Member Testimonials
I enjoy the forever well groups. And the instructors are awesome.
great people
Like there are variety of classes for my age group. The instructors are very knowledgeable and helpful. Like the exercize machines which I also use everyday. Like I can go to Shadowbend and Branch Crossing. Both gyms are very convienient. The front desk workers are helpful also. Have been attending the "Y" many years. Glad my insurance covers the YMCA.

I like the variety of exercise classes offered. I like that the equipment in the gym is updated and new ones added. I like the hours offered for classes and and the gym. I like being able to use the app to select the group exercise classes and to be able to do online classes. I just like the Y in general.
All good
My family moved to the Woodlands 6 months ago and joined the Y right away. It’s one of the smartest things we’ve done. We were able to take advantage of childcare, enroll our kids in swimming lessons and use the awesome pool at Branch Crossing. I also love the group fitness classes and have met many friendly instructors and members.
Water aerobics
Very good programs for seniors. Also like the pool in the summer.
Great facilities, great staff
I mostly use the weights and cardio equipment. I do like that there is education available to teens about weight lifting. My teens definitely benefited from that program.
As a new member, and out of shape 65 year old, I very much enjoy the Forever Well classes. I see much improvement in my strength, flexibility and balance since I started attendance 2 months ago and I tell all my same age friends! I also find most of the instructors very professional and informed to help us older folks get and maintain our physicality.
One wish on my part - I love Melissa's Line Dance class! It is mostly held at Branch Crossing but its day and time always conflict with Forever Well classes at Shadowbend. If it could be scheduled to not conflict with Forever Well classes, I would love it!!
Great facilities and layout,
I believe in the mission of the YMCA.
Excellent staff, selection of classes, and instructors. There is a warm, friendly community of members as well.
Lots of choices. Clean, well equipped facility. Helpful staff.
The main attraction for my wife and I is the pickle ball open play sessions. We like that the nets are set up and ready to go at the stated start time.
Great stuff
like the intructors
The instructors are very friendly and the classes are not very full.
We take our special needs son to the Pool ECERY weekend and we feel the lifeguards should be more attentive and more considerate of my sons needs .
The water is therapeutic for him but sadly we feel unwelcome by some lifeguards there !
Location and price is why we use the Shadowbend Y. We use the weight room. Wish it was bigger and updated.
I do not participate any longer, do not live in the area but was member for over 20 years when I lived there. Visited recently and was completely thrilled. Your facility is Excellent. Better than the downtown Houston branch that I go to now. Thank you.
I was in a bad car accident years ago and using the pool to workout in has been wonderful.
