Member Testimonials
There's such a variety of activities, classes and programs. The instructors are all so helpful and friendly, too.
I mainly use the pool but have also used the racquetball courts. It’s a well run facility.
I like the dance classes. I wish there were early morning dance classes (Zumba, Nightclub Cardio) around 6:00 or 7:00 to do before work. They are all in the evening.
Love my Zumba class with Mary H.! Also enjoy yoga, Body Pump, indoor track, workout equipment. I like the positivity of the staff and diversity of the patrons.
Group classes . Michelle ( pump and sprint ad well as combat instructor is great ) she also teaches in Trotter . Amber and Chris , too . KELLY in night club cardio fantastic ! I just started coming in cause I work in Downtown:).
Love the group classes & variety
The YMCA Tellepsen Summer Camp program has been fun for our kid and it offers the flexibility we need. Being able to pick him up without getting out of the car is great. He loves the field trips, made many friends, and most importantly he stayed active throughout the summer.
just used the gym but very nice facility
Workout classes
Amazing instructors
Everything that’s available for seniors, AOA.
I love the diversity that I see every time I walk in a group class, in age, race, nationality. There is no one culture, no one age group. I don’t feel intimidated, the Y is a gym I feel safe in, but it doesn’t even feel like a gym, more like a community.
There are a ton of classes throughout the day to work with my schedule. The equipment is always organized and in good shape. Instructors are energetic, friendly, and encouraging. I especially love Body Pump because they're always changing the routines so you don't get bored!
Excellent staff
A lot of different activities, clean locker rooms, a lot of weight training stations
I like the weight room.
diverse range of exercise classes and diverse membership. listening & helpful staff.
I love the classes the YMCA offers! All the instructors are great and very motivating.
Mona, the water aerobics teacher is the best. She knows what she’s doing.
I also appreciate the friendly, helpful staff.
Great classes and facilities.
I like the les mils programs - body attack and body pump. Wish we could get a body step class going as well!
Great job!
Keep helping poor people experience a clean , healthy place to grow.
Thanks
I like the gym equipment, the size of the facility, the steam and sauna rooms. I haven't used the pool yet. The locker room (men's) is a good size and is clean. The showers have warm water and are kept clean. The two rows of showers is efficient and functional - thumbs up! I LOVE that towels are provided. That is a big plus for me. I also like the deli on the main floor. Their Korean tacos are awesome!
I already recommend Tellepsen YMCA to coworkers downtown!!!
Everything friendly people
Security
Machines
Pools
Towel service and more
Great teachers (Zumba (Mary)), encouraging, helpful
Workout center is very good. Machines were readily available
Great classes, clean facility and nice people. Parking is frequently a pain, but I like everything else.
The variety of classes. The quality of instructors.
Ladies dressing room, especially the floor and benches, need to be scrubbed and then maintained. There's always dust and dirt in the corners. When I undress and dress, I stand on a towel because the floor is so dirty.
Friendliness, cleanliness, variety , driving convenience. and the sauna. But P-L-E-A-S-E. repair or replace that scale in the men's locker that's not functioned properly for months now. It's plain amazing how it just sits there not working and no one does anything about it.
J. K. (Ken) Last name removed (YMCAer at five Y's in four states -- and Tellepsen's the best ever.)
The Tellepsen Y is clean and friendly, the equipment is up to date, and my personal trainer - Art Sherry - is great!

I love all the amenities Tellepsen has to offer and the cafe. The body pump class and its' availability is my favorite!
