Sense of community
Friendly staff , clean machines, good lockers and showers and good exercise classes, esp yoga with Aleda
I’ve been going there for 2 weeks, I have really enjoyed the exercise classes and my kids like the child watch. We love it there!
Everyone is kind. Great environment. Has everything I need to get a great workout. Good classes and and instructors.
Staff is great. I ‘m here nearly day
We really enjoy the child watch experience. Especially the fact that you have grandmother-age women working there.
My family has been a little weirded out recently by seeing three unintended children hanging around the ymca. We are not sure who they are, but they do not seem to have any parents with them while they're there. They use the showers, joke around with the staff, and sit in the table area by the coffee playing video games or reading. This is for hours at a time and multiple days per week. It is a little confusing for me, because I'm not sure whether or not this is allowed or if someone is taking advantage of the fact they're familiar with some of the staff members. Other than this, which is only a recent observation, I am pleased with the Richardson YMCA.
Great, efficient staff and friendly members! Clean facilities.
Everyone is friendly - the Y has wonderful equipment and it is clean!!!
My son has had a great experience playing soccer and flag football. The coaches have been great encouragers of fun and sportmanship!
Friendly staff
The kids and families involved are extremely nice and the kind of people I want my children to be associated with.
I do wish there were more practices so the kids could get better
We love the YMCA so much! It has become Community and fellowship with neighbors, a sweet time for our kids, and has great equipment to workout. We are grateful to be members!
Wonderful people who work at the Y! Great place to work out!
We have loved our time at the YMCA!!! We have aged out after this year but will recommend to other neighborhood families.
Love the classes!
By the end of the summer of 2024, my oldest son will have played just about every sport the Y offers. The Richardson YMCA is a great experience for anyone looking for a reasonable onroad to youth sports.
Friendly staff, well-maintained facility, and usually not overcrowded.
Great environment...friendly staff.
small clean friendly
Jayceon loves the YMCA , it was his first time ever playing flag football with a child that has autism .
The Les Mills classes, primarily Body Combat.
Everything! Especially workers. They are all very knowledgeable & helpful, always with patient and friendly attitude. Clean and safe facility with great group exercise classes and instructors. Easily accessible facility just need more parking space on weekend mornings.
I was so impressed with the commitment to sportsmanship and personal development- especially how the referees helped teach the kids (1st grade) during the games rather than punish or shame them. And also how the rules make sure everyone gets a chance to play and grow.
It’s a (mostly) laid back atmosphere for kids to learn their sport and what they do/don’t like!
Community, group classes, swim lessons and Rapid team, coaches and staff
The Richardson Y is a friendly bright place that is a comfort to everyone that attends for classes, exercise, kids sports or a game of racquetball. It gives me a mental lift every time as well as a physical boost. It's a bit older and a bit crowded equipment wise when compared to the "trendy" places but it has all of what you need.
The people are friendly and welcoming that is what sets it apart from other places.
My kids went through the sports and Adeventure programs and are still both members in different cities while in graduate school. That is my best advertisement for the Y.
My child is enjoys playing organized sports. He's not naturally gifted in athletics so the Y is a perfect fit for him to continue playing organized sports in an environment where he gets to play regardless of his ability, he learns and builds on this skill and builds friendships all under a no pressure.

Location is close to my home. Everyone is helpful and friendly. Zumba Gold is my #1, especially with Sandra!
