Member Testimonials
There's something offered here to suit anyone's fitness goals, which is nice.
The Y has everything that I need in one place.
Caroline Duncan has been my trainer for four years. My confidence, strength and abilities have improved year-over-year because Caroline
has tailored training to my individual needs; planning big picture goals and implementing daily practices and strategies to challenge and grow me in safe, fun, measurable, ways.
Caroline has a plan for our sessions together but also assesses and responds to my present levels during trading sessions by extending practices and strategies in response to where i am on a given day, Instead of a checklist, Caroline draws on her knowledge and experience across MANY content areas each time we train.
I cannot imagine this stage of my life without Caroline.
(It’s ok to share this w Caroline directly.)
We have some rockstar personal trainers here at the Bryan Y. Shout out to Kaleb for leading the team well!
The many programs and activities that are available
Amanda Barthel is the best - both her class and personal training!
Personal attention from caring trainer
Teachers, variety, time and energy from participants
My trainer listens to my needs, assesses my abilities and creates a program that is tailored for me. In the time I have been with my trainer I have seen physical changes and have noticed a gain in my strength and stamina.
The Y has such a wide variety of programs for all ages! The track is excellent as well as the weight area with all the machines. Best of all are the friendly staff members who are always very helpful. AND i love all the friendly Y members!!
I like the convenience of the Bryan Y and the facilities
It helps you to be active and improve your health.
I’m an early riser the group of people who show up at opening are wonderful
agood gym and pool.
wish the broken lockers fixed!
I had an out of body experience and went to heaven….and then responsibility kicked back in and dragged me kicking and screaming away from the Y. I love the Y more than the critique from Ratatouille loves Ratatouille. More than your mother loves you. Hold the L
Good variety
Indoor track. and weights..
You offer a wide variety of different activities for the whole family.
Everyone there is respectful and there are so many exciting things to do. I love being able to walk on the indoor track & get in the jacuzzi & pool while my son works out in the fitness center or play basketball.
I like that genuinely everyone goes to the Bryan Y - there’s no “stereotypical” member in terms of identity, age, etc. which makes it clear that everyone is welcome there to pursue their goals, whatever their goal may be.
My rating isn't about programs or activities. Everything is great, except the family locker area near the pool. Lockers 5 and 19 are continuously full despite saying "Day use only" this has occurred for many months now and inhibits the use of the lockers by others who only need them for a few hours of a day (especially on busier days).
Everyone is very friendly and the instructors are very knowledgeable about training.
good availability for lap swimming, perfect water temperature. The variety of classes for group exercise is great. I like that it feels like a community place....
I love everything about your programs and activities because it keeps my son busy and learning about new things
I mostly just did body pump, which is wonderful. I really like John's Body Pump class. Just the right mix of humor and pushing us.
The staff here is awesome, they listen, and the programs and activities are tailored to you.
The instructors are very knowledgeable about their subjects and work with everyone on their level.
I love the fact that the Bryan YMCA offers a variety of programs that is inclusive of different ages, fitness levels, economic and professional backgrounds. It provides family type of atmosphere.
It's good for all ages.

The availability was my #1 reason for joining. I was able to sign up 4 children 2 days before the registration deadline. The staff went above & beyond to make it happen and I am extremely grateful for their guidance & assistance. Especially Walker, Joanne, Amy and Karen (aquatics) who expedited everything and made it all possible.
