Pickleball is my favorite activity. Great way to get exercise along with having fun and meeting our friends.
There is always something going and something for everyone.

The diversity. How you include the community on starting a new program like the self defense class. I really enjoyed that. 👍🏻
I LOVE all the new activities and exercise equipment. It is much more comfortable to do exercises now.
My only complaint is the mirrored walls in the exercise rooms. A lot of people who go to exercise and old like me and no longer want to see themselves.
I just joined Livestrong and like it a lot. We have a great Personal Trainer Carol, I had not been to the Facility since before the renovation. It seems very fresh and clean and well lighted.
I wish we had a Cardio workout room like before where the class can work as a group and not scattered out. All in all I feel comfortable. The lounge areas are very nice.
Staff is very friendly and attentive
Thanks Mary
Everything! Love the newly renovated facility. Just beautiful!
Love the socializing aspect. Great place to excersise. Lots of choices in classes.
I like the Senior Yoga Stretch classes at 11:00 A.M. on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday.
I really think that Caroline and Sue are both excellent instructors. These are the Silver Sneakers Yoga Stretch Classes. I like the cardio recumbent bikes and machines in the main building. Everyone (especially all of the Staff at the YMCA) is very friendly and helpful at the Y. The building and the restrooms are very clean.
Swimming
Great gym. I don't use any part of the Y other than the weight room, so I can't speak to any other aspect of the facility. But the weight training area is first rate. I work out at the McWilliams Y, the Tellepsen Y (downtown Houston) and at 24 hour fitness, and the McWilliams Y is the best maintained, cleanest and best equipped gym of the three. It has a state-of-the-art free weight room, and some great machines that I have not seen anywhere else. If I lived closer, it would be the only gym I use. My only complaint is that it got rid of all the Espresso Bikes. I loved those bikes. It seems that all the Ys got rid of their Espresso's.
One last thing, earlier today, I took a survey for the McWilliams Y, but I mistakenly thought I was reviewing the Tellepsen Y. I gave a rating of "5," partly because I don't like the equipment at the Tellepsen Y as much as the equipment at the McWilliams Y, but due more to the fact that the members at Tellepsen don't know basic gym etiquette, and very little effort is made to educate them. For God's sake people, if you are on a machine and using your phone or resting, get up and let someone else use the machine. I haven't observed this lack of etiquett at McWilliams.
Went on a Sunday to use treadmill. First time there.
I’m happy you extended the child care options. there is also always something to be involved in, such as classes for the kids, workout classes, swim lessons etc
Very Welcoming. Machines are in great condition. Nice atmosphere.
Beautiful facility and well maintained. Love having indoor and outdoor swimming options. Shady parking area also great.
love all the seniorcise classes
I'm only going to water aerobics right now.
Just visit facility
I love the classes, friendly faces and awesome atmosphere!
Pickleball is GREAT and the people involved are wonderful.
The staff is friendly and helpful.
I also like the fact that I’m not surrounded by non-English speaking people. This is not intended to be racist...but honest. At 24-Hr Fitness, very FEW in the dressing room (during Water Aerobics time) are speaking my language. THAT makes me feel like a foreigner...in my own country! (You May not want to include this paragraph)
Senior yoga, active older adults bridge,
Complaint: start using 4" toilet paper instead of the smaller stuff.
You offer Pickleball on 3 courts 5 days/week for us retired folks. The place is clean and orderly. The employees are always friendly and helpful.
Love layout of the facility! I also am pleased with the amount of classes... especially yoga classes. Thank you
Like your pickleball program
I LOVE THE Variety. We need more room in the yoga classes. I would love to see more yoga classes. Some virtual would be great.
I am just an ordinary member, I am not in any particular program but I love The "Y" for
many reason, first the staff is very courteous, the equipment are very modern, the entire place
is clean. I do not have children but I can tell that the children are well taken care of, especially
at Summer time with all the different programs.
