Good service
The pool is fantastic and I love that you've heated it! The women's locker room is very nicely done, Looking forward to joining some classes.
Love the heated pool!
Thank you for fixing the handicap chair at the pool and repainting the yellow stripes in front of the sidewalk ramp ! Having a pool to do my therapy is huge to me ! It helps me manage my pain. The lifeguards are polite and helpful.
The cardio machines need channel guides, for the TV’s. Also when a machine is moved please confirm all features are working properly, ie the TV
I like my classes and the other members. The Y is a community not just a gym for exercising.

Great exercise classes.
Everything - best place to workout ever!
Friendly staff. Choice of classes. Luv my Zumba instructor on Saturday mornings! Class feels like family! Location!! Everything!!! And now the remodel…how lucky can we get??!!
The spacious gym area, good parking areas,clean well maintained equipment.
I love the recent upgrades! Very nice!
I like the new cardio and very appreciative of that. Life Fitness is an excellent product. Surprised to not see any Life Fitness Arc Trainers. Probably the best cardio piece on the market for its ergonomic movement. I don't know of the final construction plans, but additional stretching/core space is needed.
I love the wellness center. The people that work there are wonderful.
Wellness area is beautiful and there are more family wellness programs and classes- outside of organized sports. You listened to the feedback of your members.
The Foster "Y" is nearby, the new weight room is great, and the pool is heated. What's not to like?
You’re doing a great job, I love my local YMCA.
The Harriet and Joe Foster Y is undergoing extensive, long needed renovations! The weight room has doubled in size, thank goodness! The machines are updated! And, the room is spotless. Lighting is excellent, too.
I've been going to that Y for years and it is a friendly place. The staff is available and always helpful.
It’s not your programs and activities. It’s the membership comprised largely of long-time Northside residents that prompts me to ardently recommend the MDA Y. Your programs and activities? I don’t see any signs that these exist, other than the literal sign out front announcing the existence of a team sport for kids.
Where are DeShaun and Larry? When the MDA first re-opened, they were exactly half the staff. Now they are gone and only the two young woman up front remain. A facility director? I vaguely remember seeing a person identified as such floating around like an ethereal being for a couple of days, but that was last spring. Never said “boo” to any members as far as I know, much less come into the gym at the start of a class to say howdy do to the participants.
You expect those two young women at the desk and the janitor to run this place and make it a success? That tells members volumes about how much the YMCA of Greater Houston values them and the MDA Y. Bleeding the MDA to death by cutting off its access to vital resources would be a grave and shameful mistake. I hope that that is not Corporate’s intent and that the value of this historic neighborhood institution will be recognized, and its future made a YMCA long-term planning priority.
Thank you.
