People
I love the Lake Houston YMCA. I have been a member since 1994 and have enjoyed many years of YMCA ACTIVITIES.
Lake Houston has an awesome staff that greets me by name every time I enter the facility.
Talybra and Andrew have gone to great lengths to listen and help improve this facility. They are professional and friendly but most of all sincere.
The Y is very important as I age. The social is just as important as the classes. I believe in the SPIRIT , MIND AND BODY. SO FAR ITS WORKING!!
I WOULD HOWEVER LIKE MY OWN PARKING SPOT !! LOL.
Group exercises for seniors
Mostly joined for access to a pool to help me recover from surgery for a fractured neck. This swimming and light weight workout helps me continue my therapy in hopes to get back as close as I can to “normal”.
The employees! The programs and activities are definitely fun, but the employees are what make this branch so special. They truly care about the members and children who visit the Y. I feel like some of the staff are an extension of my family.
Only use the pool.
Issues that have not been addressed for a long time even though they have been brought to site management attention:
1). pool water is too cold in winter
2) too many bugs, dead & alive, in the pool;
Staff needs to clean the pool every hour of
bugs & debris
3). Ladies locker room is too cold year round
but especially in the winter
4). multiple leaking faucets in the ladies
showers. Has been that way for years. Such
a waste of water & money. Can’t imagine the
savings if only this was addressed.
5). Water in ladies showers is scalding hot.
Potential for a child or elderly person to get
injured
The staff is very friendly & attentive.
Variety of programd
The Lake Houston YMCA has something for every member of the family, from kids’ programs to senior adults. I enjoy the friendly, inclusive environment.
Love the group classes! Child care is great
We are regular user of the upstairs equipment. What would be nice is to add a mixture of music to that area. Yes I know you have it. It might help get pass all the noise generated from heavy weights being deliberately dropped onto landing. I am sure front desk can here this activity
Thanks
Water aerobics
I appreciate the cleanliness and maintenance of the facility. I have yet to feel that the equipment is dirty or unstable.
The instructors (especially Ellen, Cindy and Elfie) are awesome! I love their enthusiasm. They always have a smile on their face and are very encouraging during class. They are genuine and are not afraid to be themselves, something that I very much appreciate and love about them.
The staff is friendly and remembers you. They are quick to help and they don’t require people to exercise in a mask or enter wearing one. They accept all genders and races including trump supporters and Black Lives Matter supporters. We are all Americans at the y. Not there for a fight but for community.
Your pool is great and you provide good opportunities for people interested in lap swimming.
I like the classes offered (pilates with Ellen and selfies!) and most importantly your childcare. I am a stay at home Mom and love being able to bring my child during the day and get a great workout in knowing she’s happy and taken care of!
Serve my needs well.
I haven't participated in any programs or activities yet.
Suitable for older adults. Conducted by good instructors. Socially distanced in the gym.
I don't really know to much about the programs and activities, but I do enjoy the gym very much and strongly recommend it to anyone who wants to workout.
I like how friendly the staff is. The hours are flexible for my schedule. The facility is neat and organized. The classes are fun and effective.
Your employees
I love the cleanliness and precautions taken for Covid. I love the pool and availability of the pool.
Group fitness classes are awesome!
Swimming
everyone is upbeat
Broad array of activities with competent supervision. Relatively inexpensive services. Friendly and helpful staff.
Water aerobics are great --- like the mix between traditional water aerobics and zumba. I do wish you'd fix the showers so that the water could be regulated and not always so hot. We complain to each other, but apparently not to the maintenance people.
Wonderful instructors and staff!!!
