Close to home and variety of activities

East Lake YMCA has truly been a life-changing investment in my health and overall well-being. Over the past 10 months, I’ve lost 30 pounds, gained muscle, and grown stronger physically and mentally. But beyond the fitness gains, I’ve gained something equally valuable: a community. What started as familiar faces in workout classes has blossomed into genuine friendships. I genuinely look forward to going to the gym every day—and WHO SAYS THAT?! Ha!

While my experience has been overwhelmingly positive, I have been disappointed by the recent removal of several classes, including Monday morning HIIT and the Tuesday/Thursday Core, Bootcamp, and Stretch classes. These classes were instrumental in my fitness journey and helped foster the strong sense of community that makes East Lake YMCA so special. Unfortunately, these changes have led me to visit other YMCA locations to maintain my workout routine. It's disheartening to see programming that brought so many of us together being eliminated.

Despite these concerns, I remain grateful for the impact East Lake YMCA has had on my life and would still highly recommend it. It's a special place, and I hope it continues to be a place where both fitness and community thrive.

Love senior instructor Linda R. Very caring and compassionate.
Great variety of activities for all ages.

i like the Active Older Adults exercise on Wednesday. It is great. I travel from McDonough GA for this program.

I wasn’t there very long. I did the treadmill. I’ll have to give you a review on my next visit. I do intend to go back and take some of the classes MARY Elizabeth, AT, The, front counter was very welcoming very friendly, professional, kind, and went above and beyond to make me feel welcomed and special that is what I want to make notice of.

Diversity, location, separate workout areas, one down and two upstairs. Rare location with an ice machine, has a sauna, and indoor track.

The class teachers are all extremely nice and helpful

There are so many to choose from. There are so many to choose from. Whatever your physical needs they can be met at the Y.

Variety of both teachers and classes

I am a big fan of the YMCA. I’ve been aware of the Y and it’s great community work for years as a nonprofit professional. But really the best part is just coming in for the wonderful classes and community. It’s a welcoming space with so much to offer.I feel a sense of belonging and enjoy being with all kinds of people in the best possible way. My home court is East Lake YMCa. But I have many friends who enjoy YMCAs across Atlanta. Thank you for providing us so much all the time! In a day where everybody’s looking for value for money, YMCA is a great place to go!
