times are good for yoga, but could be weekend classes.
Andrea is an excellent yoga teacher!
I like that group classes are geared towards different age and ability levels.
Love the outdoor lap pool. And all the cool cheerful young folks that work there. They always brighten my day.
The Y has very knowledgeable instructors. I love Rebecca D-Bs and Rebecca L's classes.
I used to enjoy Shauna's Sr. Strength class, but it became too crowded.
The front desk staff has improved their customer service over the last year. Friendlier, pay closer attention to those coming in and out, and seem more knowledgeable when asked questions.
I enjoyed Bodypump and swimming laps.
Facility is clean.
I absolutely love the Southwest YMCA! The Kid Care program has been such a great experience. Huge shout-out to Zoe, Jacqueline, and Bri for always being rockstars every time I drop off Carly. They’re friendly, welcoming, and make the experience so much easier for both kids and parents.
This YMCA also offers great youth programs, including basketball and soccer, which are fantastic ways for kids to stay active, have fun, and build confidence.
For adults, there’s a solid selection of weight equipment, and I especially enjoy the BodyPump classes.
Overall, the Southwest YMCA is a wonderful community resource, and the staff really make it feel like a welcoming place to be!
You have additional group exercise programs within the cost of the membership. I do wish the machines on the 2nd floor were fixed which are the stretching machines at SW-YMCA. I do wish the walking path on the 2nd floor was cleaned and I would recommend Zero Rez. I like all the additional machines that were added on 1st floor or I should say my Husband likes that there are more machines.
I wish there were swimming lessons for the elderly.
I wish there were social events for the elderly.

Great instructors for the classes that are available, friendly atmosphere of the Y community
Everything works..and attendants keep it going..and they are very friendly
Variety of classes for seniors

I like the updates to the gym (additional and new equipment and the reorganization). I also like updates to the the facility in general - the polished concrete floor is much better than the old carpet.
many options, all age friendly, good times of day
Variety and numerous classes.
Friendly manners
I love my group exercise classes and teachers. I like being greeted when I arrive at the Y. I enjoy the friends I make and the caring atmosphere. I like that the equipment is maintained in excellent condition. I like the Y providing camps and programs for low-income kids from other communities.
Really nice space with updated equipment, and great front desk staff
Swimming pool, and weight room.
Front End Staff is exceptionally efficient and friendly. Role Models are kind, friendly and knowledgable. Senior free access is the best service to keep us healthy and make new friends.
Parking lot is limited, though. I enjoy this close to home location that encourages me to exercise without dealing with Austin traffic.

I’m retired & don’t bring my grandchildren or it’s very seldom that we visit together….I do enjoy rhe friendly reception at front desk?.
The outdoor swimming pool is my go to place for exercise as reducing the weight room activity.
I also go to Gold’s gym for that nearby home.
