Member Testimonials
ALL YOUR PROGRAMS ARE GREAT AND THE STAFF IS TOP RATE. THE BUILDING IS INVITING AND EVERY THING IN IT IS TOP RATE.
Just what I need as a senior-pool and fellowship ❤️
I love the walking track, weight room, swimming pool and sauna, and the group classes at East Lake Y.
Classes but would love more mid day yoga, Pilates and barre. It’s sad that only the Decatur location offered midday classes between noon and two. The Barre class at noon at Decatur is always so packed you can’t even get a spot. I feel like if there was a noon or one offering a barre or Pilates at Eastlake it would be incredibly packed as well.
- Location
- Cleanliness of the facilities
- Service staff
- warm and welcoming atmosphere !
- The partnership with the School.. Seeing
Young students in the gym on school days
- Parking Lot
- The second floor no workout spaces and
And equipment options..
- outside view in almost every activity area!
The atmosphere, the location, the choices and the instructors.
I don't really take classes but I use the facilities (weight room, machines, hot tub). The atmosphere at the East Lake Family YMCA is always inviting and friendly. The staff is helpful and kind. The facility is well maintained and clean. A great place to work out!
The total atmosphere! However, some members have been observed producing and recording videos of themselves while working out. This may be an invasion of privacy of the other members.
I don't do a lot of classes --- just one. But, I have to say, Karen (Y Core on M, W, F) is amazing. So positive. Welcoming. Helpful. She's a keeper and I hope she stays for a LOOONG time

The gym is clean and well appointed but I would love to see another squat rack
I take a variery of classes at 3 different Y's.
I live Elgin's Y Burn classes on Tuesdays and Thursdays
The variety available and the fact that all abilities are welcome in so many of the classes. Folks are just nice.
I love the variety of group classes, and that I can visit YMCAs all over.
Swimming pool and nice warm water; Iwish you would stop people in Sauna and steamroom from jumping in the pool and not showering first. The life guards completely ignore the practice.Your signs are completely ignored.

I like the class instructors for line dance and active adult strength and cardio classes. Linda and Cindy are very knowledgeable and make their classes a lot of fun.
