Member Testimonials
I really like the lap swimming, but the locker rooms/showers need some work.
The facilities are nice and there is a good variety to do.
The center is well organized, the classes are wonderful, and everyone is welcoming!
There is a variety
I like there are programs I can enroll in that fit my interest and schedule. Even if there are no programs that I am interested in taking at the time, or my schedule does not allow, there are other activities that the YMCA offer that I can take advantage of like using indoor track or playing basketball etc. So far, I enjoy coming to the ‘Y’ and I invite others to come as well.
Great Y
Lots of options. I would like more swim lap lanes during busy times.
New equipment is fantastic, cleaners are doing a good job. Gym looks good. Equipment doesn't look gooky like it used to. Really good job staying on top of this.
Door to yoga room is open in the mornings...thank you.
Tony upfront is great. Engaging, personable, and will problem solve when issues arise.
One watch out--the hand sanitizer stations--they do lag on getting refilled. And especially the one by the front door. Its empty most of the time. Along with the one in the weight room upstairs.
Overall good experience.
The pool temperature is very warm. The sauna temp stays high enough to sweat properly. There are a myriad of rooms with a variety of strength training and aerobic equipment. You can get any kind of workout in.
Camaraderie
Good selection of classes.
One problem I see is lack of storage lockers for important safe keeping of sensitive items such as wallets, cell phones and other small important items that should not be keep in the locker room. The small personal lockers should be replaced for safe and secure keeping
Thanks

Programs for the entire family
Our home Y is Decatur... we love swimming and there is very little open swim time there because they prioritize lap swimmers. We will come to East Lake more now. I haven't looked at class offerings, but will to use this facility more and get our money worth.
Your open pool hours are great for keeping my child active on a cold day.
I am very pleased to know that I can go to the ymca daily , also knowing that East Lake Family Ymca provides the programs, activities, exercise facilities, such as swimming pools ,steam room, sauna and world pool, day care, and of course my favorite, a basketball court.
I absolutely the YMCA. It is my place of peace and serenity. I love working out there. I enjoy the classes when I am able to attend. My family enjoys going to the Y. Sometimes when time permits we workout together as a family. I think the YMCA is one of the greatest places on earth.
People my age like minded are involved in the many activities
The instructor was phenomenol.
Different classed and activities
I have only been a member at the East Lake YMCA for a few weeks but I have appreciated the regular course offerings that have allowed me the flexibility to drop into several group classes at the last minute, including some challenging high intensity interval style training sessions.
Pickleball. Don’t do much else there, but it’s a new year and year and I may try some machines
