Warm pool
My grandsons love it and are learning.
the variety of classes and activities.
The instructors are very good with the kids .They really patient with my kiddos. I would like to see a Gymnastic class be offered at the Southwest Branch. I have been asking for about a year and I never get a response from anyone.
Great place! Family minded!
Small classes
Your once-new and state-of-the-art facilities (though much is in need of maintenance and improvements). Your (mostly) polite, cheerful, and helpful staff.
What I don’t like is the recent temperature of the indoor pool, which has been too warm (over 90 degrees!) for safe aerobic exercise; the insufficient time spent in aerobic exercise in Jolyn Turner’s AquaFit classes. The low priority the Southwest Y staff gives to providing qualified staff and equipment support to its water aerobics classes in general.
And of course, I don’t like parking, especially when I have to park in the back lot. I think y’all do about the best you can with what you’ve got, though, and I like that.
I like that all people are able to participate. It does not matter age or physical ability.
Accidentally ended up in a Saturday Zumba class due to scheduling snafu at the Town Lake Y. It was a great class and I truly love that the YMCA is a community hub.
Great place. Lots of activities, more machines and free weights than you can count. Inside and outside pools for exercise and relaxing. Employees could not be better.
Only inconvenience --parking can be difficult from time to time.
Friendly
Variety, good instructors.
Dislike when one instructor, Leigh, repeatedly screams Oh My God! While teaching Less Mills classes at the Austin Southwest location. This is supposed to be a Christian organization.
Wonderful
good variety

I like the water activities. Especially when the water is warm.

Exercise class, kids swim lessons and pool
Just into my 2nd month w/ Sr low impact class. Helping me.
I like the senior class offerings.
I like that there are not too many people late at night when I prefer to go. The people there are nice and friendly. I like the spinning room particularly.
swim aerobics
I just swim don't use any programs, but the 3 people that normally alternate at the front desk should all be given a raise. Although I normally feel pretty good, there are those that go there that have a positive attitude change in their lives, by the way they are treated when they walk in the door. It's true that very few ever express themselves to those that are making their lives better even though I have tried to encourage them to do so. I guess it is just up to ya'll, they need to hear it.
