Indoor
Friendly and relaxed atmosphere and classes for all levels of athletic abilities geared towards all age groups.
I like that the Ymca is community oriented.
This is my favorite location in Austin!!!! The staff is friendly and the facility it AWESOME :)
Spin, swimming ang yoga. Wish you would keep at least 4 Look pedal bikes. Several instructors use those shoes and there aren’t enough left for a full class this fall.
My wife and I have really enjoyed the Seniors Fitness class over the past three years. I'm certain the classes have retreaded our tire of life!
Everyone is always very friendly. I like to see people who are relaxing and having coffee as well as people working out. I only take spin classes, but they have all been great.
I like the variety of exercise classes offered and that there are many scheduled at night. A lot of gyms will have their last class at 6pm which I could never make due to work, so the later classes are a huge plus.
Love the variety of classes, the cardio and weight equipment, the friendliness of the staff and the location! Essentially I love everything about the Town Lake YMCA!!
Everyone is very friendly and helpful. I love the variety of classes and equipment available.
There is a variety of programs and activities for everybody and I like how the instructors and staff are so friendly and welcoming.
I am 78 years old and new to the YMCA. I hadn't been in a gym setting since I was in my 20s. I have so far been very impressed with the facilities, the equipment and the personnel at Town Lake YMCA. Ryan McKernan, the personal trainer, is working with me on exercises which were prescribed by my orthopedist for arthritis. I was very skeptical in the beginning that these exercises would help but have become a convert in just four weeks. I am already seeing real improvement with Ryan's help and have been convinced that with work on my part the improvement will continue. Highest recommendation so far!

Variety, cost
I'm really enjoying have Ronica as my personal trainer. She has helped me increase core strength, stamina and balance so much! I look forward to my training sessions.
The central Austin location on the lake is well maintained, very convenient to my home and has plenty of parking. Staff are very helpful and friendly.
Thanks for great services!
My son has been able to take personal training as part of his ongoing recovery from a brain injury which left him weak on one side. His trainer, Ryan has been great to work with. First name removed was very physically active before his injury, so this training has been very motivated to helping First name removed feel more like his own self. Ryan has been very accommodating and understanding of First name removed's situation. He is fun and upbeat which is also a plus. The Y has also been great to work with in regard to billing.
Great trainer that was able to accomodate my 13 year olds needs and also really inspire him on the importance of overall wellness.
Vernon!!!
The variety
I love your staff! All of them. I think Jude is a true treasure, my personal trainer Jared was awesome, Zumba with Crystal and Phil (really all of them), yoga (all), body pump, the people who greet members, the fun staff at Childwatch. The environment is one of community and growth. I love the Y!
Loved Aleks as my personal trainer - super positive and knowledgeable!
I will always be grateful for the time I was able to spend with Ryan McK. I had been lifting weights for about nine years and over the last few years I kept getting hurt and/or having pain. He showed me the correct moves and I have been doing great since. I learned so much about fitness from him and his steadfast support and encouragement was absolutely priceless. He (and Gerry too!) are so positive and encouraging. I really appreciate that.
I am still learning about what's available
I just said I would recommend your personal training program to friends, and have done so. I also complement your facilities, but they could be better maintained.
Offered throughout the day.
I like the friendliness of the staff. I appreciate being greeted by staff when I enter and staff saying good-bye. The energy is very positive in the lobby area given the number of people present doing various activities, such as drinking coffee, visiting with friends, reading the newspaper, checking phone, etc. also, I appreciate the child watch services. Staff are attentive to the children and long-term users of child watch have told me good things about the service. The equipment is good and easy to use. I like the lighter free weights that are close to the child watch area, too.
dane classes!
the cycling class had plenty of bikes, nice AC & Fans, and really great instructor!!! she was very engaged and inspiring.
Very flexible, rates are reasonable, but most importantly the people are excellent.
