Member Testimonials
I primarily attend the "Y" to use the lap pool. Since the COVID reservation program has ceased it is really an excellent experience. The lap pool is always generally available, and other swimmers are more than happy to let you join their lane. I think swimmer regulated participation is better than the reservation method.
I think it would be great if the Y would allow you to "up" your membership to include not only the "adult" membership, but also round-up or add an additional $25 a month to be a "Impact Member." I appreciate that not everyone may want to round-up, but I think some members appreciate the benefit of the Y in their own lives by being able to access the facility, but also appreciate the Y's larger mission and benefit to the community.
Body pump class with Michelle and the ability to run on a track indoors! My boys enjoy childwatch while I workout
I like the Women's Center. At this time, I do not participate in any group classes or any programs.
I really enjoy the Women’s Center as it allows me to workout in a friendly and judge-free zone.
The group exercise classes are fantastic. The cycling program is top notch. I am very pleased with the course scheduling, as well as the cleanliness of the facility.
I would like to see more senior classes or water aerobics. But other than that I'm very pleased with the YMCA and the staff. The staff is very helpful and courteous.☺
The programs are helpful to the community.
Great group exercise classes and instructors. The facilities are very clean.
When I go, I feel comfortable to exercise and don't feel judged.
The greatest and responsive to suggestions. DeAnna does listen.
Classes good equipment
Great place and excellent people work here.
I would love to have the women's workout room open longer than just until 1:00 p.m. please.
The programs and activities for seniors have dwindle down to just about nothing.
Facilities, cleanliness, staff.
Work out programs are designed for people of all ages. Kid's activities allows our children to grow and have fun. In a healthy and safe environment. Thank You to the staff at the YMCA Houston.!!!
I love the yoga classes! At Tellepsen, the yoga teachers are REAL yoga teachers! I love Gloria and Brittany the best!!! I cannot thank the Y enough for having yoga at 9am! This is the perfect time for me! I love the POWER YOGA!!! It's so challenging and the best class ever!!! The Zumba with Julia is so fun! And Tomoko teaches a badass Body Flow! Both ladies are totally inspiring! Thank you, YMCA for keeping me fit!

I love the classes at the downtown Tellepsen YMCA, but do wish there were so a little bit later in the evening. I don't get off work until 5:30 and it seems like most of the classes start around 5:15/5:30. Even the 6:00 classes are hard for me to make. I would love to see classes starting at 6:15/6:30.
I would also love to see Barre come back to the downtown location at a time other than Saturday at 7am. I fondly remember the Tuesday evening barre class and how well attended and loved it was by the women that came every week religiously!
I liked it when there were yoga, Pilates, and body flow classes in the 4-7pm range so I could come straight from work.
The activities and programs are carefully planned and easily accessible. The "Downtown Y is a well run organization. Staff is polite and competent. Equipment is clean and well maintained. I have been a member of the "Downton Y" (now Tellepsen) for 41 years....it's an important part of my life.
I like that it is family friendly. We go work out together and have fun. There is a variety of classes. My son loves the track.
Everything is good 👍 and perfect for my family
Awesome
I attend Body Pump and Body Attack classes here and think the instructors are amazing, Especially Jihan, Laura, and Theresa Tagle.
I like that they are family friendly.
