Member Testimonials
The gym and the basketball gym.
Best YMCA in Austin
TownLake YMCA is a gym and also a great community of people. The staff is very friendly and helpful. I take group classes, and the people I have met in the classes are very friendly. The Y keeps me mentally and physically healthy.

Variety of programs.
Good amount and types of equipment.
Convenient hours.
Available for all ages and makes you feel welcome.
Great well-organized facility, clean, new modern equipment, and friendly helpful staff. Wonderful trainers, special call out and thanks to Danielle.
I have a trainer there - Daniel. And he is the best! I was reluctant to try the machines myself because I wanted to do it properly and avoid any injury. Also, wanted a workout that made sense for my age and my body type. He has made all the difference . . .
Also, the town lake location is really nice, close to downtown trails around the lake as well.
The array and condition of the equipment was superb but I mostly liked it because I have a lot of respect for Bach Vu, the fitness director, with whom I had a couple of terrific conversations. He’s really smart!
Use pool right now love it lifeguard are great
I LOVE the Sunday morning hours for women. Such a different experience. Quieter and more efficient. No more bros banging weights or lounging at weight machines while staring at their phones or groups of teenagers monopolizing the machines. Please continue the women-only hours.
The Y reflects the diversity of America and promotes cooperation and camaraderie.
Wide range of classes and equipment, nice facilities; broad offerings for seniors in particular.

The YMCA Community is fantastic and I enjoy the sports programming especially Volleyball.
They have excellent swimming instructors.
Alot of gym equipment, fairly close to home.
Most of the machines usually work. (sometimes)
What I most enjoy and appreciate is that there are times of the day that I can go to one of the three "dance rooms" (wooden floors) to do my own workouts. My favorite room is the dance room upstairs with the mirrors and ballet barre. I am a senior citizen with a Master's Degree in Health and Physical Education. I love to choreograph my own modern dances as well as do floor exercises. When no classes are being held in these rooms, it is peaceful and meditative. I can improve my outlook on life while I focus on my dance moves. I leave happy and peaceful.
I realize that some clients like classes with loud music and a coach using a microphone to call out moves, but I find that abrasive and the decibels are not healthy to maintain good hearing. Please continue to offer open times in all areas of the facility where clients can play on the basketball courts, pool, dance rooms, and weight room. I also appreciate very much that as a client I am not bombarded by constant piped in music that we all must listen to even if we do not like it, like some other facilities do.
I also like the fact that I can go to the Town Lake facility, and go through the under bridge to walk at town lake for a mile, and then come back to the facility to continue other activities. Sometimes I do light dumb bell weights, too. The front desk personnel are exceptionally welcoming and I notice that they are helpful to everyone who has questions. The facility is clean and the other clients are friendly.
I am very impressed that your facility and Goodwill have a program that offers work experiences for workers who can learn skills.
I drive from Burnet Road at HWY 183 to enjoy the opportunity to work in the quiet spaces of Townlake dance rooms. I do NOT play music because I don't need it and don't want to intrude on someone else's experience if we are sharing those spaces. As long as Townlake YMCA continues to offer this "Open Dance Room Time" to clients, I will continue to come. Thank you for an exceptional experience.
