Member Testimonials
Variety of programs at different times. The staff is amazing. All the way from janitor to everyone who greets me to helping with equipment.
Great coaches that are very patient.
I love the Y, specially the Monty Ballard Y in my neighborhood. I specifically much appreciate your heated large pool at the MB YMCA and have regularly used it ever since it was built. However, I would like to make the following two suggestions.
1. You are currently closing the MB YMCA at 9pm, however the pool closes at 7:45pm, more than the usual 1 hr before closing. PLEASE leave it open till 8pm for the public (you are allowing it for your swim classes)! There is no apparent need to close it more than an hour before closing and it does add much needed schedule flexibility for us the patrons.
2. You have enough room in the pool area to add a reasonable sized steam and/or dry sauna. Very few YMCA's have this facility and none in the west part of Houston. I understand we still have Covid but vaccines are now available to all and it's time to begin our return to normal healthy ways. A sauna would be such a healthy addition and it would certainly add a touch of excellence to your current facilities.
Well organized. Consistent schedule and consistent availability.
