Member Testimonials
I like that classes are offered. But only been a member for a short time and haven’t signed up for any yet. But do plan on it.
The atmosphere is very positive and welcoming. You meet many people and some old friends while participating in programs and activities at this Y location. There are a variety of activities that are offered and are suitable for all ages.
I enjoy going to the gym. It is always clean and everyone is kind and helpful. The 5:00 am staff at the front desk is friendly and kind always. Our swimming instructor Ms. Gretchen is amazing.
Ms. Janette at the front is always so helpful and everyone on the phone is very kind.
Friendly people and patient and knowledgeable
The variety of activities available. Easy access by public transit.
Everything i loveeeee everything
The. Downtown Y gym is excellent and so well cared for and maintained. The Y staff is friendly and helpful! Love the place!
I like the facility, basketball pick up games and weight lifting amenities.
I like how clean and how efficient the equipment is. I would prefer a better playlist though I would prefer to not work out to Whitney Houston other than that I love this gym!
I like Tellpsen YMCA's clean and organized faculty.
All teachers of YMCA are so nice. I attended yoga class, zumba, and Bodyjam. It is good for my body and feels engaged with the community.
The gym on the 4th floor is also organized and spacious.
The parking lot is free for members, and it is a little bit busy, but I can find space for me all the time.
I love the gym and the people.
The program and staff.
Excellent group exercise options and the best instructors
easy access
The variation. Before work and after work schedules.
I enjoy the treadmills, the strength training machines, the indoor track and the women’s center
I love that it’s a safe, clean, friendly place to work out. I don’t feel intimidated to use the weight machines, and I love that there are rooms I can duck into to work out alone. I’ve not taken a class, but I enjoy being able to drop in for a quick workout with my teen son. A great activity for the whole family!
Great equipment. Love the track. I am glad that the gates are no longer operational in the parking ramp! :-)
The classes I regularly participate have great instructors. There is a good variety of classes offered. The facility is clean and well maintained. The staff is very professional, knowledgeable and friendly.
The social atmosphere is an added plus!
Friendly people work there. Reasonably priced for well-kept facility with many options. We use the swimming lessons. I generally avoid peak hours, but haven't had major challenges finding equipment to use (weight machines, cardio machines, been awhile since I used free weights). I like the treadmills with the running programs that "take you" to different locations.
Very good programs, excited to attend.
There is a good variety of exercise classes and other activities for families.
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.
Along with the Cy Creek Y, you are one of the best Ys in town
