Member Testimonials
I love the atmosphere
Great equipment, great classes. Only complaint is that it would be nice to have an indoor pool.
Karen's yoga and stretch classes at the Downtown Y (Sunday at 2, Monday at 5:30, Tuesday at 4:30) are the reason that I am a member at the YMCA. I got a membership thinking it would be nice to work out.... many years of regular attendance later, Karen's classes have made an incredible difference in my life. Her classes have helped me gain not just flexibility and strength, but a sincere enjoyment of exercise and confidence in my body. This was especially helpful during my recent pregnancy and recovery. I am so thrilled that the YMCA community brought Karen into my life.
Steam room and pool. Downtown location. Great staff and greeters who know me by name.

The instructors
Member discounts
I love the women’s gym room, as well as the large gym. And the track is awesome. All the staff are very friendly and helpful. I’m glad the stationery bikes have been fixed (I know if was not your fault that the screens went dark or wacky a few weeks back).
Thanks for your facility!!

Sauna & Steam Room!
The fact that I can come to the Y whenever it is convenient for me. And if I travel and I go the the Y where ever I happen to be.
There is always good instruction for whatever classes I take. And on my business days (when I pull out the checkbook and pay b ills I can go upstairs in the quiet and sit down and r eview my accounts.
You have a lot to select from
I love the people who attend the YMCA, the community, such a wonderful snapshot of Houston, and a very supportive group of people. Of course all of the YMCA staff who I have encountered at Tellepsen (and other YMCA locations) have been super professional, friendly, and knowledgable. The contractors who teach group classes are also top notch, with each trainer sticking to the formula of the class, but also adding their own energy.
I recommend everyone have a Y membership. I honestly can't think of a case why someone would go to another gym.
