Member Testimonials
Convenient location; friendly professional staff. Well maintained; variety of classes.
The staff, every single one of them, is professional and very friendly. I have been enjoying the exercise classes that are offered at very convenient times. The instructors are very competent and very dedicated to the discipline and even to us, their students.
I just like the Y, although I do wish there were more classes to choose from specifically at 8am during the week.
You have well-equipped weight rooms and cardio areas.
Awesome!
I like the location and the wide variety of equipment and facilities
Friendly early morning staff. Great trainer. Great equipment.
Ease and friendliness of staff. Great equipment. Fairly well equiped locker rooms (lockers could be a tad wider) and nice sauna and steam room. Diversity of clientele
I love Crystal's Zumba class. She makes it fun while I'm sweating. I also think the spin teachers are high quality.
I attend yoga classes 2-3 days a week, have for the 6+ years we’ve lived in Austin, and thoroughly enjoy them. I use cardio equipment (usually the elliptical) on those same days and in addition to the exercise enjoy the peaceful view toward Town Lake. The friendly staff and friendly members. The fact that you do not have 85” flat screens blasting Fox and MSNBC at me.
Good classes. Good weight rooms!
You have childcare!
Presently non participating due to illness
Early morning Pilates/yoga class
Love that you have so many options for classes, especially for seniors.
Accessibility and friendliness of staff
I generally only attend the cycling classes. My sons will be joining soon. They are young adults and I very much appreciate the minimal added cost as they are both still in school.
My only requests would be to add an evening cycling class as I can never do a complete morning class due to my work hours. In addition, it is not infrequent that the bikes need maintenance and it seems to take a while for that to happen.
However, the instructors are wonderful and all the staff is always happy and friendly even at 6 in the morning!
The flexibility of schedules, specially the Zumba and spinning classes.
There is a complete range of equipment and programs
The variety.
I like the facility. I haven’t taken advantage of programs and activities
Just love the facility, especially swimming laps in the pool.
I like the senior classes on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. However, there are too many people in them. Sometimes, there are no more spaces, no more mats, and no more 3lb. weights. There needs to be a second senior class, perhaps in the 10 AM slot. We have to fight the worsening early morning Austin traffic to get to senior exercise class.
Also, Meredith is very good; but she needs to slow the pace slightly between activities to enable us to sip water a couple of times during the hour. All senior instructors need to offer exercise modifications for the 20%+ of us who have low bone density and should not be doing crunches or exercises that require twisting or forward flexion.
I like the kids sports activities, support for those with special needs, lunch time 'member' basketball, the weight room, and the sauna/steam.
Diverse and interest programs that fit every level of exercise and conditioning.
yoga classes rock.
I like that there are yoga classes in the late afternoon and on weekends so that I can come when I'm off work. I also love the indoor pool and how it is open at 5:30 am on weekday mornings so I can come in before work. The Third Coast coffee in the lobby is super tasty and my husband likes all of your rowing machines.
I love the personal training sessions with Alicia. She is very knowledgeable and pushes me more than I would do myself yet not so hard that I give up or get injured. Also, she switches up the program frequently which keeps it interesting. I recommend Alicia to others unconditionally.
