Member Testimonials
I like the instructors.
Location, location, location + a diverse/inclusive membership and, a staff who've become family are the corner stones of our Ft Bend Family Y! Our family has been active since before groundbreaking - does anyone reading this remember Doug Earl and the Greenbriar office in Stafford? Our amenities used to be top notch ... not so much anymore. Those of us who've remained active @ here feel like stepchildren: Our financial demographics have changed ... we don't have a large membership w/extra $'s to "donate" nor do we have access to those who do, evidently. The few of us who had/have donated to the "annual campaigns" aren't acknowledged: the donation plaque in our lobby is VERY OLD and does not reflect our support. Our board of directors are invisible to us. Capital improvements are needed ... more than I'm aware of I am certain. How can we get improvements? Programs have always been strong here and still are ... location, location, location / personnel, personnel, personnel!

It’s tailored to all ages
The instructor and the opportunity to interact with the other members.
Very good and organized
yoga with Kristin
I love the early morning access to workout & start my day.
The swimming pool is always clean and the lifeguards are always friendly.
Clean area , good attractions
Kristin teaches the best yoga. Also, everyone is friendly and no one trash talks, that I have heard.
For all levels
I really like your location. It has some better machines. Always quiet there. Wish you were open 7 days a week. I never know when I'll be in Ft Bend area.
I have attended the Fort Bend Y since 2016. The instructors are first rate! They are personable and provide motivating instruction. There are a variety of classes to meet the needs of seniors at various health levels. Personally, the Y has been a great adjunct to physical therapy following knee replacement surgery and during recovery from a debilitating illness. Thank you Y and Y instructors, paraticularly Mistie and Kristin!
Yoga -- Kristin especially
Child care
Enjoy the various exercise classes. Good choice of times and availability.
I enjoy the exercise classes for senior citizens. It's too bad the Y doesn't participate in the Silver Sneakers program as it did in the past.
Sheila's line dance class on Wednesday and Friday!
The best thing is the facilities are kept clean - this is very important to me. I like the easy access to the weight/fitness room.
The Fort Bend YMCA is so fortunate to have Kristin dedicated to teaching so many classes. She is AMAZING! I’ve never seen this level of commitment at a YMCA before. She is a gem!
Yoga
I knew everyone and my sons youth was spent there
Misty is a wonderful instructor!
Would she be interested in training other instructors?
The Y has a lot to offer all ages! This summer I have seen lots of kids of various ages participating in what I assume are different programs. As a senior, their "Forever Well" programs are great. The exercises are not too strenuous for older joints and are tailored to us. You can do as little or as much of the exercises as you want... no shame in stopping! The Forever Well Yoga (chair Yoga) is great. The instructors are so kind and tuned in to us seniors. During the Pandemic Days, we enjoyed the on-line Bingo and exercises. We have used 2 of the trainers there, and they are very nice and very encouraging! I would recommend the Ft. Bend YMCA!
Actually I have already gotten 3 of my friends to sign up. One more might be joining! I love Lap swim and all of Kristen Baker's classes. I've been a fan of her for at least 20 years!

If I were to tell a friend about why I love the Fort Bend Y, I would mention the friendly, welcoming climate of the building and organization, as well as the fact that the facility is clean, bright, well-equipped, and well-staffed. Thanks for all you do!
