The pool
The teachers.
Buddy training with Ron, love the opportunity for children in the GO program.
Love the training I’m getting from Ron. Has certainly helped me over the past 15 months.
Thank you for your facility rental. Our participants loved the facility and were only disappointed we didn't tell them to bring a bathing suit for after the meeting. :)
The mom and me swim lessons were perfect for my 1 and a half year old. They helped build her confidence in the water and it was great bonding time. My only suggestion is have “toddler time” in the mornings throughout the week and less loud music at your pool locations. Music is fine, but it’s super loud. I also love swimming laps there!
The parent/child swimming lessons have been great! It provides enough structure and guidance to help your child be familiar with the water but also flexible to work on a different skill if your child is having a hard time that day.
Good facility and great people who run it
Kids are kept busy and outdoors most days. My kids have enjoyed it and learned some new things like canoeing.
Emma absolutely adored the staff there. They were all very kind with open arms. She truly enjoyed her summer there! Thank you! -Sara
Toddler time is amazing and peaceful.
My only recommendation is not have music BLASTING during the family swim. I don’t mind some music but I left with a headache and it is bothersome to littles.
Same problem at the Westside location. Music is fine but it doesn’t HAVE to be BLASTING to where you can’t hear the person next to you.
The variety
The perfect venue for our event. Beautiful and affordable!
Thank you.
I like that I’m able to enjoy a workout and with it being the summer months, my kids don’t get the social interaction from other kids that they would from being in school, so I like to bring them here to be around other kiddos.
Inclusive -- all ages, all income levels, embraces the entire Owasso community
My kids love play and learn. I like that there are various activities for each age range.
Very friendly and kind swim instructors. They were patient and willing to work with my son until he warmed up to them and enjoyed swim lessons.
I enjoy the gym.
Get new lighting in the gym. I play pickleball and the lighting is terrible. Not sure why you remodel all of the YMCA but don't update the poor lighting in the gym.
My dad joined the Thornton Y as a charter member back in the mid 60's, and I have been a member ever since. I was a Y youth basketball and baseball coach when my kids were young, and actually led a 'spin class' at the downtown Tulsa Y many years ago.
Been coming to the Tandy Y during the lunch hour for the past 15 years or more, and it has been my 'recess time' during the week for so long that I can't remember when.
The Y is such a great place for family activities, as well as personal time.

I like that this Y is just around the corner from where I live. I’m not interested in classes, so this one fits the bill for me. I only wish it were open on Sundays.
The new treadmills are nice.
Weight room and all the different exercise classes!
For me, the spin class is great. (Unless the program on the screen isn’t working. I can’t do the class without something to see on the screen. It keeps my sanity!) The culture of the groups is great.
Also, the pickleball group is great. The gym lighting isn’t ideal for play, but the people make it great.
There are a variety of activities for all ages and walks of life. The people are friendly and welcoming. The staff is exceptional.
The hours, the lower body machines are dual exercises so workouts are time efficient. Clean locker rooms. Parking is convenient. Great view of athletic facilities & activities.
8 & 12lb dumbells in stretching room would be a good addition.
The facilities are great!
The time if day for the class I take.
Everything
I like the cleanliness of the pools and safety provided from the life guards. Felt comfortable bring my kids here
