Cordial and helpful staff. We
I love the staff’s friendliness. The building can’t be beat. And I especially love the diversity of the patrons — all races and ages, both genders, and a range of incomes and interests.
Great schedule of classes
I love that there is a sauna steam room and jacuzzi I have a knee injury and back injury so I use them . My main ymca is the 249 cypress I was disappointed that know no longer offer the sauna and steam room and the jacuzzi is always out of service that is the closes ymca to me and that's still a 30 minute drive
Variety of options
I go to the Tellepsen Y only for the deep water aerobics classes led by Mona on Mondays & Wednesdays. She is one of the best teachers I've ever encountered. My knees are arthritic so even the water classes that have people jumping around in the shallow end or the therapy pool cause me pain. But Mona's classes do not cause me any pain. She focuses on her students' technique and form and I know that it's because that is important to build the muscle strength properly. She cares deeply about her students and them doing the exercise properly.
I also go there for water classes because of the indoor pool vs outdoor. Less weather cancellations!
Once I get both knees replaced I may try some other water classes or swim laps, or even try the workout equipment.
Great facilities. probably the best in the city. Great people on staff as well
I come for the lunch basketball games for years even from the old building on Louisiana, my guest love the classes and activities.
Keep me in shape
I recently answered this survey. I like the programs, especially the active older adults. The facility is clean, the staff are very competent and family and encouraging. Parking is available.
Thank you.
Group classes, wonderful instructors
I am a handball player and enjoy the courts.
I am very satisfied with the quality of services provided in the YMCA.
The variety.
Bodyflow and other group exercise classes.
I do my own workout without any classes. Like the great facility and the people.
Many choices, nice facility, friendly staff
I enjoy the swimming pool and the weight room upstairs. It's a large facility so it's never too crowded and the people in the pool area are very respectful with sharing lanes.
I like the proximity to my house and work and the facility is clean and well-maintained. The staff turnover is minimal so I see the same "friends" (Jon, Sheryl, Tiffany) every time I visit on weekdays and Carol when I come in on Saturday.
I wish the Y had earlier Sunday morning hours so I could come in on Sunday, also - even if it was just for limited services (i.e. the Women's Center, etc.)
The Y has it all. You won't find another w/ a Chapel.
Variety and availability.
Actually, I have not attended any programs. I do utilize the computer lab for course assignments. Last year I purchased a personal trainer for exercise although, I chose to give the monies as a general act of kindness and donation. Maybe next year.
Very well laid out - lots of users, but facility flows well.
opening schedule is very broad and friendly
I like the diversity and the availability of the various timing options
I only use the gym/showers and I like the staff friendliness, equipment availability/assortment, and the overall cleanliness.
I really like the kids swimming lessons and the camps.
They have an abundance of classes/times to choose from.
I love the teachers, especially Kaitlyn and Yahudi! :)
The life gaurds have been very nice and respectful , also the exercise workers on the 4th floor have been great and friendly , I would like to thank all of them very much for motivating me .
