I don’t go to many classes but it’s nice to know they are available
Comprehensive facilities, friendly people, good value
I love hathaway yoga! i attended 2 classes on Saturday and Sunday 2/16-2/17 . shout out to the teacher!!
The aquatics program is terrific!
I like the options of group classes you have, but there are some changes I've heard about that may be coming to the instructors that I whole-heartedly disagree with, re: uniforms. If it's actually going to happen, I will be writing a letter to discuss further.
In short, no dance or movement instructor should "have to" wear a uniform, particularly in dance or high cardio.
I like your hours, the number of stationary bikes, Daniel, the check-in staff friendliness, the coffee, the equipment I can do sit-ups on, all ages welcome feel, the huge windows which feel cheerful to me...
The many class options at different levels - especially yoga & Pilates
Your rates are reasonable.
The facility is attractive and clean.
Staff (counter, cleaning and trainers) are friendly and seem like they really care about the Y's "customers".
You have a nice variety of classes.
We like the fact that the YMCA is an all inclusive facility; there are older adults, young children and everyone in between just having fun with their appropriate activities. Everyone is very friendly from the front desk staff to the teachers of the classes. The classes are so much fun and so varied that there is something for everyone! Oh, and don't forget the free coffee after your workout...a time to relax and regroup. A wonderful inclusion into your daily activities that is good for your mental and physical health. So glad it is here in Austin!
Group exercise, proximity to town lake trails
I don’t really do the programs or activities.
Swimming pool still excellent, clean.
What I like about down town YMCA's programs and activities is the people who make up it's practicing community: The pleasant staff, and most members. As enjoyable as the programs and activities are (my favorite is weight resistance do to large number of equipment and plenty of space) if the positive social environment wasn't present, I wouldn't show up. Smiling faces belonging to genuine folks like Ally who's at front desk at times make an uplifting difference.

workout rooms
Swimming and children’s classes.
I like the variety of programming. I use the classes the most but I enjoy that there is a variety of classes (cardio, weight training, zumba, bike, etc) and they are at a good amount of times. I think that's invaluable and great that it's included as part of the monthly fee.
I liked working with my trainer, Francisco. He helped design a program that worked with me and my health conditions.
I haven't done any of the programs, but I love the atmosphere!
The variety of equipment
My daughter, who has Down Syndrome, and I attend DSACT activities at Town Lake YMCA every weekend. We enjoy Bootcamp, Dance, and Warrior Storm. This is a great way to interact with other families like ours and stay fit at the same time. Everyone who welcomes us at the front desk is always friendly.
Kid friendly
The people! The classes! The equipment! What’s not to like?!
I like the variety and friendliness of the staff.
Teachers are great. Pool is clean. Feels safe.

My wife and I actually don't use any particular programs, we just come and use some machines. What we like so much is the character of the people behind the entrance desk, and the diverse quality of the public using the Y. We really feel at home at the Y.
