I would love to have the women's workout room open longer than just until 1:00 p.m. please.
The programs and activities for seniors have dwindle down to just about nothing.
Facilities, cleanliness, staff.
Work out programs are designed for people of all ages. Kid's activities allows our children to grow and have fun. In a healthy and safe environment. Thank You to the staff at the YMCA Houston.!!!
I love the yoga classes! At Tellepsen, the yoga teachers are REAL yoga teachers! I love Gloria and Brittany the best!!! I cannot thank the Y enough for having yoga at 9am! This is the perfect time for me! I love the POWER YOGA!!! It's so challenging and the best class ever!!! The Zumba with Julia is so fun! And Tomoko teaches a badass Body Flow! Both ladies are totally inspiring! Thank you, YMCA for keeping me fit!

I love the classes at the downtown Tellepsen YMCA, but do wish there were so a little bit later in the evening. I don't get off work until 5:30 and it seems like most of the classes start around 5:15/5:30. Even the 6:00 classes are hard for me to make. I would love to see classes starting at 6:15/6:30.
I would also love to see Barre come back to the downtown location at a time other than Saturday at 7am. I fondly remember the Tuesday evening barre class and how well attended and loved it was by the women that came every week religiously!
I liked it when there were yoga, Pilates, and body flow classes in the 4-7pm range so I could come straight from work.
The activities and programs are carefully planned and easily accessible. The "Downtown Y is a well run organization. Staff is polite and competent. Equipment is clean and well maintained. I have been a member of the "Downton Y" (now Tellepsen) for 41 years....it's an important part of my life.
I like that it is family friendly. We go work out together and have fun. There is a variety of classes. My son loves the track.
Everything is good 👍 and perfect for my family
Awesome
I attend Body Pump and Body Attack classes here and think the instructors are amazing, Especially Jihan, Laura, and Theresa Tagle.
I like that they are family friendly.
Water arobics
Love the 4th floor weight room and the Body Attack classes! (Can you guys please start closing at 10PM? It is getting packed during peak hours)
Everything...
The cleanliness and everyone is always in a good mood. Pool is awesome. Would like water arobics
Proximity and variety of facilities and equipment
I appreciate the friendly and inclusive environment. There's something for everyone, every level of ability.
I have been using the weight room for myself, sure is good to have your "Team" members watching over members to make sure they re rack weights, and don't sit on the machines talking on their phones and being rude etc. At 24 hour fitness they do not have anyone watching over the weight room, so individuals set up their I phones to video tape their work out, play their own music, sit on machines and stare into space etc..
I use the self directed exercise pool, the small pool for my 84 year old mother. It sure gets crowed with individuals providing swim lessons with their children at times. I know school is out, but yesterday you had three individuals doing re-hab exercise, while half the pool was dedicated to one person providing "swim" lessons. It appears that paying for lessons is more of a priority than individuals providing for their own rehab.
But you have one shower bathroom in the pool area. And I have to take my mother in there for her shower after working out. I have to help change her, clothes, etc.. This shower room is not labeled as a disability bathroom. And individuals who could use the regular locker rooms use this bathroom as their private locker room. Even a life guard has used it as a private bathroom for ten minutes, instead of going into the locker room. So I have to wait with my mother in wet cloths sitting in her push stroller for these individuals to finish, while they could be in the locker rooms. A disability sign would be great on that bathroom/shower area.
Thanks, First name removed
I like that more programs and classes are being added to the schedule. I hope that people can be smart and stay home if they are sick. I would love to have TRX classes added back to schedule soon too!
I love the variety of activities/classes and am excited that more are opening up. Super kudos to spin class with Thomas!!
I like body pump and swimming pool. I like the classes of Zumba with Kelly and with Mary. The two classes were offered before COVD-19. I really hope the two classes can come back now. Thank you.
Like indoor walking track.
Good selection of machines, weights, and other equipment.
Wish 2 hour free parking was 3 hours.
