Hays Communities YMCA

Fantastic experience: I would like to commend your employees Shana & Bethany for the actions they took on the morning of 9/24/14. A member with a dead battery approached the front counter inquiring about the availability of jumper cables. Shana said she thought she had some and asked Bethany to cover the counter while she went and made sure. Shana then moved her car into position to attempt jumping the truck. I am a retired Police Officer and went out to see if I could be of assistance and as a safety. I believe both Shana & Bethany by their actions exemplify the philosophies of the Y.

Fantastic experience: I appreciate the staff and I always have an enjoyable experience here. It’s a very friendly environment with all the equipment you need to be successful in your workouts. At the end of every workout I always look forward to soaking in the hot tub.

Fantastic experience: YMCA is not only a regular GYM, it is a place to enjoy with family how to workout your body and soul. More than a physical experience is a spiritual experience. Staff is friendly and ready to help. Facilities are clean and well maintained.

Fantastic experience: We just started coming here and love it. The facility is getting a little dated—the showers need new shower heads, Ect…but the warmth of staff and people have made it a 5 star experience for us.

Fantastic experience: The best YMCA, great caring and personable staff. Thank you Ms. Nelson you’re the best!!!

Fantastic experience: Is helpful staff in friendly. Is great place to work out

Positive experience: Been doing water aerobics there for eight years. They have a problem with keeping the water temperature warm enough in the main pool most of the time. You never know what you are going to get. They have had heater problems at this pool for years. This YMCA is starting to show its age especially with the hot tub.

Fantastic experience: Fun for the whole family! Clean and spacious areas.

Fantastic experience: I have been a member of the YMCA on and off for many years and at many different locations! I am never disappointed!

Fantastic experience: There are lots of classes at various times slots with different instructors which makes each class unique! The app is nice for ensuring you get registered for the class. More members means more classes so looking forward to the new year!

Fantastic experience: Safe place to go for a workout... Need to get people back in the gym!

Fantastic experience: The summertime swimming so far has been great! I love bringing my grandson to the indoor pool during my lunch break from work at home and on weekends! The people who work here are helpful and the life guards are very friendly too! Using the after school program is the best also. We love our YMCA

Fantastic experience: So great!! They are friendly and very conscientious about cleaning the facility. I went swimming and LOVE the ability to reserve a lane. Just a wonderful experience overall.

Fantastic experience: Loved it, showers available. TIME FRAMES. BECAUSE OF COVIT 19,, just didn't like that they asked for my bank account,

Fantastic experience: We've been members for 6 years. So happy to see familiar faces and new faces. We primarily use the indoor pool, and will be glad to see the outdoor pool reopen this summer.

Fantastic experience: This is exactly what I needed to get started and stay on track to fitness goals. Everyone is friendly and inspiring. Today is your day to get started!

Fantastic experience: Good clean place to come get your workout on. And if you don't want to be inside there is lots of outdoor room to walk and play. Enjoy!

Fantastic experience: The Hays YMCA property has ample parking and is well kept. The facilities are clean and easily accessible. The Y staff is friendly, efficient, and helpful. The equipment in the cardio/machine room is generally well maintained. The free weight area is well stocked and roomy enough to accommodate the busier times. The gym area is always ship shape. Management is calmly efficient, and every time I've interacted with them, they have been very professional and helpful, while maintaining the warmth of the Y. Cool programs and classes for all ages. Fairly priced. Overall, the Hays YMCA is a treasure for the local community. Our family loves the Hays YMCA!

Fantastic experience: Lots of program/class options. Plenty of machines even when it gets super busy. 2 areas to work on weights. Friendly staff and a clean facility. Nice to help get myself in shape again!

Fantastic experience: LOVE the yin yoga classes and the pool and the pickleball. Great weight room. Friendly and clean, I'm grateful it's so close to me! But you can go to any YMCA, even out of town!

Fantastic experience: Closed Sunday, was able to exercise without issue, weights and machines were regularly sanitized. You need a mask to enter.

Fantastic experience: We had a wonderful time being shown around the gym. I would recommend this place to anyone looking for a new work out experience.

Fantastic experience: This facility is neat, clean, and fun. I am leaving this review because of the outstanding customer service Billy has given me. After searching for an answer and talking to a couple of other people, she was able to answer all my questions quickly. Great job.

Fantastic experience: The Buda/Hays YMCA provides a positive, health-centered environment with activities for whole families to engage in, both together and individually under the same roof. The staff, as a whole, fosters an attitude of respect, kindness, and tolerance. You never feel dumb or silly for asking a question or seeking guidance. They also really care about you and your children's well-being and personal growth.

Fantastic experience: I'm VERY happy that there's now a recumbent cross-trainer machine. Due to three knee replacements I'm unable to use regular bikes. And when I took the tour of the equipment room several months ago the Y in Kyle/Buda didn't have anything recumbent that I could use. BUT now they do!!!!! I had a terrific upper-body workout AND lower. I will come back!! And I heard that adult pool exercise classes have been moved to the bigger pool and that's GREAT too!!! Alrhough I hope the temperature isn't as cold as it used to be in the big pool because that cold water hurts both knees, so I quit coming to water aerobics too. But I will check it out!! Thanks!

Fantastic experience: I love the way the Y is a place that has activities from the youngest to the oldest member of the family it makes it easy for families to coordinate activities for the community as well as everyone with little to no hassles thank you Y

Fantastic experience: Friendly staff, amazing facilities, so many classes to choose from. Love this Y!

Fantastic experience: One of the nicest YMCAs I have seen. Lots of "older adult" activities, yoga, Zumba etc. and I am very fond of my personal trainer who has been working with me for the past 6 months.

Fantastic experience: Great location with a variety of workout equipment, classes, and activities. Staff is very friendly and helpful.

Fantastic experience: Variety of group exercise classes. Lots of different classes at multiple times with a variety of quality instructors. Very kind childcare staff. Welcoming front desk. Very clean facility.

Fantastic experience: YMCA has different rooms and activities. Being spread out is great, so you can do the activities that you want and don't feel like your on top of someone else. The variety of classes is great- I can lift and get weight workout with Body Pump. I can get my cardio in with Body Combat. Then when I need a little peace and stress release I can do Yoga. All the instructors are nice. Then if you want to mix it up there are the typical gym machines and weights. I like it all- its all about choices at the Y.

Fantastic experience: Our Pickleball community in Buda owes a great big THANK YOU to the Hays YMCA for their HUGE help in promoting and hosting our 1st Annual Pickleball Tournament! They provided assistance to every request we made to make this a fun adventure for any of our members who had never entered a Pickleball tournament. Our courts were spotless! Our spectators viewing areas were easily accessible! The YMCA helped with photography and public relations and enrollment! Jill and Roxanne were awesome to work with. The YMCA allotted extra time and space for our tournament! We just can’t Thank You enough for your support. Thank you, Thank you from Yvonne Mansour and Lisa Williams, Ambassadors for USAPA.

Fantastic experience: Before I went to Buda YMCA I read bad reviews. But I went to see for myself. Let me tell you it is a fantastic place. Great classes and very helpful young and older people there to help you with anything you need. The dressing rooms are clean and not freezing! Where I went before was so cold. Loving working out here.

Fantastic experience: Love this Y. Their early morning (starting before 6am) exercise classes are perfect for busy lifestyles!

Fantastic experience: This is the 6th YMCA that I am a member of. (Chicago, Seattle, Wheaton, Door County & Anaheim) I lift weights, use the machines and play PICKLEBALL, daily. The staff and ALL "picklers" are the friendliest and most respectful people I have ever played with. Well organized games, respectful in every way and ALL follow the rules. I maintain my 24 hour fitness membership (24th year) BUT THE Buda "Y" staff are A+ 5 STARS!!!
