everything! Great classes, machines to work out on and friendly people; seriously, what is not to like! The YMCA has very inclusive programs and classes that make working out a joy. The teachers are also knowledgeable and friendly. After your workout, you can recover in the lounge with free coffee and socialize with new friends. All in all, a wonderful place to be!
Friendly staff and clean facilities.
Clean facility, friendly employees
The pool and steam room have allowed me to recover from past workouts and minor injuries
I like the variety of classes and the availability of equipment. The instructors are kind, friendly, helpful and cognizant of my abilities and age, especially Sandy, Vanessa and Scott.
I would like to suggest that the parking bays outside on the road be repainted. Some of the lines are very confusing and so people park badly which leads to a dirth of parking at times.
Yoga, Pilates, Steam room! The community that has been nurtured and is available for everyone is priceless. It motivates me to workout! I love my YMCA!
I was the first person to swim in the Town Lake pool when it opened-and was invited to be the first to swim my laps after the pool was refurbished-I LOVE the pool
Staff and patrons are extremely friendly. Great sense of community and belonging!
Good variety of programs. Relaxed attitude
They are at good times and have good teachers.
The variety
The schedule is great with many classes to chose from. So glad to see a cycle class added to the weekend as this was a big gap.
The elliptical machines that do not have an incline and the pool are the reasons we joined We have been delighted with the front desk staff and especially Cale and his help to make us feel welcome.
The consistently positive and helpful staff are outstanding!
Thank you for the downtown YMCA!
The equipment. Plenty of treadmills and other equipment to stay in shape - everything is clean as well.
Very inviting!!
Love the hours. The staff is always friendly, happy and helpful. I lived all over the country. I've never experienced a facility that both the steam and dry saunas function year round most Steam rooms are down 65% of the time.
Thanks for all you do
I LOVE HOW CLEAN THE GYM IS, FRIENDLY STAFF, AND AWESOME KIDDIE POOL AREA FOR MY LITTLE ONE
Instructors are all great. Yoga, Zumba classes are fun and useful.
Enjoy the Y experience
Variety, multiple times, good atmosphere
Great group exercise class offerings, especially yoga and Qigong. Good times and instructors.
Elizabeth Doss is the kindest, most respectful, most knowledgeable instructor I have ever met. She is a gem for the YMCA. Please do all you can to keep her there, and I will keep my membership there as well. I love the convenient location and for now, there seems to always be parking. It's filling up fast, though. Perhaps someone will need to monitor the lot pretty soon.
I love the variety of classes. Hope to try swimming soon. I'm very impressed that the Y gives a free membership to cancer survivors while they are taking the Livestrong class. Thank you!
Variety of types of exercise classes, diversity of individuals using the Y, friendly staff at front desk.
There are plenty of fitness classes to choose from!
I love the group classes, BodyPump, BodyCombat, and Zumba. Amy with BodyCombat and BodyPump is THE BEST! Ok, she ties with Lily for BodyPump, but my schedule doesn't allow me to see Lily. But Amy's "fight" and humor really works well.
Phil and Crystal are fabulous Zumba instructors.
I have one complaint with two BodyPump instructors, Michael at 6pm Tuesdays and especially Jocelyn 6pm Thursdays. They have the hardest time calling, and staying on beat. It's very distracting and since I know what the counts are supposed to be and I have rhythm, I end up looking out of place when really they are calling wrong and most students are just following them. It really turns me off from going to their classes. I've skipped dozens of times because I'm just not up to the bad calls. They are also the two instructors who talk in between songs way too much. The flow of their classes really needs to be better.
Range of Motion class!
