Member Testimonials
I like having pickleball 3-4 days a week.

Staff
Lots of fun!
Love Tom’s stretch and exercise classes. I’ve had 3 friends join after they came as my guest.
In addition to the various programs, I like the small size of the place which creates a homey atmosphere, I hope the panned expansion does not undermine that. I have been to the 34th St Y and found it to be way too busy and uninviting.
I love classes with Tom. Exercise can be fun with the right teacher and some awesome music!
I’m hoping the updated Y will have better workout equipment. The variety isn’t great.
It's close to my home and I enjoy the one class I take there. I don't participate but I think it's nice to have a place where the elderly can gather and socialize. I also enjoy the friendliness of staff and members who exercise with me.
Great
I feel like I belong to a great big family.

Everyone is friendly. Come in to excersice on machines. It's close to my house , if I had to I could walk to the ymca. I have mentioned to a couple of people, they need to try coming to the y.
The Y activities, such exercise, learning and social are tremendously enjoyed by myself and my friends at the MD Anderson YMCA. The staff and employees there are super friendly and accommodating. We have a cohesive group at MD Anderson, not like any other Y I have attended.

Elliot is a fantastic instructor and creates a community in his classes. I can truly say I’ve maintained my membership because of him.

Youth and Senior programs
So far I have used only the equipment in the cardio room (treadmill, bike, stair stepper) and the Precor weight machines; everything is well maintained, lean, staff are great (shout out to Andy) and best of all, it’s never so crowded that I needed to wait for equipment that I want to use
Instructors, Eliot. Luncheons, special activities for older adults.
A smaller Y, but always super clean and the staff is very friendly and helpful.
When I walk in and Andy greats me it’s like I entered my home. Like if he is saying Hi Mom. And the instructors are so fun to spend my morning and afternoon with.
