Really nice gym a mix of old and new equipment. Staff was really sweet and helpful. Wasnt overcrowded and was able to workout with no complications. The busy hours are between 4 and 6 p.m. so I would advise to go around 12 to 3 if looking for a pretty empty gym. Some equipment did not work but I think they are in the process of ordering new parts for certain equipment.

Fantastic staff and facilities. Everything is clean, and there is plenty of cardio and weight equipment. The lap pool is wonderful. There are classes available via video or on site for members. Financial aid is available for those who struggling with money; just ask if you qualify. This is my home location, but I can utilize the facilities at any YMCA location. Its truly a fantastic place.

So this seems like a pretty decent place everybody at the front is pretty nice and greetsyou when arrive and leave.. The only problem that I ran into is the head director of personal training department who is Renee. When I talked to her on the phone she seemed very timid and a little condescending when I was trying to get with a personal trainer. She also lied to me and told me that she was gonna give me a call back and and update me about the availability on all the trainers and never did. Otherwise everybody else that works there is pretty nice and the instructors in all the classes that I have tried are very friendly and experienced.

Back to my hometown, back to the Austin YMCA where took swimming lessons. Happy, happy. Great to see theyve kept the facility up-to-date, gym equipment, mats, accessories, and class workout rooms. Whats so special is its mission around community, programs, non-profit. Julie, Ill be joining shortly!

The coolest YMCA on the entire planet,Everybody on the whole staff goes out of their way to make sure you have the best experience possible,The weight room/cardio floor is state of the art,All classes are fun and challenging,And theres one specific life guard who works at the pool, I think his name is Tony, the coolest guy ever, probably could a been a model instead but chooses to be of service to his community, and hes one of the greatest swim instructors in the entire history of the YMCA.The rest of the aquatic staff is pretty cool also.Also all the ones who run the classes are perfect 10s, basically the best looking staff, all of them have hearts of gold.11/10 place I would recommend for the whole family 😁

Loved the place. Tons of activities, affordable subscription, great teachers.

I love the Y! How much? So much that I continued to pay for my membership during Covid-19, when I didn’t have access to their facilities. I understood that the Y is so much more than a gym.They help feed low income families, they provide low cost childcare, they have programs to keep kids engaged instead of on screens and so much more!However, they are also an awesome gym! Indoor pool, hot tub, steam room, sauna, endless cardio machines, weight machines and AMAZING group fitness classes from Zumba to yoga!Did I mention free childcare while you’re working out from professionals that love kids? That’s also there. I have been a member for 12 years and won’t ever leave.

Love it here. Definitely not as busy as it used to be but is still pretty busy. Buy it has everything that you could want from a gym

Excellent!! The staff was extremely accommodating for my buddy with special needs. My faith in the human race has been restored. Special thanks to Julie and Maya of the Y staff. We are greatly appreciative.

...one of the best YMCA gyms Ive ever visited...

Love this location great staff great community very thankful and bless...yall are the best!

I LOVE TOWNLAKE YMCA ITS ALWAYS LOTS OF SPACE HERE FOR EVERYONE TO ENJOY

So pleased to be back. A bit nerve-wracking being in a confined space with maskless, heavy breathers but I will get over it. Thanks for all you do YMCA.

The people are extremely friendly! And the staff is always helpful.

The best Y with the Best equipment and the BEST STAFF. I LOVE MY TOWNLAKE Y❤

Wow! What a ComeIntoUnity HUB. This place is my sanctuary, truly.So open and embracing.Incredible heart-centered staff.Clean as a showcase Ferrari.Hot coffee at ones convenience!Or hot water for medicinal TEA!HUGE basketball gym upstairs.Communal dry sauna & steam room.Coldest shower right next to hot tub.SALT water pool.

She bridged so many vast gaps for me, my family, and TRIBE to therapeutically reboot here as often as possible.SO. MUCH. LOVE.>

Extremely friendly staff and wonderful community.The facilities are great value. Most equipment isnt sparkling new, but they have about everything

Amazing people, well maintenenced machines, super nice people.

First off before I get to the programs and activities Id like to comment on how the Townlake YMCA is one of the cleanest gyms I have EVER been to. I love that the staff takes temperatures before you get to enter the gym and that each member receives a disinfectant spray bottle to wipe down the machines you use. ALSO, the staff members are super polite and friendly each in their own way. I feel as welcomed into the gym as I do when I exit it. If there was an award for a top tier gym, I would vote for Townlake YMCA. Oh yeah, the programs and activities are nice too.

New facility, so fresh and so clean!! Love this location. Very nice pool. Small group classes. Everyone wears a mask religiously. Thank you, YMCA! Job well done 💪🏽

Its #Townlake .. a well oiled, tool/life changer for the community of Austin! #DiamondInTheRough#TakeCareOfHer #BodyForLife

The staff here is always friendly and welcoming. I feel safe working out here and enjoy the diversity of people who use YMCA townlake as their primary gym.

Fantastic choice of classes & times. Elena is an amazing teacher and person. I will miss Elena’s, Amy’s and Barbara’s classes so much

This place is buzzing. Swimming lessons for kids are the best!

Friendly and patient staff.Good selections of summer camps.

Having moved to Austin during the pandemic, it was a breath of fresh air to find the welcoming staff, and wonderful facilities and programs offered at the Townlake YMCA.Many thanks to Shaylin Collins who is an excellent personal trainer and I am so happy that I signed up twice a week for her to guide me on my new fitness journey!

Pools good but locker rooms are old and Rusty

I like that the staff seems genuinely happy to be there, each and everyday. At other gyms, there is some degree of obligation to work that I sense from the staff rather than feeling excited to be there.Although I do not have a family or children, I love how the Y feels like a community, cares about its members, and serves families in big ways.It makes me proud to spend my time there and contribute to what makes the Y what it is.

Impossible to find a gym this cheap and this good. Best bang for your buck Ive ever seen.Only complaint is the fact it closes at 8PM

Thank you YMCA for letting me, a non members, shower and clean up after losing power and water for a week. The city would have been a colder stinkier place without the likes of you!

The staff is very Friendly and helpful, it is a very Clean. I will feel safe working out there. Check it out.

Their leadership has been really unethical. I literally never leave reviews, but I’m so upset with this one. I canceled my membership back when the pandemic started (march) and have never given permission to restart that membership. That said, I found out recently that they had been charging me since June and only sent an email stating they were automatically restarting my membership even though I wanted to cancel my membership all together. When I realized what happened I called and was essentially told that they wouldn’t honor my cancelation and used their email notification (that went to spam) as an excuse to keep over $400 of my money. To be clear, I haven’t set foot in a gym since early March. This is just poor business ethics. Will never use a YMCA again.

Its an awesome gym! Three stories with a huge basketball court, swimming pool, a huge variety of machines, and a nice free-weight floor in ther basement with really nice squat racks and Hammer Strength equipment. They are very safe in regards to Covid. They require masks and give each member spray for all the equipment and everything is spread out. One of the best YMCAs Ive been to.

Social distancing practices are in place and you get your own bottle of sanitizing spray at check in to use on the equipment you use. Masks are required which is fine with me.

I enjoy the classes that they offer, the app makes it super easy to sign up for them.

Love this place. Great covid protocols. Beautiful pool and nice facility. The staff are so welcoming and friendly.

I love this location! Its clean, newer, and the staff is so friendly. Its difficult to get to after work because of traffic but can be done. They also have a 3 hour lane swim for women only on Sunday mornings. Its so great! Im a big believe in YMCA and have been a member in both Canada growing up and now in Austin. With a membership you have access to all Austin YMCA locations which makes finding a time for class very easy and also having a location close to work and close to home also! SO convenient for me.

I love YMCA Townlake!! Customer service is great and the group class instructors keep me coming back! The place is always clean and tidy. They have also kept me feeling safe during COVID with all of their protocols. I highly recommend YMCA Townlake for a friendly gym with lots of equipment!!

Super work out facility.

The friendly staff make it a joy to go to the Y!

Great gym - plenty of equipment, all cleaned regularly. Location fantastic, right beside the lake downtown, so trail runs are easy before or after a session.

Go to exercise once twice maybe three times a week if possible need to keep it up to bring my weight down

I like the various classes and the flexibility offered by the instructors. I also appreciate that most of the fitness classes are for any fitness level and can be modified to suit your own fitness level. Membership is very affordable compared to other gyms in the area, and their personal training packages are also much more affordable compared to most other gyms. The only thing that keeps me from giving 5 stars, is that the actual gym space with equipment is very small.

Great Location, great price, doing their best to accommodate under covid-19 restrictions.

Great staff!

A Great Workout! Great Staff! @Townlake YMCA!!

Great place! And Clean!! Ruth Delacruz Above and beyond!

Central location great swimming pool with floor to ceiling windows, sauna, hit tub a steam room. All very clean and well maintained. Conscious life guards and other staff, lots of workout equipment and group exercise classes. Theyve got an in house child care center where you can leave your child for free for an hour. In my friends words, the fanciest Y Ive ever seen.

Great facility with lots of options.

We like to swim for exercise in the evening and this facility has an olympic size pool and its indoors! The building has very high ceiling so the smell of chlorine is not overwhelming! The staff is great! Just make sure to always lock your car and not leave your valuables visible!

Renee Deeter has kept fit the Ys active senior population. Her classes are rigorous. Her leadership in connecting with seniors is a gift to Y senior members. I attribute my continued fitness during the months of lockdown to her commitment to the senior community. Thank you. Sallie Sharp

Super clean, super friendly, super safe! Jude and Elena are amazing!

So far I love being able to work on toning my muscles on your weight machines while my son is in your daycare & when I’m done with my workout, we both get to swim. He’s an 8 month old, only child and we love that he can interact with other kids and people. There is a true sense of community here.

I love this facility! The weight area is great, lots of machines to choose from and you never have to wait. Classes are high quality, with high quality instructors. The Boxing class is great for all levels. I also really like that everyone at the desk is always friendly and helpful (especially Cale!). I love the free coffee and the community library in the lobby, its super cozy! Also we are so lucky at this Y to have an amazing, talented and genuinely caring Director like Jude Hickey. Going to this Y is the best part of the day. Thanks to all the staff who makes it so great.

Great cross section of Austin. Not full of your stereotypical gym bros, and has a much more laid back vibe than a lot of gyms Ive been to. Awesome, friendly staff. Nice equipment, and by gym standards, very clean.

Pretty nice!

I like how the Y offers activities and classes for all ages and abilities. My favorites are the kids sports, Zumba, yoga, spin classes, and kid swimming lessons. I also love the Y’s wonderful childcare. Our daughters enjoy the young kid’s Hang Time and the activities for the older kids. Love our time at the YMCA Townlake!!

So if you are looking for great place to workout in-town consider this location. They have live music in the lobby on Fridays during the lunch hour, clean facility with equipment in excellent working order. Group exercise classes are great! Community center. Gets busy but usually can find parking. ADA friendly. Host community programs too.Join today!

I love visiting down town YMCA do to its overall very pleasant environment. Though it has a large number of equipment and plenty of space, my prime reason for visiting to exercise is the pleasant friendly staff, and most members being congenial. Ally who sometimes is at reception desk always genuinely smiles. Andy is another favorite staff member who lets me know he really loves me as another human being by telling me to shut up. (no irony intended) I love it. Different characters shinning their love light into the world in their own style. Authentic, uplifting, and I wouldnt have it any other way. People like these enhance my experience at the Y. :)

You should know your fees go for the Y to be mean to poor people trying to better their lives. Caleb is super smug and entitled.

Very nice and clean. Grreat staff

The staff and patrons are extremely friendly. Great sense of community and belonging! The promotion of good health and wellness is encouraging and inspiring!

Conveniently located on the edge of downtown Austin, this YMCA is a decent gym to utilize in town (though I would guess not the best you can find in a major city like this).There is plenty of parking located adjacent to and out front of the building.The layout of this gym is odd - too many different rooms and pieces of equipment spread out throughout the building.Overall good for a quality workout (and relatively clean environment), this is a good location.

The Y is a good no BS place to workout. The new mobile app is very good. For example, it recognizes when I am walking up to the front door and presents my digital membership key that I then use to check in.I dont take advantage of all the classes, but the ones that I do are very good and included in the membership fee.

The staff/policies are wayyy over the top and obnoxious regarding their covid policies. I finally cancelled my membership after they wanted everyone to carry around one of their spray bottles full of disinfectant to disinfect (not wipe down) everything they touched. Apparently I wasnt disinfecting a barbell the way the staff member liked it (because i dont work there) and he threatened to kick me out. I switched to the south austin Lifetime because i can actually work out there without some dork bothering me twice a day

Closed today due to weather?? It’s a normal day, no rain yet and barely below zero. What a joke

I came here to workout while out of town and I’m jealous this facility is not closer to home. The staff was friendly, the place was clean and I loved the different areas available to work out. Lots of space and equipment and I loved the coffee station. The entrance has lots of seating to sit back, relax and enjoy some coffee and soak in the sun. Lots of group classes too! My only disappointment was that there wasn’t more Body Combat classes in the schedule (its my fav Les Mills workout). If I come back to Austin, I’ll make it a point to get a workout at this location again!

The warm training pool is awesome. The close proximity of the hot tub makes it even better. I can relax a bit in the hot tub and still watch my kids play.The fact that the WARM training pool is virtually uninterrupted from open swim is the best and most fair idea. My kids love swimming and the fact that we can go swimming year round is worth the monthly fee.

Me and my best friend brought our kids to the indoor pool. It was comfortable, clean and safe. The lifeguards were attentive and friendly. We had a blast and will definitely return!

Good if youre a member. Im not sure at the moment if non-members are welcome.

Best YMCA I have ever been to. The people here are friendly and they have a great Child Watch staff. I enjoy the atmosphere here.

Great service and great equipment! They even know me by my first name!

The olimpic size pool is awesome! always clean and all the crew are so kind, highly recomended, best place for practice croll

Shawn with ARC, trainer is awesome!

I love the Y! The front desk staff always have a smile on their faces and are super helpful. Ive been in a personal training program with Michael the past two months and Ive seen so much improvement! He is very knowledgeable and I would recommend him to anyone!

Pretty solid gym. Has a deadlift platform, lots of squat racks, good selection of machines. Never TOO crowded. Could use a few more benches - they go fast during after-work hours. Otherwise a good value.

Great YMCA, I feel like it does not get the credit it deserves for the price you pay. I love the classes and the instructors are very passionate & experienced in what they do. They have new equipment and most people are good at wiping it down.

The classes are challenging but easy to modify as my fitness level changes. The facilities are clean, the amenities are awesome and there’s no awful music!The highlight of my week is the Saturday morning Vinyasa class and CXWorks at East Communities.East Communities is my home gym, but I go to North Austin on Tuesdays to use the hot tub and indoor pool, and Town Lake on Fridays and Sundays to go to some classes and use the steam room.I wish there were more choices on Sunday morning. I’ve been going to body pump at town lake and it’s very crowded. I’m often finding it hard to do push-ups etc because there’s another person immediately behind me.

Its good to be back! Please use initials, not my name.

Its a great place to work out and so much more. Besides being receptive to feedback, the Y serves the entire community and a diverse group of people. Best gym membership ever.

There is something here for everyone. Even parents can have a break from the little ones and take a class relax in a pool, sauna, or read the news paper and have a coffee. Busy but big and layed out well. The staff are there for your experience and safety. Plus it is surrounded by great open spaces/parks hike and bike 👣.and the list goes on.

Way too many chemicals in the pool & hot tub today. Im still super itchy after 2 showers, & developed a headache from it.Usually great tho

First time there, clean and well staffed. Of course very busy. Recommend not going through back door.

Good place to go if your serious about your physical health, or even your mental health. They have great community programs, all kinds of classes you can take. Great staff and trainers.

I just took a train from Austin to San Antonio and I must say I was impressed by the Austin Amtrak station. The place is small, but it has a couple of vending machines and the bathrooms were spotless. I am fairly certain its due to the close eye of the ticket-man Curtis. He was helpful, prompt and honest. I can attest to his honesty because while waiting for the train I overheard him refunding an old lady who hadnt realized shed paid twice for the same ticket.I wish more people rode trains in the U.S.

The staff is great and they have a large pool, dry sauna with a steam room. As well, they have an indoor basketball court and large rooms for classes. Unfortunately, the space for free weights ( moldy smelling basement) is too small for the number of members. If you like free weights then do not join this gym unless you can workout at 3:00pm, each day. Parking is terrible, unless you can workout at 3:00pm. This gym would be better off if they moved the circuit training machines out of the basement and find room for them in one of the underutilized classroom spaces. The basement could be set up for free weights only. If they changed this configuration then I would give them 5 stars, but they wont. 😢 Either way, this gym is far superior to most of the franchise gyms like Golds. The membership cost is on a sliding scale, so it is based on what you can afford. The staff is really kind and friendly and I have never felt ripped off by the gym. Basically, the people make this gym and the family atmosphere is great. Watch out for the guy who drives the white camaro though, he is a nut! 😜

Love this YMCA. Clean, bright and friendly staff. The gym has 4 heavy bags downstairs, pool, steam room, sauna, plenty of cardio machines and good weights area downstairs too.

I like the fun, community atmosphere at the YMCA with no pressure. I feel like Im part of an organization doing good work in my city and improving the lives of everyone in the community. I am happy to be part of an organization that cares about me as a member and cares about giving back to the community, rather than an impersonal corporate chain gym that views me solely as a revenue source.

They have an amazing LiveStrong program to help cancer survivors get themselves back to living a more functional life. I was unable to even grocery shop for more than an hour before the program and afterward I was able to take my children to the zoo. It was amazing. I have maintained my membership at the Townlake YMCA so that I can keep up with the skills I developed during the program and to move on up from there.

Kid care is exceptional. equipment is great. pool is clean and well-maintained. staff is kind and helpful.

Great place to go if you are a fan of workout gyms you will find every kind of workout equipment here in addition to the swimming pool

Love the classes here. Plus its downtown location is good for me. Much improved from years past. Still a little dated but feels nicer than the hyper gyms.

Ive been going to the YMCA for over a year. I enjoy working at using quality equipment that is provided. And I have access to anything fitness related to steam saunas to stair climbing machines. And I can even relax and study while having a cup of coffee. Awesome place.

Very affordable discount for veterans!

This is the best gym Ive ever been a member of in the 30 years that Ive been working out. Its clean, easy to navigate, filled with very nice, workable equipment, and has a very friendly staff. I love the nice early morning crew that checks me in. Theyre always smiling and chatty. If you cant find your working out happy place amongst all they offer here, youre not going to find it. They have so many classes, a large gym area, and a large swimming area. They are also right across the street from the Hike and Bike Trail if you just need to get some fresh air! They also have a very nice lobby area with free coffee. Great for lingering and meeting other memebers. ITS FUN TO STAY AT THE Y-M-C-A!

Great location. Friendly staff. Free classes with membership. Only $20 (a year!) to add a spouse/friend to your membership. Beautiful lobby. Great little coffee truck outside.

The staff is awesome, uplifting and energetic. I really enjoy the classes including Body Pump and CXWorX. The location is perfect for combining outdoor runs with indoor weight lifting, too.

Great group exercise program - many different classes, all offered on multiple days/times.

Ive been to a few Ys around the Austin area and this one is my favorite. Been going here for about a month and now that the honeymoon stage is over I can honestly say that they have plenty of machines and stations to get a great workout. Parking is the pain point here but the location is great. The staff is always helpful too. Im going to continue working it here.

We loved the track program this season. The staff is amazing.
