Member Testimonials
I love the group exercise classes and instructors!
I only use the gym and pool so can’t speak to the classes. It’s great value for money with such a well equipped gym and the pool isn’t too busy when I use it.
I like the diversity of your programs, but you should post signs in the locker rooms so people leave the rooms cleaner than they currently do.
I like the variety that is offered in addition to some of the teachers.
The variety of activities proposed.
Classes, running track, child watch
I like the clean environment, maximal functionality, and the many amenities.
I had such a great experience at the Tellespen location. I'm a member at the Katy location and often feel unwanted because the staff watch me everywhere I exercise for some reason. At Tellespen, I feel like a member and plan to visit regularly. I complained at the Katy location about the experience I have but nothing changed. That location is closer to me. Tellespen is a 45-minute drive that I planned to take often.
We really use the warm water rec pool - my husband is disabled and working in that pool is so very helpful. And his trainer - Yvonne - is THE BEST. However, more lifeguards do need to be hired to ensure the pool is regularly available - lately the pool has been closed without much notice due to lack of lifeguards.
Also really like training on the floor with Ed. And the Zumba classes.
Please consider adding pickle ball - very popular right now and us retired folks would really benefit from such an addition.
Lots of group ex classes

The YMCA is the best gym in the world. If I could , I would be at the gym all day and night.
I love the variety of exercise classes and the overall quality of the facility, but my favorite part is that I feel like I am part of a community at Tellepsen. The staff do a wonderful job of making me and my family feel welcome. Thank you for all your hard work.
The group classes
Location on the way to work
I like the low impact class at the weekly gym and my favorite is the pool and the downtown location.
The amenities are great. Different things to do to be fit! Access from the parking garage and street. Nice staff. Classes that I am able to drop in anytime. The CONS are the equipment is dusty at the base and while staff sanitizes often, they miss a lot.
Good instructors, clean facilities, location, cost.
The many machines and heavy bag / speed bag. The swimming pool. The staff and spacious workout ares.
The ForeverWell instructors and classes. They are all outstanding, highly motivating and knowledgeable.

Gym is very clean, friendly staff, and plenty of space and equipment. Well maintained and helpful. Reasonable prices.
The 55+ senior activities and exercise classes are terrific.
Thank you for all that the Y does for members and our community. I would like to see the towel service to be brought back to the Tellepsen YMCA. I know that might be a struggle to get back to this rhythm, but is a convenient service that will be well received by members.
Huge thanks to the staff at the Tellepsen YMCA for making us feel some normalcy following our experiences over the last two years. I feel like I now belong at this site.
Kudos to all staff members!
