Member Testimonials
I like the tennis program.
Fantastic instructors and the AOA program, in addition to the Dance Party classes.
Trainers planning well for each session.
The Gym exercises
I love all of the diverse offerings from the Buckhead YMCA. I particularly like having the ability to do cardio or weight-lifting through some of the programs. I also benefited from the coach approach program where I was able to goalset and gain confidence in myself at the gym.
Variety of classes, easy to fit on my schedule, can try multiple forms of exercise.
I enjoy playing pickleball and have made some great friends! I wish we had more organized play—team or not. I think is so much potential for even more growth if we wld have round robins, king/queen of the court, possible teams/leagues.
The programs are planned for all ages and led by well-trained motivating professionals.The classes are odfered different times , which makes it easy for those with tough schedules.
The facilities are clean and offer a comfortable enjoyable space for all ages. Great job!
My home Y is either East Lake or Decatur but I frequent the Buckhead Y bc my child attends a nearby school. Love it!
Great pool. The lifeguards are attentive….i have never seen a lifeguard on the phone or falling asleep (an occasional issue at a few other Ys). Tender attentive playful childcare. Pilates classes! The space is open and clean. Meditation classes on Wed nights. I don’t spend time in the weight/treadmill areas so can’t answer there. Staff are always courteous and helpful.
AOA strength training, workout machines with Jay as an excellent coach to help.

Group exercise
The YMCA in Buckhead is truly a special place that prioritizes both our physical and mental well-being while creating a warm, inclusive environment for everyone. It goes beyond fitness by uniting families and uplifting those of us who are underprivileged, including thoughtfully connecting families to sponsors during Christmas, which means more than words can express. From the moment you walk in, it feels like a big family—welcoming, supportive, and genuine. The programs are diverse and thoughtfully designed to reflect a wide range of cultures, socioeconomic backgrounds, and personalities, bringing the community together in meaningful ways. It is, without a doubt, a true family YMCA.

The Fabulous staff - especailly in the Wellness center- Ana and Martin are the best
I live very close to the Y and so convenience is huge. I can always get in and out and the instructors are always consistent and present with plenty of variety. I only participate in group classes
The YMCA is a well equipped whole family health and mental facility that is inclusive to all members living in Atlanta. There are activities for all family members that believe in total health in a fun and recreational, yet challenging environment. The staff are supportive at all levels and greet most people by their first name. No pressure here. The competition is without stress for the kids, parents and grandparents. You will enjoy the overall atmosphere and friendliness of the patrons. Join, your family will not regret it.
