The pool is amazing
Group exercise classes are great! I also like to walk the track and play basketball.
I don’t go to East Lake often because I’m closer to the Decatur Y. But I took Active Adult Strength and Cardio at EastLake this past week. It was a great class with Linda. She had lots of energy and everyone was friendly!!
Great instruction, great community. Very welcoming space and open to people of all levels. The challenge is there if you want it, but everyone goes at their own pace and it’s a place of friendship and love. Starts my weekend off right every week!
Inclusivity , camaraderie
I enjoyed my time in the pool
Friendly staff
Staff friendly.
Super friendly front desk staff, great pool.
Basic exercise: Pool, weights, machines, gym, and variety of classes. Always something to do. I appreciate coach program. Open hours are good. Sometimes I like sauna, steam room, whirlpool. I like to visit other locations as well.
I appreciate that you have resumed the water aerobics classes and that they are offered several times a week again. I do miss and prefer the earlier morning classes for water aerobics (8-9 am), consequently am only able to attend the Wednesday class for now. With a large population of seniors who suffer from arthritis, these classes are necessary and vital to our health.
There also seems to be quite an unusual amount of malfunctioning at this Y. For example, right now the whirlpool was down for an extended period of time; the steps entering the pool need to be repaired and I believe one of the rooms, steam or suana has been closed. I have been attending this Y for approximately 10 years, and there always seems to be some equipment failure. would like to see the Y spend more time and effort maintaining and repairing its equipment in a more timely fashion.
