The cleanliness of the facility and the swimming programs.
The building is modern. I like that Tellespen offers a lot of fitness classes, an indoor pool, indoor hot tub, steam room, and dry sauna. Also a large amount of lockers and good fitness equipment

Beautiful facility, love the hot tub, pool, and steam room. I miss having my yoga instructor here, Sharon Hughes BUT thankfully she's at the Texan's Y on Saturday's at 8:15 a.m. then I drive to this facility to pamper myself! Excellent customer service!
The facilities are excellent, but some services have declined since the Covid shutdown.
The fourth floor needs to be thoroughly and regularly cleaned. Using the weight machine gives members a disheartening opportunity see how sketchy the cleaning service is.
When will lockers be available to rent again? Having a locker makes the clean-up after exercise much more pleasant.
If members are going to be asked to sanitize (that might not be the most accurate term) machines after using them for the safety of other members, sturdier towels would make that process easier and more effective.
The Espersen Downtown Y is a significant asset, and it needs to be maintained in top-notch fashion.
Great Body Attack classes.
I’ve been a member of the YMCA almost 40 years and served on the Trotter board for nine years. This facility has always been in tune with its members needs and wants and serves the community with a Christian heart. Rumors are circulating though. Please do not sell out to real estate pressures. Continue to provide for the needs of the community’s heart, soul and mind.
Cleanliness of facility, variety of classes, group exercise classes instructors
I love the opportunity I get at the Tellepsen Y to meet and chat with folks from such a wide spectrum of life. I interact with policemen, ballet dancers, folks with prosthetic limbs, in wheelchairs, folks from various countries, fit folks, folks working toward fitness, young, not young, and ALL are working to improve their physical and mental health. It’s inspiring and it’s awesome.
I love their sports and gym and youth center also teen activities
Everything. Pool, group exercises.
I absolutely love the Les Mills group workout classes and the instructors !
Good instructors. Good facilities. Good schedules of classes.
I wish more young people would wear masks. Usually I can safely avoid most of them.

It would be awesome if you were open earlier on Sundays.

I love rpm cycle class! John Michael is awesome! I’m a teacher and they have good times!
Thank you very much for connecting the TV's to the stationary bicycles. I like everything about the Downtown Y. It's absolutely the best facility of it's kind, and I have seen a lot of them.
Instructors and facilities are both excellent.
I really like taking classes from Michelle and Ashley! I can only make Ashley’s rpm class on Saturdays.
I do wish Asley could teach her classes at 6 or 6:15 p.m.because I can’t make it to the y on time for her 5:30 rpm or pump class.
These 2 are the best in my book! They are the reason I go to the y! They are wonderful, knowledgeable and motivating.
