Great facility
The main thing that tempts us from moving away from the Y is the hours at the gym end too early on weekdays.
Every aspect of the experience at the Y at O P Schnabel Park is outstanding. The facility, the classes, the childcare, the events, the staff. They have built a true community. I met one of my best friends in San Antonio when she was teaching a tiny tumblers class that I enrolled my 18 month old in. My husband and I keep our sanity because we can have date nights (even if it's just staying home!) for 'Parent's Night Out' and the kids look forward to it all week. I recommend this branch of the SATX YMCA to everyone in our area.
I am a new member and I received a nice introduction to the facility and help/guidance on all the equipment by Keisha one of the personal trainers there. Facility is always clean. I recommend this YMCA!
Very nice community
Awesome friendly staff, great members, Christian values
Coach Sam was amazing with the Tony Tumblers class!
Staff are friendly and helpful. The facility is dated. I wish there were more showers near the pool.
* It's a gamble to sign up for the kids classes. The quality varies quite a bit.
* The class schedules are posted really late and so it's difficult to make plans.
* The full schedules are often only in paper form on site. The pool schedule for example is partially online, but the slide schedule is not posted. It's also not posted online when swimming lessons are. This is a pretty common experience that the app doesn't have the same schedules and so it's difficult to make plans
* The prices keep going up, and there are a lot of things that YMCA does, we don't have the lifestyle to take advantage of all of it, so we are paying a pretty high premium. What's disappointing is that we've had mixed experiences with the extra experiences (like the baseball clinic) where it doesn't feel worth it.
The best part about the YMCA for us is the childcare. Many gyms have childcare, but not like this! They are always doing screen-free activities and the teachers actually remember my kids names. They even let the big kids get their energy out and play gaga ball or with the basketballs. The level of childcare that we get here allows me to not skip a beat with my workouts when summer comes around or in the evenings after school. My kids absolutely love going to the pool here too! I absolutely love the classes and instructors for the classes also, they always find a way to make it fun and new and motivate everyone to keep going! The YMCA has become a part of our family's daily routine.
Clean facility, well maintained equipment, knowledgeable staff
The instructors that teach the group fitness classes are some of the best people! They, not only are talented, they help build their classes into little communities.
a few more classes geared for all level not just seniors or hard core.
I love the family environment and staff.
The staff is welcoming and friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. It’s very clean and well maintained. There is a variety of group classes as well as gym equipment.
No security on property. Cameras ineffective.
during summer, it would be nice to extend the children’s watch classes to maybe 1pm? i watch my grandchildren and the childcare ends at 12. this makes it impossible to attend some classes.
very helpful staff
I would like to give a shout out to the child watch and life guards who do an excellent job of watching and keeping our kids safe! You have the BEST staff in both places and we consider it a true gift and great blessings to have them as part of our community!
Keep the facility clean. The women's locker room is always dirty, the floors, sinks, and toilets (I don't think are ever cleaned). Fortunately I don't use the showers. More often than not paper towels and/or toilet tissue is missing (I attend morning classes so it isn't that these supplies have been depleted during the day.) One of the stalls has been closed for "repair" for months. The floors in studio one are always dirty. More or different maintenance staff certainly needed. I give it a higher score because of the awesome instructors and friendliness of people that work out there.
Lack of equipment, broken equipment, lack of classes in the pm
Very nice facility. It’s usually not very crowded, but parking is sometimes an issue.
Staff always very friendly and courteous
They have good variety of equipment and classes
The family atmosphere. The friendly staff and instructors
The OP Branch has a welcoming atmosphere.
