I LOVE this YMCA. Are there fancier places in town? Yes. Would I take expensive barre classes every day, wallet permitting? I mean, sure. But the town lake Y has the most amazing community of any gym I've ever seen, really intentional inclusive practices (and, as a result, more diversity than you're likely to see anywhere else in Central Austin these days), totally solid yoga classes, a nice pool, free coffee, a weight room that doesn't make me feel weird, nice personal trainers (granted, a little too much turnover there, but hey), and really thoughtful, loving child center staff with whom I can feel good about entrusting my kiddos long enough for me to get a workout. I LOVE their programming, I love the fact that there are retirees who camp out in the lobby for hours to chat, I love that my son gets a fist bump from Daniel (one of the greeters) on a regular basis. I love that they do parents nights out!
