Pre school and baby swim lessons
I love how well managed the facility is…clean, friendly staff, variety of classes, and never too crowded. Just wish my insurance still covered the Y.
The Aikido class it's just awesome
Silver Sneakers classes
Great place
Love the staff and how hard they work to promote a sense of community!
Variety of activities.
Love the facilities- typically very clean.
None of the Y's around me (downtown, 34th street, or over in the West side) though have a pool available between 2-4ish pm. Even the DUNCAN one had it advertised as open at 2pm and it wasn't available until 4pm.
I know it takes a LOT of lifeguards but would love it if one facility could have a pool available.
We'd also love a dry sauna option at the 34th street location!
All the employees are so friendly and willing to help. There are a lot of programs that people of all ages can participate in. We appreciate how the YMCA supports the community.
I’m 77 yoa the Duncan Y is the best it is very well equipped for all age groups and types of exercise. The Y staff are the best. Maintenance and janitorial staff are the best. My wife and I have multiple health issues which are helped by regular exercise.
The pool system is the best in Houston. I use it several times a week. You do have to be patient and understanding staffing issues are difficult.
Yes I highly recommend the Duncan Y for all age groups.
I like the exercises in the gym. I enjoy the volleyball games every week. I like the camaraderie among the members. I enjoy the field trips and I like that. It’s kind of small feels like one big happy family.
Like the staff. Wish for more lap pool hours in the morning.
Water aerobics; warm water

The bingo game.

I for one at the moment are interested in the exercise
For now. When I am able I may do other activities.
The Silver Sneakers program is amazing. Analea is such an encouraging and supportive instructor, in addition to being funny and fun!! Love all the other activities like lunches, trips, etc.
Swimming is great there
I love the water classes and the 11 senior/silver sneakers classes. I use machines as well. I have attended other classes but the above ste my favorite
I took a trip to houston Cistern. The group leader was very good. I enjoyed myself and meet a new friend. I normally go on trips with the Trotter Ymca.
Please continue to do what is best for the community.
Thank you !!!

Ansley and silver sneekers
Silver Sneaker classmates are friendly & caring
Friday workout is the best one with Shevan
The group exercise programs are great, wish I could get to more of them.
The staff is welcoming and friendly.
We really enjoy going to the YMCA because we go there to exercise, and we have met a lot of really good and nice people there.
Exercising helps us to relieve tension and work on our strength and flexibility. Ymca 3 days a week has helped us Physically and Mentally.
We always look forward to going the Ymca those 3 days of the week.
It has helped us so much and we really enjoy going there.
We will probably always go there to exercise and be with people we know.
Since attending the YMCA, your staff is very efficient and helpful even to us seniors. Their personality fits very well to each of us. They are helpful, bilingual and stays with you until you seem to be comfortable with the exercise equipment being use.
I really enjoy the early morning timeframe....ability to come in to positive folks and an easy login is a nice thing to continue to offer.
The weight room and TV's are clean and machines are working....sometimes that can be a challenge with the # of people who are pushing iron on a regular basis!
Kudos to the staff for keeping everything working.
There are many days where i put the headset on and dive into the iron.....leaving all the impeding stressors at the Y door......thanks to the staff for allowing me to talk on days and other days...it is nothing but iron!
showers and dressing room ( and bathrooms) are neat and clean and stocked.
I do not use the showers each day, but when i do....it is a wonderful feature as i sometimes leave the Y then travel to work.
thanks again!
