I like the flexibility of what is offered. I like the environment and ambiance of the Town Lake Y.
Sense of community and price.
community centered
Jude is amazing. He should get a raise. He is always patient,nice, and has learned the names of all the kids in the track program. Don't lose him!
I love the Y Town Lake! What would make it better? Please, please get better WiFi. I can't stream Netflix, and that helps me stay on the cardio machines longer.
Also, on the app, please make it show updated holiday hours without having to call someone. Besides that, when I tried to call Town Lake, I got sent to the corporate office--NOT HELPFUL!! It would also be nice if your app could show announcements, like when the AC is out. Up-to-the-minute information is a huge part of having an app.
Thanks!
BTW, I am taking Ashley's Cap10K training class; it is fantastic!! Also love Sophie's Body Pump classes--or anything else she teaches; great enthusiasm and helpful fitness tips.
I am in favor of adding a 6am Wednesday body pump class with Sophie! She's a great instructor!
The community the Y fosters creates a space that lifts your spirit, body, and mind.

The classes and environment energy people friendly and of course showers
A variety of programs offered for all ages and activity levels.
I love that Town Lake Y is so welcoming and easy-going. I never feel I have to be competitive -- it's a great place to work out at your own pace and in your own way.

Genial and restorative yoga
The great teachers
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.
Great location and facilities
Everybody is friendly.
Inclusive, community-minded and welcoming to all.
Great variety.
Engaged staff.
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.

I like the classes you have for seniors, and the social life that brings to many elderly people.
