Member Testimonials
The indoor walking track
What's not to love about the downtown Y? Great classes, beautiful facility, nice equipment, the new parking system is great. I've been a member for about 10 years, I cannot imagine my life without the Tellepsen YMCA
I am continuously amazed by the caliber of classes offered at the Y. Anywhere else you'd pay $$$ for these classes, but at the Y, they come free with our membership! Every instructor I've ever taken a class with has blown me away and has exceeded my expectations. Did I mention that the entire facility is gorgeous? Pristine? A true no-judgement zone. Oh and shout-out to every single person working the front desks! Always with genuine smiles and good energy. I could go on and on! Since going here, I've convinced 2 of my friends to get memberships.
My name is Evaristo Sorola
I'm in a will share and have been going primarily to the pool. The people there have been super helpful. They always help me get into the pool and out of it because I normally go to smaller pool. I cannot emphasize how great all these guys and ladies have been a would highly recommend the YMCA did anybody. The other person that I would like to mention is Sebastian.
Anytime I've asked them to please help me with my backpack or putting something and back of my share he's always been very helpful. He is very polite and very courteous and very nice to everyone. In fact everyone has been extremely has minimal and I always feel extremely good when I depart. Thank you sincerely
The staff are so helpful, courteous, caring and supportive.
wide range of classes, etc for all levels
however - not happy with the womens workout area being totally closed and not being able to use two or three times a week I think you could have kept some days and hours for women to continue to use PLEASE CONSIDER
I like the number of machines in the center, the steam rooms, and the whirlpool. The locker rooms are clean and have plenty of showers and lockers.
Sauna & Steam Room
Very well fun and friendly staff!
Really enjoy your Silver Sneakers and Golden Zumba classes. Have met lots of newfriends and enjoy staying active. Enjoy the instructors and their subs. I find that when we have subs the workout often stretches and moves different muscle groups. It's good for us.
Variety of fitness classes for all types of exercises available to folks of all fitness levels, ages, and needs.
Swimming pool
Everything it’s great help me to better my health
Gym is great
The employees are friendly the facilities are excellent
Gr8 very thing
I also go to the weekly Y and the Texans Y and have bragged up some of your yoga classes to yoga friends at both of the other YMCAs
I like the CORE & BODY COMBAT classes and the WOMEN'S CENTER.
I really think the Women's Center is a great place for more private exercises.
I like the Les Mis BODY COMBAT class because you can learn in a safe way, mix martial arts.
Great equipment and clean facilities. Has lot of specialty training equipment you sometimes find only and crossfit gyms. Imagine a college recreational Center but for the community
Great equipment at the gym! It would be great to have a GHD bench (glute-hamstring developer)
The most powerful encouragement that offered in every department. The environment is full of energy and excitement.
I enjoy swimming at the pool and use the well-equipped weight/exercise room. The whole staff at the Y is friendly and kind.
Michelle Gerond is your best Wellness teacher. Her classes are what people past 65 need. She is now teaching only 2 classes and the Friday teacher is very hard to hear and follow and certainly no sub for Silver Slippers.
Her class is so full that many cannot register in time making the whole experience very unfulfilling. I am considering going elsewhere

The Silver Sneakers classes
Everything
I don’t actually participate in the classes etc, but I love the track when it’s 100 degrees, raining, or freezing outside and I can still work at getting my 10K steps in! I also like the workout room. I use 9 of the machines twice a week to try to keep my muscle tone (I am 82 next month!)
I just use the weight room on the 4th floor
Variety of classes available for all fitness levels.
I use the gym; it is always clean and all the equipment works. The staff at the front deseos the best.
