Member Testimonials
The atmosphere at the YMCA is friendly, encouraging, and age-appropriate. The pace is slower, and senior citizens find the YMCA more enjoyable and engaging.
The facility is great, and I especially love the heated pool. I would really love to see more group exercise classes offered.
Thanks,
Love the variety of classes and quality of instructors. It is sometimes frustrating that some classes fill before the supposed 72 hour period. I keep checking in and then the class is already full (John's Combo Cardio and Stretch classes). It seems sensible to do cardio first then stretch after when warmed up so adding a class in the morning was nice but not a great solution for me.
I love the group exercise classes.
Love the all the Senior Forever Well classes.
For seniors
The Y is affordable and convenient. There are a number of class such as Forever Well and Classic Silver Sneakers that fit my needs.
The gym is not too crowded which is the main problem with gyms in the city. The gym is also well stocked and kept up well. Parking is not difficult.
I like that we NOW have yoga classes at various times, not just 8am. And I’m happy with the quality of the teachers. Also, I like the Stretch and Restore class, depending on who’s teaching.
Nice team and good friendly workout equipment, make you feel cozy and sweet home feeling
I like this gym is very clean and very helpful. I have no problem asking questions and they’re willing to help you with them. Very nice workers always willing to help you when you have any questions like the question I just had..
Love this YMCA. AMAZING Staff, beautiful facility, great Leadership Team and Executive Director. 10 out of 10!
Accommodating schedule for classes and well run children’s programs
The Y has been a MAJOR aspect of my life! I attended summer day camp & took swim lessons at Cossaboom Y in elementary school. I swam at the Y pool after my high school swim practice for more pool time throughout high school. The summer after I graduated I lifeguarded the lap pool opening until I switched to day camp counselor around 8:00 a.m. Working with kids at the Y gave me a love for them. I then pursued a degree in child psychology. I worked in both residential & partial hospital programs & then began working as a special education teacher. I’ve swam at Trotter since The Houstonian’s cheaper baby Bayou Park Club closed over 30 years ago. I’m now retired & still swimming! My life would be so different if it wasn’t for the Y!!!
We are so fortunate to have an outdoor heated pool.
A lot of varied activities and 4 days of Pickle Ball.

The athletic areas are clean. well furnished with modern exercise equipment and supervised with very competent attendants.
I just use the weights and cardio. A.J. and Jessie are great. It would be nice if some of the pads and covers were replaced as well as the knob on the single pulley on the multi-station. Thanks.
