Member Testimonials
YMCA is diverse and welcoming to all comers. The programs are varied by skill level. It is a non-judgmental environment which allows newcomers to take chances to stretch their abilities.
My first introduction to the YMCA was the 92nd Street Y in NYC when I was a teen. I was in the shower at that Y when word came that Bobby Kennedy had been murdered in Los Angeles. I lead a cross cultural group.of German students and GI's at the CVYM (YMCA) in Nurnberg, Germany for three years.
Excellent staff, especially the spinning class staff.
I've been going to the Town Lake Y since I was a young man. I've always enjoyed the facilities and they have improved each year. Now I have a family and feel fortunate I'm able to share such a wonderful place with them!
It’s a great place to work out in a peaceful and diverse environment where all kinds of people are accepted.
Enjoyed the Wednesday Aqua Fit class
Wonderful location. A place to work out and enjoy the atmosphere while visiting Austin.
I’ve been a Town Lake YMCA member since 1981. For years, I used the Y as my spot to start and end runs in the Town Lake area. I’ve also lifted free weights with varying intensity. The only class/program I’ve ever used is the Tuesday/Thursday “back” or stretch led by my longtime friend Barbara Jo. I began that in the spring of 2017.
The Y offers something for almost anybody. Any kind of fitness at any intensity.
But what I like most is that it is the only place I know in Austin where you can meet and be friends with Austinites of every imaginable kind. Over the years, I’ve had Y friends who were as diverse as a state Supreme Court justice and a bouncer at the Continental Club. We all get along. The camaraderie is genuine and often entertaining.
Both of our children have used the Y, my wife used to have a good walking friend there. It’s a place that helps families.
It also matters to me that the Y turns NO ONE away on the basis of need. Once I found out that I qualified for a veteran’s discount, I became a sustaining giver to help ensure the funds for those in need.
Thanks for all you do for Austin.

I've been attending Body Combat Express on Sunday mornings with Amy, and it's been fantastic. It's a wonderful way to start my day, and the energy in the room is palpable. And I've been amazed at the number of people I've run into who I already know. The Y really is an amazing community!

The YMCA personal trainer program at Townlake YMCA in Austin seems very friendly and accommodating. I am very pleased with my trainer, having switched from another gym to the Y.
I particularly like the family atmosphere of the Y with members of all ages having a great time.
