Member Testimonials
Well Managed indoor pool.
My wife and I are brand new members and have only been three times. We swam some laps, sharing a lane for we were not practicing any truly know stroke, just swimming and a bit of outdoor pool time (and Slide!). Next day we tried the Sunday Yoga and today, Tuesday, I did the Aqua Fitness (Shallow). While I'm trying to find the right fit and schedule for myself, we have thus far very much enjoyed the classes and especially the renovated facility, new machines, friendly staff.
Thank you,

Great YMCA
I recommend LH YMCA often and will continue to do so.
Pleasant, clean enviroment. I like the prayer room and the pickleball and my wife likes the body pump class and the lap pool.
Locker rooms are great.

The pool
Building is always clean & all employees are friendly & helpful.
Well, the Lake Highlands Y has some nice features that many people would enjoy. These include, not necessarily in any order:
- A very friendly staff
- Equipment and floors are clean
- Many new pieces of work out equipment
- Austin Cooper offers great personal workouts
- Tai Chi Class is good for everyone
- If you want it, the Y has it
Joined for the pool to lap swim and it's always too warm so I have to go to other YMCA's pools
Facility is lovely. Wish the group exercise classes would be changed up occasionally. Spin is not being taught by live instructors enough. Some morning classes such as Monday 9:30 HIIT and Thursday 9:30 Pilates need music change. In general instructors need a variety of playlists. They should be alternating weekly.
Super-friendly staff, a clean and well-kept facility, and there is so much to do! You have something for everyone!
I love it! It’s clean and have great friendly staff.
Every employee I have had contact with has been extremely helpful and friendly. I came to Lake Highlands for the eGym equipment.
Everyone that works there is friendly and helpful and I always have a good time when working out there!
My personal trainer Deb Brackenridge is excellent!!! I receive consistent 5 star training, education and support.
Clean. Friendly staff
Every thing is wonderful!
The staff is amazing! The facilities are excellent and well maintained. But, the staff is what makes it special.
I primarily use the exercise machines and they are new and efficient and plentiful. I also find the front desk team friendly and welcoming.
I do have one complaint and will share it here: There are too many people talking on their cell phones during their workouts -- and speaking at full volume. I have been a member for three years and there has been an exponential number of women (primarily) not being conscientious about this. I would appreciate your including a message in an upcoming Y email reminding members that there should be no cell phone talking on the floor. Or see if the fitness staff can remind them to stop. People can step off the machines and sit in the front area to talk instead.
I appreciate this consideration and keep up the great work otherwise.
Can be not very crowded. Most of the machines are in good shape, but there are broken machines that are taking a very long time to fix. Some of these broken machines are a major part of my workout.
Y Staff and Trainers are great!
It’s close to my home, the facility is always clean, and I enjoy the EGYM circuit the best.
The EGym is the reason I drive from Farmers Branch to the Lake Highlands Y. I love that the EGym lets me lift weights efficiently and effectively. It keeps track of my machine settings, weight settings, and it checks my ability every 6 times I workout. It is wonderful!! I really appreciate that everybody using EGym is on the same timeframe. Nobody sits on a machine for 20 minutes like on the stand alone machines. I can get in and get out. That’s important to me. I use the stand alone machines too, and the seated elliptical and recumbent bike. I love all the windows so I can look out while working out. The staff is friendly and helpful. Javier at the desk has the best smile. I met Joe today and thanked him for asking young kids to leave the weight room. I was worried that they would get hurt. Gary, the custodian, is always so nice and friendly. He keeps everything looking good. I love the water aerobics classes. The pool is the perfect temperature. The instructors, Theresa and Melody, are awesome!!!
Lake highlands is great. I live closer to white rock but they have terrible policy in place for swim lessons which does not allow people to swim during lessons. Soo pool is unavailable during prime time hours.
It’s easier to get in the inside pool with the new stairs that you put in
Great staff and facilities
The choices in evening classes and variety of Zumba instructors.
Welcoming

It’s a descent place to work out, staff is always friendly and helpful. Good atmosphere
