Everything
I love the Y at Tellepsen! I enjoy body pump with Sasha and Spin classes with John Michael! I also love the pool! Great Y! Everyone is so welcoming and friendly!
Activities and exercise programs are geared for all ages. I go to the silver sneakers class for 55+ and it includes stretching, balance, aerobics, strengthening, coordination, AND it’s fun
Love all your programs. great instructors. My kids love it.
Best pool in any Houston YMCA! I am glad you offer adult swim classes.
I really appreciate the weights and machines- there’s a lot of options! I also appreciate how the machines are regularly serviced: when equipment is damaged, it’s quickly repaired (i.e., it doesn’t remain unusable for months, as I’ve seen at other gyms). I like that staff is constantly present on the floor. Cleaning equipment (cleaning spray and paper towels) is consistently available to keep the equipment clean. All in all, it’s a great gym!
I mainly go to Tellepsen for the indoor track and weights, especially when they weather is too hot, cold or rainy. As a personal trainer, I’m always recommending it to my (mainly senior) clients. I wish they had more tracks in other YMCA’s in the city. I also wish the Tellepsen had the e-gym.
So much available- something for everyone
I love your Silver Sneaker program and my husband enjoys working out at the Y. I find that I get a better workout in your Silver Sneakers Classic class and your Forever Well Class. The only problem being that the class is quite full. In fact, I booked this Wednesday's class on Sunday and when I went in to book Friday's class this morning it kicked me out of Wednesday's class and booked me for Friday's class. This is not the first time this has happened. Asking a bunch of seniors to take a screen shot of your reservation notification to prove you reserved it is pretty tough. This is not the first time this has happened and I am not the only one this has happened to. Please, find a way to fix the problem.
Excellent facility, excellent staff, excellent instructors. I just wish I could come every day!
I don’t know much about the programs and activities but your opening staff and lifeguards are an amazing bunch of people!
The gym is excellent! There is always a rack available when I go in the morning. I haven't signed up for the group classes yet, but those rooms look pristine.
I love the downtown YMCA the people, the cleanliness of it and all of the equipment.. I love the downtown YMCA!!!
All
There are always classes. You have a basketball court, pool, hot tub, sauna and steam room. The fitness area is loaded with cardio and strength equipment. The cleaning crew does a fantastic job and the desk attendants are very friendly. Given all of that and the low price I am very impressed with this gym overall.
I do wish that the pool area rules were enforced a bit more...there are many people who show up wearing their boxers and compression short briefs. They will use the steam room/sauna in their underwear and then jump into the pool without showering off, which seems pretty unsanitary.
Friendly people. An aray of workout equipment.
Excellent facilities. Friendly and helpful staff.
I'm 75 years old and the aqua arobics cause I need to move as much as I can
Please can you add in another class in the large group exercise room on Mon and Wed following Body Pump. It's a shame to have that big room sitting empty and also to not be able to go to Body Pump followed by another class, such as Body Combat - or even better - Body Tone. It would be great for this location to start offering Tone. And I know there is a teacher who is getting certified for it right now.
Great service
Exercise equipment. Pool. The problem is handicap parking. There are cars without permits. I have mobility problems and require a walker. I have brought it to the front desk and deaf ears. My wife has asked for an explanation of how to use the equipment and point to the decals on the sides. We are seniors and no one seems to help.
Great facility…fair pricing…does good work in the community.
Parking is a challange
I like the handball courts and the weight and cardio machines
Most all the programs the members are treated with respect.
Food Pantry is awesome
They are like going to boutique classes, but the cost is wrapped into my gym membership!
I wish The Y would open earlier on Sundays
Everything and the group instructors are great
There is a good variety of exercise classes and other activities for families.
