Member Testimonials
The program is much more relaxed than some of the super competitive swim teams in Austin. It still has discipline and structure , but the coaches do a great job of making it a fun workout for all the kids!
The swim team coach Chris is wonderful! Both of my kids want to stay because of him and I can do this because of the affordability of the program.
I have really enjoyed the Pilates and yoga classes.
diversity
I like the swimming pool, the jacuzzi, the steam room, and the exercise room. The locker & changing facilities are also fine for me. The parking is OK, and so far it has not been too crowded.
I LOVE the group classes. YMCA offers a great selection of classes and all the instructors are top notched!
Really nice downtown facility.
I like that the Y is inclusive of all peoples. I also enjoy body pump and that there are lots of machines :)
I love the YMCA and I will recommend it to any family
Really great classes!
I love that fitness classes are included in my monthly membership fee. I also like the general atmosphere of the YMCA. It feels more like a community center than a gym, and everyone there is there to be healthy. There isn't any body shaming or aspirational perfectionism in the rhetoric of classes, which is refreshing. Thank you for creating a healthy, no nonsense environment!
Great classes and class availability! I’ve already recommended the pump and spin classes to many of my friends.
Variety and friendliness
You employ master John So for qi gong classes!:)
Love the pool & lots of classes. Wish you'd bring back STRONG at 6am Wed & Fri
Our swim coach (Coach Willie) was great with the babies. He was calm and encouraging and fun.
The LiveStrong Program has been another game changer for my recovery after breast cancer. Our group has bonded and I always leave with new energy and strength to keep going with my life. Masariki very patiently help me register. Elizabeth and James are amazing with their guidance, compassion and attitude. Starting with front desk people, janitorial staff and all staff I have encountered have smiled and given me individual attention when needed. There is such a good vibe at Townlake Y. I recommend this program to other cancer patients all the time. Keep up the great work!
All inclusive and there’s something for all age groups!
Fitness & team spirit. A sense of community & purpose.
The staff and flexibility of classes. Just wish there was a few more offered since they fill up fast.
The quantity and quality are very high!
The swim instructor (Ms Emma) has been so patient and kind to our daughter during her swim lessons!
Great swimming lessons for little ones!
Indoor pool with kids - we had a great time. The pools are comfortable and clean. Lifeguards are attentive and friendly. We posted several pics and everyone wanted to be where we were! Thanks YMCA
Anna is a great instructor and made it fun for my kid!
Finally offering a place to play Pickleball
I like your staff- helpful, supportive, friendly. Approachable management- listening and caring- addresses needs and suggestions. Your adult and baby indoor pools- perfect for freezing winter and scorching summer. You have steam AND sauna. Plenty of locker room space & choices. Beautiful weight room- private, downstairs. Met some folks there years ago who catapulted me into my writing career, just by sharing during a Holiday Pot Luck. Opportunities to contribute- wrapping Christmas presents for Blue Santa, Flip-Flop shoe drive etc. Also have a donation bin at the end of the parking lot- easy to bless others while cleaning out your closet. Beautiful views, Town lake, flowers galore, right on the Hike & Bike Trail. Good handicapped parking, and inclusion. Women only pool access (men have their time slot, too) on Sunday mornings, addressing personal and religious needs, privacy. Shows the true meaning of the "C" in YMCA. I go 3 times a week- meets my physical and social needs, plus there's local art on the wall! Been going for decades- So much to love! Ailana Larson
The basketball court
