Member Testimonials
They keep u runnin. They keep u runnin.
The facilities are pleasant, the staff greets me and solves any minor issues, parking is available, the equipment always works, and the steam room and sauna are a great way to end a workout.
The Tellepsen YMCA is clean, well lit (get that bulb changed in garage stairwell!), and well organized. Large towels available in shower facilities would be amazing, but I’m sure there are reasons for their absence. There are typical infractions of cell phone use / conversations on 4th floor regularly, people parking their trucks in hybrid / electric parking spots, and fairly constant problems with entrance / exit machinery (even despite January newbies struggling to figure it out). Michelle G, Stella, Judy, amazing amazing class leaders. Chip an excellent personal trainer. Reasonable priced membership for a facility with parking downtown. We used to receive a much lower corporate membership / group rate, but current Y economics may not allow for more significant discount(?). Thanks for all you do, always highly recommend the Y!
The staff competence and friendliness, appropriate and well-maintained equipment, convenient hours and space appropriate to number of members. However, frequent problems with parking garage ticket machines and with garage elevators are troubling and it's not clear why solutions to these have not yet been implemented.

Love the women's only center!
Thr downtown Y has a terrific fitness center with the latest machines and a great assembly of dead weights. I really enoy these plus the indoor track.
I deeply appreciate my fitness advisor, Ed Groughe, who guides me through 2 complete hourly workouts every week. I highly recommend Ed and his instruction at the downtown YMCA.
Last but not least, evryone on the Y staff is friendly and willing to help any way they can.
Lots of equipment and clean facilities. Really enjoyable environment.
Love the facility and the Child Watch Staff
Great program been with YMCA FOR about 19 year ... Great service...Great customer service...
There is so much to choose from! Something for everyone.
Membership is very complete, including a wide variety of exercise classes, racketball, pool, sauna, lots of exercise equipement. I primarily use the classes, the women's gym and the track. Other family members also use the racket ball courts.
I have had good success with my trainer Art Sherry. He is top notch.
All
The convenience of times and the variety of classes are what I like about the Y. It’s a very good value.
Different activities available.
Pool area is my fave, but I want to expand my horizons soon
Swimming takes away my stress. I would love it if there were music, energizing music...but maybe I will get water ear buds
Big and new facility. Group classes.
The instructors have great energy in all the Group Classes
Everything
Variety and availability at reasonable prices
Cardio equipment is up to date and usually available. Weight machines are slightly dated but overall good.
Cardio room has good variety of equipment.
The class options are diverse and fun. The gym itself is incredible and one of the best in Houston.
Can you please increase free parking time in Downtown YMCA to 2.5 hours? If after training you go to swim+steam room or sauna, it is not enough time to take shower. Thanks in advance!
Very Complete Gym, full I’ll kind machines, love the 2 pools, all kind a group exorcise. Love it!!
Love the group exercise classes. Would be nice if there were some later e.g. 7:30 classes offered like at the Weekley Y
Three things, the staff, the staff, and the staff LoL. Sincerely

The Tellepsen YMCA has a video variety of class excercises, in addition it has running track, swimming pools, racket ball courts, volley ball, basketball and a superb gym with state of the art equipment. One cannot find gyms with better value for money in the Downtown area.
The very friendly and welcoming staff.
