We love all the activities at the YMCA
Staff knowledgeable and helpful
The Hood County YMCA is truly the heart of the Granbury community! I absolutely love my Zumba classes with Vanessa and Julia—they bring so much energy and joy. The workout floor is always well-maintained, and I appreciate that there are plenty of machines available so I never have to wait.
What really sets this YMCA apart is the people and the sense of community. Staff members like Angela Gentry make such a difference through their warmth and dedication, and the wide range of programs is incredible. From the cancer survivor program, SilverSneakers, and middle school program to Parents’ Night Out, Cook Children’s partnerships, Lunch and Learns, and so much more—the YMCA goes above and beyond to serve every part of our community.
Granbury is lucky to have such a vibrant and welcoming YMCA!
Gym is fantastic. Plenty of machines, including some my full-time gym doesn't have
Body pump instructor was great!! The location is so clean. Would recommend
There is a wide array of activities and programs available. I participate as time and schedule allow. My favorites are the swimming pool and cycling classes. Not only are these great exercises but also affords the opportunity to network among the other members. As relationships develop, we hold each other accountable. Paul, the executive director, is genuine in his interaction with the members. He is also a great encourager and accountability sounding board. Doesn’t seem as if anything ever gets under his skin. Definitely a great leader. The trainers are another asset at the downtown Y. Both Megan and Kevin are always upbeat and personable. They aren’t always about the money either. If they see something worth mentioning, they are quick to offer pointers. Carl, the morning staff member and overall YMCA staff guru, is a very bright spot at the club. Quick with a smile and a hearty greeting, he is sure to make anyone feel welcomed and valued. Can’t say enough about the Amon G. Carter. Of course there may be an occasional bump in the road, but whatever it is has been resolved without anyone feeling lesser than. Keep up the great work!

Excellent facility and staff!!
The YMCA is coming along and has been steadily improving. There were some quite severe performance issues. Young employees at the front desk were not properly trained. The restrooms were not being cleaned adequately. Garbage was overflowing out front to greet members as they entered. Equipment needed tending. Example: replacing torn/damaged bike seat.
This summer I have observed improvement in all these areas.
Keep up the good work!!! Bedford has this beautiful facility that should be a pride of the community.
