East Communities YMCA

I have been doing swimming lessons for the last two months at East Communities YMCA, and I have had such a great time. I started taking beginner adult lessons with Jen back in July, and she was wonderful. So patient and helpful. I gained a great deal of confidence in just a month. I have also attended her Aqua Fit classes on Tuesday and Thursday evenings, and they are amazing! I began intermediate adult lessons in August with Ruvi, and he is such a gem. I felt so lucky to have such a patient and upbeat instructor as I progressed to more challenging swim strokes. He has the perfect feedback style for my personal preference. He's clear and firm with his instruction, but he also cheers me on even when I'm not perfect. He's truly the best! I have also had fantastic experiences with the front desk staff and other individuals around the Y. The entire staff has made me feel very welcome.

Great Place, exceptional staff! Always clean I have made this a part of my daily routine.A tennis court , with self play wall would be nice. This is absolutely a favorite of mine! Additionally I want to give a Big Shout out to Youth Camp Counselors. The children are our future! Great Job YMCA

Family physical and mental fun! The gym fam/trainers are great! Im always motivated to go lift! They are always helpful and the best at their jobs. They have a heavy bag so I literally learned punching combos there. They also have a boxing class for youth.

Amenities on the east side are very lacking so that there is a ymca location at all is a bit surprising. What is not surprising is that this location is underserving an underserved community. Outside pool, 3-4 weight benches, no spin classes, overcrowded yoga classes and generally worn out. There is ample parking and it is conveniently located on the Walnut Creek bike trail. Nice playground and next to the golf course. Staff was very nice but cancelling a membership is its own sort of nightmare.

While the price/value and pool facilities are a bright spot the undersized and incredibly unbalanced array of gym equipment makes this an awful experience every time I go. 3 squat racks and 2 benches is a sad excuse for a gym of this size, especially when the town lake Y has 4x the amount and is the only other Y in Austin

This YMCA has been wonderful, I don't have anything bad to say at all, my children and I are respected, the staff here are very friendly and respectful, staff like 'Abby' bring us smiles because of how outgoing she is, all the staff here are great, I believe this is what makes this location ideal for me and my children!

Just tried my first Zumba class with McKenna, I loved it! Even though I have two left feet, I was able to keep up! I love the music selection!
