We are very happy to be back at the Tellepsen YMCA after having been vaccinated.
This YMCA has done a really good job adapting to the new world and keeping the members safe.

Well maintainerd and friendly staff.
Love the body attack class and the gym the equipment is new and innovative. Also things get fixed quickly. The staff from Mr. John at the front who remembers everybody name to Ms. Ara Schultz smile and personality. The staff here is great.

I like group classes, the walking/running track, and pool/whirlpool.
Great team across the board at Tellepsen!❤️
Staff are pleasant and helpful. Hope TVs gets fixed in 4th floor
I love the various types of gym equipment at the gym. I am also glad the classes are coming back in person!!! Especially body attack! I love that class!
The options of equipment and programs. This has helped me as an older adult develop a routine that suits my body and mindset.
Clean light well stocked facility
Near my house. Clean. Good equipment that is rarely broken. Committed group instructors and yogis. Friendly staff.
Great facilities. Clean and new. Well maintained
Well, actually, after the pandemic lock-down, I know things have changed for the YMCA, but I wish you could bring back TRX, MAT pilates, and have different yoga instructors (although Ariel is GREAT).
Also, the swimming pool is a little annoying, the lifeguards are awesome, but all these breaks they have to make us do it VERY annoying. I wish we could have an open continuous pool AND sauna.
However, I am an avid YMCA member and I love it!
They are widely available to all irrespective of ability to pay
I like everything
I feel safe going back to the gym with the reservation system you all have in place. I love the variety of classes offered and the lap lanes!
The group fitness classes are great! I love being able to do Body Pump and Body Attack.
Yoga, Pilates and Forever Well Dance classes. Would also enjoy Tai Chi.
I use weight machines and track.
First off everyday when I come in Alejandra greets me and my partner! Talk about a welcoming environment!! It sets the tone for my whole visit! I take Zumba with Julia on Mondays and Wednesdays and Bodyattack with Yahudi/Theresa Thursday and Saturday! Julia is so encouraging and really works on long term plans and improving every time you come in. You are better every time you leave her class. She is so fun and funny. Her songs are also so fun and changes it up all the time. Yahudi is the reason I love body attack. He made me comfortable and provided alternate moves for a difficult class. He’s so fun! Theresa is so motivating and high energy even if our class is not as big she still treats it like we are a full fun exciting class! I love the YMCA so much! I am bringing my roommates to join. My cousin recommended me to join also so the love keeps on spreading!
