Member Testimonials
Rebecca who teaches yoga
I feel very welcomed when I come in the door, and everyone is happy to help and answer questions. I like the elliptical machines because they measure my output and heart rate. The pool is great too!
I don’t actually involve these but one to one private is what thank for ! I happy for it
The variety that’s offered! Something for all age groups.
Very family-centric; availability of child watch. A large variety of activities.
We love the childcare facilities! Our daughter has so much fun. It’s active, staff is engaged, and very well kept. It gives us peace of mind while we try to get some exercise in.
Cycling. Smitha Sebastain is an exemplary instructor—knowledgeable, encouraging and delightful.
Addition of Aqua Zumba and excellent Barre and Pilates instructor, I just wish te classes start a bit sooner
we couldnt think more highly of the staff at the southwest Y - it keeps us coming back almost daily. the director, andi, is phenomenal. she is professional, hardworking, personable, and leads through serving others. i have seen her step in and help when areas are understaffed numerous times. she knows members by name and will step away from a busy day to invest in building rapport with members & staff. she invests in others and it has blessed our family beyond measure. we also think the world of the children's staff and director, kathy. it is a blessing to know when we bring our three children to the Y that they are not being sat in front of a screen, but being taught new things, creating crafts, playing with educational toys, running outside, and making friends. special shout out to all the childcare workers and their hardwork and patience, especially ms. elizabeth and ms. kathy. lastly the programs coordinator hailey is always always serving the community and kids. i see her tirelessly teaching, leading, and helping others through camps, programs, and events. if i haven't reiterated it enough, we love the southwest ymca and are so thankful for the incredible people who work there - y'all are truly the best of the best!
All are welcome. Positive enviroment. Recreational focus for the young players rather than competition eclipsing it. I enjoyed meeting new families.
This fall soccer season was our first sports experience with the YMCA SW location. It could not have been better! Coach Brian was incredible and most of the refs were engaging and fun. We'll definitely be back for more seasons!
the programs and facilities are the best!
Low pressure and fun way to introduce my kids to various sports. The affordable cost also makes me feel better when my kids end up not liking the sport :)
Coaches, affordability, schedule, good sportsmanship
the water aerobic's classes
I am very pleased with the YMCA sports for 4/5/6 year olds. Ricardo does an amazing job
Coaches are great and very supportive. Work staff all around did a great job organizing games and schedule reminders. Thank you for your work!
Welcoming, something for everyone, lovely community vibe.
Solid, consistent with a diverse and inclusive approach.
Thank you!
My husband and I do not participate in YMCA programs or activities.
The bathrooms, sauna, hot tub, weight room, upstairs track and workout room are always clean.
The members are friendly and helpful to one another.
The YMCA downtown is closer to our home. But, we enjoy the parking availability.
Haven’t participated in any programs or activities
The opportunity for everyone to be involved. A great learning opportunity for children new to the sport
Easily accessible, affordable, good team values not overly competitive...
They are excellent and they fulfill their promises.
It’s affordable, most of the staff are respectful & helpful. Lots of locations throughout Austin. Good long hours opened.
Variety of classes offered is very good. Facility and staff are exceptional!
the option to do lessons inside depending on the weather was wonderful!
At the YMCA near Oak Hill, I use the exercise equipment and the upstairs walking trail. I am very pleased that the facility is clean, does not have loud music, and most people do not "hog" the exercise equipment. Nevertheless, a few people "hog" the equipment and do not wipe the equipment with the cleansing solution. Anyway, I enjoy my membership.
The very friendly staff for one!
If there was one thing I'd like to see it would be some Pickle Ball courts added in the outdoor space, or even shared with the existing indoor basketball court.

I love everything at the Y! Great instruction from our instructors! Everyone is super friendly and helpful! I would recommend anyone that wants community and friends to come on down!
