Member Testimonials
Water aerobics and cycling have made working out so enjoyable! Love the instructors I’ve had so far.
I like the access to the pool and saunas
We love Buckhead Y! We especially love the childcare specialists. They are some of the sweetest people you’ll ever meet. We were nervous leaving our son Teo, at first and now— we look forward to any opportunity he can spend with them. They greet my husband and son by name and we always feel at home when we go to this Y. We actually live closer to the East Lake location and will drive 15 extra minutes in traffic just to come here bc there’s something special about the staff. We also love Coach Gwynn. We always looked forward to swimming when he was there last summer. Keep up the good work!
Water aerobics, walking trac, zumba, senior classes. Nice staff👍
Classes, pool, daycare option while working out.
I like the classes and I feel very comfortable there. Thank you!
Instructors are knowledgeable and friendly and prepared (especially Maura McCurdy).
Please note one concern: some members commented that life guards were using their phones while on duty. Please do not permit use of cell phones while on duty.

Group exercise choices and socialization.
amazing pools!!! both indoor and outdoor
Great facilities… friendly staff!
I feel like part of the family when I'm there
The facility is very nice. I am disappointed that you decided to make pool reservations permanent. I know just over half of respondents preferred them, but for some of the rest of us it is difficult to plan when we want to swim 24 hours in advance, at a time starting at the top of the hour, AND stay by the phone when reservations open because they fill up within the minute at popular times. Other gyms fit more than 2 people per lane no problem. I am considering switching gyms because of this issue.
Great programs and activities! Hope they bring back the towel service soon
Programs for seniors
I Love the staff and all the people that you meet there.
I like the friendly staff, the extensive facilities, the location of the property, etc. It is a great place to work out!
Everything. The exercise sessions, the facilities and, most of all, the wonderful people who work there. Oh yes, the fabulous clay tennis courts, the only courts I can play on because of age and infirmities. Ian Thompson takes great care of the courts!
Everything! Thanks! Name removed
All very good
Good allocation of space particularly tennis courts.
Heavy involvement of young children in the summertime.
Always made to feel welcomed and a part of my day that always rewards me.
Basketball at the gym with my son, Pickleball
The staff are just wonderful! I just love the Carl Sanders YMCA!
Being able to go to an outdoor pool which is safe and enjoyable for the little ones. The lifeguards are always attentive to what is happening.

It’s one of my favorite places to be! I love the indoor pool, sauna, steam room and the indoor walking path! There are so many good machines to work out on. Joining was a fantastic decision!
