I love the Boerne Y. The number and variety of classes, plus awesome instructors, is wonderful. Most of the staff are friendly and helpful. I do sometimes feel that regular checks are not made to see if the paper towel dispensers are empty, disinfectant spray bottles need filling, Kleenex boxes are needed, etc. Of course, that may be due to a low number of staff, due to budget constraints. I was disappointed during the month of July with the Pilates Reformer program. Kiera is on maternity leave. Miryam gave early notice that she would need to be in NYC with her daughter for a special ballet program. However, no substitute instructors were found for any of Miryam's classes. I have to be at my job at 7:30am, so can only attend evening classes and on Saturdays. Miryam teaches on Tuesday evenings and Saturday mornings, so for three Saturdays and two Tuesdays in July, there were no classes available. I feel like I did not get my $125 worth. I know things like this happen, but I hope that in the future, when advance notice is given by an instructor of an impending absence, a better plan can be put in place. Having said this in what I hope to be a constructive manner, I cannot imagine life without the Boerne Y. It is truly a friendly, welcoming place that offers something for everyone. Since I became a member of the Boerne Y many years ago, it has changed my life. My health is better and I have made some very good friends. Thank you!
The staff are friendly and willing to help. the equipment is excellent, the facilities very nice and Selma does a great job as manager! thank you
Great instructors and I love the group classes.
Add a few more classes similar to boot camp and HIIT. They are popular and if you aren’t glued to your phone to sign up you can’t get in. I only do classes, so it’s very frustrating
The main room where classes are held needs to be enlarged. If I invite others, then I might not get a spot in the classes I like at the times I like.
The atmosphere at the YMCA is much more welcoming than another gym i was previously a member of.
Opens too late on Saturday and should be open at least Sunday afternoon. Needs a pool
Great variety of classes, great instructors, clean facilities
Conveniently located, wonderful instructors
Everyone is friendly and machines are never out of order for long. The machines are great and cardio equipment makes working out easier with the tv options. I also love how I can charge my phone or headphones on the machines.
The paper towels and disinfectant are often out by the afternoon. Also, trash is usually full. The disinfectant soaks into the paper towel and is not efficient when wiping machines. Also, there should be more of them to encourage cleanliness. Pre-moistened wipes would work well.
The facility is always clean and the bathrooms are well kept. The parking lot is always clean too. I’m always impressed how this place is much cleaner than other higher end gyms I’ve been to. Great job!
I’ve been noticing some women have been wearing bikini tops and sports bras in the gym which is kind of inappropriate.
Is it possible the YMCA could have a small concession stand for drinks and some snacks. The water from the water fountain is not pleasant so the option to buy water or a sports drink would be helpful. Adding in some snacks would benefit anyone who might have low blood sugar or needs a pick me up after their workout.
I kinda wish the staff would wear name tags. I love talking to all of them but feel awkward asking their names. The staff is always so friendly and kind. They say hello with a smile when I come in and always wave goodbye. They are the reason I stay at the ymca even though it’s far from my house. I know I wouldn’t get that hospitality anywhere else.
Overall, I love this YMCA and would recommend it. It’s a great place to workout.
I love the instructors
I really enjoyed my visit.
As more members join, classes are at a max and likely hood of getting into a class is low
Clean, friendly staff, I am enjoying the Pilates reformer class which is the reason I joined.
It’s a friendly place with great teachers and many wonderful offerings.
Very good staff and customer service
Get staff and very clean facility.
Great atmosphere and people. I really like the new hydro massage chairs and coffee bar addition. Not a 10 because I wish there was a pool!
The Boerne Y is a great location for me and my kids to prioritize health and wellness !
It is extremely difficult to get spots in the reformer classes which are the sole reason I joined the Y and pay the monthly reformer fee. I am truthfully thinking about canceling though. Some of the ladies in the classes are extremely unwelcoming acting like you took their friends spot and shouldn’t be there. The instructors have always been very nice and professional though.
I’ve been to different YMCA’s before and Boerne remains my favorite. And of course, it all depends on primarily what you are looking for…racquetball, basketball, swimming, weights, cardio machines, etc.
My wife and I especially loved our instructors for their genuine care and commitment to our exercise routines. In particular Kerry (stretch/balance), Kathleen (bike/spin), Shawndra, Cheryl & Suzanne (Pilates).
I very much enjoy going to the Y and it is helping me achieve my goals. The staff is very friendly. The only issue I have is many times people will sit on the weight machines for 10-15 minutes just talking to friends and there will be a few of us waiting to get on these machines to finish our workout. I've seen it happen to others while walking on the treadmills upstairs.
Staff is very ehlpful and nice.
I love the friends I have made at the Boerne Y. The instructors are wonderful. The number of classes are amazing.
