Quality instructors
The downtown YMCA offers a wonderful variety of individual as well as group activities and a skilled staff that are always friendly and helpful! I particularly enjoy the great mix of people I regularly see in the classes I take and many have become new friends. I would encourage anyone seeking to get in shape or stay in shape to try the downtown YMCA, I know they won’t be dissapointed!

The staff are always so friendly, the variety of classes is great, and the amenities are amazing for the price. I can't believe it gives me access to all the locations in Austin and even locations around the country. I tell people about how great the YMCA is all the time!
The ymca at downtown is so welcoming, friendly and easy to get involved with. I appreciate that classes that are closed often are available and allow me to participate.
The instructors are seasoned and pleasant. The fitness trainer I worked with is so accepting and so knowledgeable. She took me in my broken, unconditioned state, and guided me through the perfectly matched for my level, training sessions.
I’ve attended gyms all my life and currently belong to 3 other gyms and but by far this is the most welcoming, has great equipment, clean facilities, and has qualified competent trainers and class instructors. I can’t say enough good about the place.
The regular noon on Thursday Body Pump instructor is great!
Various programs and location is fantastic!
