Member Testimonials
All ages, wide variety
All yoga instructors have been great
I mainly work out at the Y, using the weight machines downstairs and/or the treadmills upstairs, about three times a week. But I also occasionally like to sit in the lobby upstairs while reading the newspaper before working out. I especially enjoy the Friday morning singers and musicians in the lobby. But the best aspect of the Y in my view is the always-friendly atmosphere among the very diverse membership.
The community of friends and families. We are all trying to stay healthy and the Townlake Y I believe tries to work with all ages.
So many different activities to choose from.
Very friendly people and staff.
Zumba is my favorite.
Weight machines are excellent, morning basketball group is great
Pick up full court basketball
I have been a member for years but just started taking spin classes 2 years ago. The teachers, especially Tony, Genevieve and Becca are so positive. I get a great workout and it’s fun! They foster a sense of community.
I use the cardio equipment and weight room regularly. The equipment is great. I've also taken the Body Pump class at 12pm on Fridays - great class!
Great yoga classes. Would like to have more yoga options on Fridays and the weekends at the Town Lake location.
I like the wide variety of classes that are offered for free as a member. I also like the programs that are offered, but some are a bit pricey. With two programs and my membership, I’m paying $180 per month, which is a lot for me.
The people and how much they care.
The youth programs are well organized.
wide range of options
Easy to get into classes like water yoga and regular yoga and great instructors
The Y is an excellent facility and the staff are always helpful and friendly.

Awesome!
I believe that the presence of YMCA is a vital part of how well Austin is represented for those who are visiting family members or trying to re-locate to the Austin area. Vital, inclusive atmosphere at the front and throughout the facility are something we base to determine whether to re-visit and I believe that YMCA presents these aspects well.

Great staff!
I like the various weight and exercise rooms, and I very much like the pool. Also, the staff is very friendly and welcoming.
Actually, I just use the facility. Change to running gear, jog on Townlake. Stretch and shower downstairs afterwards. Facility is nice, location is extremely convenient, staff are always pleasant.
lots of options, friendly staff, can't beat child care for a busy working mom
I'd love more kid gymnastics or dance offerings at town lake though :)
There is always something to do at the YMCA! I can walk in literally any time and choose something that will get me moving. The staff are friendly and always available, too!
Townlake Y has excellent yoga teachers & offers a range of yoga classes that accommodate varied abilities & preferences, thru out most of the day!

I like that you offer 30min classes
