Member Testimonials
The YMCA staff and instructors are nice and very personal!
I like the exercise classes such as the SS (Forever Combo) classes and the Stretching class. I also like that we can get a Personal Trainer to help us. I like the activities that they have for the Seniors, BD bash, book swap, coloring, and bingo. I also know that they have a game day and puzzle swap. I have not participated in those yet. I always tell people that my local Y is a life saver. I have what I call my Y friends. All great things.
Super friendly staff. Nice variety of machines
Two things I wish would change:
People allowed to sit at equipment in gym while using their phone: texting, reading, talking and not using the equipment for 10-20 minutes when others are waiting.
Wish you had Saturday hours to 4.
I love the Duncan YMCA- always clean, great staff and close to my home.
Thank you for seeking feedback
Friendly and courteous staff. Lots of options for different activities. I like seeing children around.
I have an excellent experience with the YMCA activities. The program were well, fun and welcoming. I felt encouraged to stay active and healthy. Thank you you for providing such a great experience.
Helpful staff members and well maintained facilities. I enjoy the atmosphere at the facility.
Variety, good instructors, good schedule for classes
Silver sneakers is an excellent program because of your instructors. Analisa, Sheven, and Analisa’s
substitute are all awesome instructors! I will eventually add other group classes and weights.
Everyone there are very nice. Instructors are very good. Front desk are very friendly.
I primarily use the swimming pool and, obviously, the locker room. These areas are always clean and inviting. There are directed activities that I do not participate in, but which are popular and well appreciated. Weather plays a part in the availability of the pools and the directors send regular posts to this end. I appreciate these.
The exercise room is similarly kept clean and in good order.
No, but I believe the policy regarding under aged children in the free weights area should either be eliminated or enforced.
I meet a lot of nice people and activities, my second home
Very open and warm, great equipment, attentive support staff, hours of operation
First & foremost I love tfw fact that the employees
& volunteers acknowledge us with a kind greeting along with a smile. Also there are different activities that usually everyone will find some activity they like or will like to learn.
Good Gym and Lap pool
Water aerobics and tai chi
Quite a variety of programs. Great professional staff.
I love the Duncan YMCA. It is great community place. However, one thing it can improve, is not allowing music to be playing out loud on speakers (including phone speakers). The music other people play is very unpleasant when exercising nearby, especially because it is often loud or explicit music.
Since the Duncan YMCA is such a family friendly place, there should be no room for loud, explicit music, especially when trying to exercise at one's own pace.
Unfortunately, this is a major issue at the Duncan YMCA, in both the weight room and the sauna (where a lack of music and peaceful quiet should be even more respected).
I use the Duncan YMCA often and enjoy it greatly, and often tell friends and neighbors about it. However, other YMCA's in Houston have a much better ability to limit music being played out loud by guests.
I have a great trainer Angela and it has greatly improved my life and everyone is so friendly
Excellent
The present pool hours need to be continued. Since we only need one lifeguard for each pool, why not always have an extra guard with responsibilities other than watching the pool, but is available when needed. The pool deck is always in need of sweeping, mildew removal, vacuuming the pool, or helping maintenance. Members get frustrated when the hours change. Also when the hours are shortened, you have more swimmers wanting to use the lanes. This is also disappointing to members.
When you have membership
you have choices to take classes
reasonable fees
friendly atmosphere
There are a nice variety of sports, activities, exercise programs, etc. There is something for everyone!
Me gustó muncho very very klin
I enjoy the programs offered for forever well, I just started and have not attended yet. Staff at the front are kind and very helpful showing me around
There is a robust menu of activities for all members of the family and at a reasonable cost!
I enjoy coming to the Y during the swimming classes in the morning.
It gives an excellent exercise for seniors.
Only wish that the Hot Tub could be cleaned at a time other than during the classes on Wednesday.
N/A
Many to choose from. Lots of fun, trips, bingo, birthday bash, etc, etc.
I like the water exercise program - I participate in this 4 days a week. I like the morning classes. It would be nice if there were evening sessions for those who can't be there during the day.
I appreciate the pool staff - they take great care of us and the pool.
