Member Testimonials
I like everything about it & especially the swimming pool & the great & friendly customer service & the various fitness classes.
Keep it up.
Thanks
Solid coaches for group exercise
I love that classes truly feel open to anyone at any skill level. I love the trainers on site.
I love the pool and jacuzzi and steam room. I love that walking in feels like I’m surrounded by all facets of Austin.
I love the saunas, the staff is incredibly helpful and always seem to be happy, and the facilities are very well maintained. The diversity of age and ability and overall welcoming atmosphere make the Townlake YMCA feel like a genuine fulfillment of the promise of the Y as a community resource for everyone. I love love love it and thank you!
i love the affordability factor. I have also taken a variety of group fitness classes as well as some smaller workshop type classes, boxing, for example, and I really enjoy the instructors, the autonomy of the classes matter, and the loyal participants. I have been affiliated with YMCA for my entire life; I received my swim earliest swim instruction from a YMCA, and later was on a youth rec swim team, and later yet became a YMCA swim instructor, life guard, and coach. I have beena member at a YMCA in every U.S. city I have ever lived in, and I love the Y.
The location is amazing! And we love the classes.
Love the Cardio Fusion and Zumba classes, wish there were weight classes other than Body Pump.
I am satisfied with all the employees and how they treat me if I am a foreign citizen. YMCA is the best!
They allow for mindfulness of body - slow, holding, focued
There are many classes and programs to choose from and everyone is so nice and willing to help.
It us a great location + friendly staff. Clean, inviting. I love that they the garden we walk past to enter.
Using the App, I csn quickly determine lap time availability, as well as schedule class participation. Staff is always friendly and welcoming. Great environment, facilities, and access.
That there are aplenty of choices.
My favorite is resistance with weights.
And I reward self with sauna area use.
Excellent instructors, especially Maggie C at Body Pump and Sarah at Yogalates
My husband and I work out at the Townlake Y at least twice a week. We have a personal trainer who we have worked with for over 2 years. We wouldn't give it up for anything!
I enjoy the variety of group exercise classes, especially Zumba, the cardio dance ones, Bodybalance
Friendly and accessible to all levels.
Diversity & quality of choices of activities & instructors.
people are welcoming
I like the Chair Yoga class on Monday, and we would like more than one offering per week!
Lots of choices for most levels of activities. What is lacking is classes for the senior friendly, physically challenged, and disabled people at the Indoor Instructional Pool. My understanding is they had them previously but discontinued them. When I had a knee replacement, I underwent aquatic rehabilitation for several weeks, but insurance only covered it for those few weeks. The classes were in a warm therapeutic pool designed to ease joint stress and improve mobility. Town Lake has this type of pool, but there are no classes for this activity. If the YMCA would offer classes to the 3 groups mentioned earlier, I believe it could be a great resource for the members to continue vital lifelong therapy. Local doctors and other professionals could recommend this type of service to their patients. YMCA would be offering services to neglected classes of people who are not as active as other members. In my experience, all 3 groups are using the instructional pool. Please give further attention to this matter.
Diversity in activities and members, positive influence on citizens
Lots of great classes for all ages and fitness levels, an incredibly friendly and helpful staff, and a great vibe.
I love the pool and that you open at 5am during the week. wish you opened earlier on the weekends...
