Friendly, supportive, lots of smiles, seems like there's something for everyone.
LOVE GOLDEN ZUMBA!! Need another class of it!!
I like the childcare hours for my schedule. They start early eonough in the morning and work for our Saturday workouts too. The staff are very kind and professional with the kids.
My trainer is fantastic; facility hours are convenient; everything is well managed and clean. Good parking, too!
The warm training pool is awesome. the proximity of the hot tub makes it even better. The fact that the WARM training pool is virtually uninterrupted from open swim is the best and most fair idea. My kids love swimming and the fact that we can go swimming year round is worth the monthly fee.
Amazing staff, great classes, community feel and free coffee. What could be better? MWF yoga with Scott is top notch.
The groups exercise class for older adults
Swim lessons
frindly staff
Very accomodating and always geared towards improvement
Good weight room and other exercise areas (although you could use one more flat bench). Good aerobics equipment. Proximity to the Lake and its trail. Hours are good.
I have attended only one program at the Townlake YMCA since I joined in 1981, and that is Barbara Jo’s Back Care Class. It’s wonderful.
But OH, BOY, does the Townlake YMCA need a full-time, professional facilities manager. Broken equipment, failed shower heads, toilets that don’t flush, etc. Sorry, I’m a broken record on that topic. It’s a priceless property with a lot of systems and equipments that are used by lots of people. It needs steady and alert attention.
Location and facility
The equipment, the many classes, the pools, the special events, the friendly community.
There's a good selection of classes and the access to them (whether free or for a small fee) is reasonable.
The #1 thing I love about the Y is the community. I have never enjoyed group exercise until now. The community at the Y is just amazing. It feels as if we all genuinely care about our fellow exercisers!
The classes are great and the instructors are amazing. I am also always singing the praises of the Child Watch. Everyone who works in there is just wonderful. I have never once had even a remote hint of a bad experience. The programs they offer the children (arts & crafts, etc) are really great. Both of my children (ages 3 and 7) enjoy coming to the Y. All of the staff is just so friendly and always accommodating if a child is having a tough time.
Everything
From kids activities to teaching adults how to swim and keep general public healthy
God bleed YMCA
If I win lottery I donate a lot to you.
Thank you for helping our family

The Town Lake YMCA is simply a wonderful place to exercise. I've lived in Austin almost 7 years and they are constantly upgrading, refurbishing the entire site. Despite being a very popular spot, there are always lots of available equipment and machines to use. Kudos for their contributions to the community.
Affordable. Great Classes. It feels like a family.
They're good
THERE'S ALWAYS SOMETHING FUN AND HEALTHY TO DO. I RECENTLY JOINED A NEW ZUMBA CLASS FOR SENIORS, FOR EXAMPLE. SO MUCH FUN! FOR MANY YEARS I,VE BEEN PART OF THE MWF SENIOR FITNESS CLASS. I DROP OUT FOR PERIODS AND WHEN I COME BACK THERE'S USUALLY A TEACHER I HAVEN'T HAD BUT INEVITABLY IT'S SOMEONE I LEARN WITH AND ENJOY. AND I RECONNECT WITH OLD FRIENDS. THAT'S ONE OF THE BEST THINGS ABOUT THE Y. YOU WILL MAKE NEW FRIENDS. OFTENTIMES A SMALL GROUP OF US GATHER ROUND A TABLE FOR COFFEE OR TEA AND CATCH UP WITH EACH OTHER'S NEWS OR JUST TALK ABOUT ALL KINDS OF INTERESTING THINGS. JUST LISTENING TO WHATEVER ENTERTAINMENT IS GOING ON IS A GREAT PLEASURE - IT MAY BE A SINGING GROUP OR A PIANIST OR WHATEVER. SINCE THE RECENT MAKEOVER OF OUR Y WE ARE LUCKY TO BE ABLE TO PURSUE OUR PASSIONS IN BEAUTIFUL LIGHT FILLED SPACES ON STATE OF THE ART EQUIPMENT. THE ARCHITECTURE AND FURNISHINGS ARE MODERN AND INSPIRING. COME AND VISIT!!!
variety of equipment, the people, and the hot tub
My doctor told me I should take water aerobics for health reasons. So the first place I thought of was the Y. I started out doing water aerobics 5 days a week. I now do twice a week. I like the instructors for those two classes (Sandy and Q). They are are always trying to improve their water aerobics classes. They also make the classes fun. They make me feel I can do anything and they are more like friends than instructors.
I also loved the kayaking class taught by Julie. Julie kept telling me I could do it so I finally decided to see about it. Julie was with me every step of the way and I had so much fun kayaking that I am really looking forward to when the weather gets warmer so I can go kayaking again.
All the instructors I have had are professional, friendly and I feel like they are close friends.
Variety and Teachers!
I like that I can try different classes, there are no limits on the class size or start/stop dates, many offerings for older people on weekdays, instructors are great, people are friendly and welcoming.

Elizabeth Doss yogalates and ball yoga classes
Need to easy place to recharge phones and PDA's...small or large lockers with USB plug-in...So we can easily use YMCA app for scheduling info.
Classes!
I think that the Y is an amazing organization that provides a place for everyone of all financial backgrounds to have a place to excercise, swim, basketball, etc. Because excercise is so important!
