Member Testimonials
Tellepsen YMCA couldn’t be more perfect. The staff are friendly and helpful. I use the women’s gym and it has full workout equipment. Three days a week I go to Forever Wellness exercise classes designed for 55+ adults. The routines include exercises for strength,flexibility, balance, and cardio. The instructors are fun and enthusiastic and give tips for those who are not ready to do the full workout. I’m NOT a dancer; I couldn’t begin to do a Zumba class. But the Wellness dance class is fun and easy. Bottom line is—it’s a great place.
Convenience of location. You are right on my way to work. And I like the large mens locker room.
Friendly Staff, easy to get around, eash to fknd parking.
How large the main workout room is, very clean. I wish the women’s weight room had more hours!
Love Gloria, Brittany, tomiko. Would like some classes early afternoon…power yoga, Pilates, body flow, dance, body jam, core
The classes, the excellent teachers, the Women’s Room, all the good friends I’ve made there, and the mission of the Y to reach out and help others.

I joined the YMCA back in 1978 which was a life changer, it offered programs from fitness to weightlifting and much more. I met others with the same interest and have had a bond that is unbreakable. Today I still think of the Downtown YMCA as home and because I live about twenty-five miles away and can only get there on Saturdays I look forward to that each and every weekend. Before the pandemic, I visited the Alief Y daily because it's only a mile from my job and it opened around 4:30 am which was great. Over the years I've shared my story with countless people who I talked about the YMCA and how it changed my life
Tellepsen Family YMCA offers a superb facility with first rate equipment. The building is superbly maintained, and the staff is helpful, friendly and courteous. I am also aware of a variety of popular fitness and wellness offerings at Tellepsen. Finally, I always find parking in the building's parking area.
I like the building design and equipment especially the pool!
Group exercise classes.
I go often and I like the women center for privacy...and I don't appreciate the new schedule hours....Thank you very much
There is a lot to like about the Y. But one thing I don't like is how you've changed the pricing on personal training. I used to buy 12 sessions at a time and use them up at a rate of twice a week because I knew I could skip a week with no penalty if I were traveling. Now that you have switched to a monthly fee, with no opportunity to roll unused sessions over to the next month, I can only commit to 4 sessions a month. I am not willing to pay for something I might not get. This is a loss of revenue for you and a loss of loyalty for me. I previous years, I spent approximately $5,824 on personal training. Now I'm spending approximately $3,228. Someone should do the math. This is not good for your clients and it's not good for you!
I love the staff, the cleanliness, the pool, whirlpool and saunas, I just love this YMCA.
wide range of fitness opportunities for diverse groups
great place
It is awesome that there is an indoor track. That helps on hot, scorching days and nights, plus it is safe. Julia, the Zumba instructor is a dear. I am also a fan of the yoga and Bodyflow classes.
Great staff at the front desk and pool areas. Really all over the building. Love the access so close to home, free parking garage. Great pool hours.
Indoor track
Kid friend environmental & clean gym
The most important thing for us as a parents is that the kids are safe and having fun.
Thank you
I like the facilities a lot but I wish parking in the garage was 3 hours instead of the 2

The staff was professional, courteous and very helpful. The programs and activities are very helpful.
