Member Testimonials
Friendly staff!
The instructor was fabulous! The pool was nice and warm, perfect for getting in!
I like that the classes are included in the monthly membership.
The yoga instructors!
The receptionists!
Classes are generally small and follow a good progression of skills.
Emma is very attentive and patient with my baby. Her activities are exciting and interactive.
I love that the YMCA staff greet me when I arrive and say goodbye when I leave.
I love that you hire the mentally and physically challenged.
I love how clean everything is. It’s a top notch facility.
The covered pool is so great for my hubby who is susceptible to skin cancers. The people who work there are the friendliest, most welcoming people, and always with smiling faces. Feels like home to me. Way to go Townlake YMCA💕😁😁😁👍👍👍👍
A good variety of classes. I appreciate the extended hours in the evening, added since the easing of of pandemic restrictions. It’s always nice to be greeted by the staff when checking in. This practice is not the case at the Southwest YMCA, but should be.
There is lots of excellent equipment available to all members. The Y's decision to move many classes outside during Covid was an excellent one that served/serves the community well. I do wish the roof of the area above the outdoor cycling area would be finished, since the canopy would be good during rain.
The staff is SO FRIENDLY! That is so encouraging.
I like the programs to make sure children are safe in the water, and I think the pool is put to excellent use with plenty of times for lap swimming as well as aqua exercise programs.
I REALLY appreciate that the Y accepts the "Silver Sneakers" membership and I am glad to see people of all ages using the facilities.
Child watch is the best!!! It makes working out possible as a parent. The longer the Child Watch available hours, the better. :)
Swimming, pickle ball, yoga, rowing machine, other workouts
Kids swim team and group classes
Swimming exercise classes, cleanliness, and availability of sanitizing bottles and paper to wipe down equipment.
Upon coming back to town I noticed this week that there is a container on the East End of the Parking lot near Lamar. That container has Graffiti all over it and looks really bad. It may have had it when it came, but the danger is that if left, the vandals will probably decide its safe to put graffiti on other surfaces, maybe the YMCA building itself.
I would appreciate if you would get that graffiti cleaned off the container as it makes the area look unsafe if vandals are that brazen right next to where we park our cars. It makes it look unsafe to park where there are vandals operating, whether in fact, the graffiti was already on the container before it got there.
Thanks
I like that the pool is always available and the life guards are all super friendly and nice.
Everyone that teaches yoga is o good! Clean, friendly
Something for everyone
Elizabeth Doss' pilates classes and all the new gentle yoga classes. Great teachers. I like the reservation system so the classes aren't so crowded and you don't have to get there real early to make sure you get a place.
Friendly people at the check in. Jude is doing a great job too.
Class Diversity / leadership / Staff / Facilities / People Friendly / Costs / Location ...!

I like the swimming pool. I really enjoyed the Core class that Becky Wells taught. Has the class been canceled for good?
Yoga is at a time that I don't have to fight traffic to get there
I love that I can drop my kids and childcare and run around the lake! Outdoor running brings me such joy, you have no idea how much of a game changer this is for a stay-at-home-mom of young kids this is!
The ease of everything and how it’s open.
There is such a variety. There are classes that you count on being there almost anywhere, and others that are the newest take in fitness. The teachers are usually very good, and our classmates turn into long-time friends.
Exception yoga teachers. Love body pump!
I love the facilities and especially the possibility to use the pool.
Lots of different options.
Friendly staff, wonderful amenities, great instructors and classes too.
Love the dance program, very good teachers. Also enjoy the numerous Body Pump classes you have.
I like water exercise classes (shout out to Q, Juan, and Leslie!) I like seeing the classes in the outdoor exercise area and hope to take a cycling class sometime or an exercise class there. Those teachers look excellent too!
