Member Testimonials
Very good activities for all ages!
The youth center pool is the best place to hang out on a hot day. My daughter loves the zero-entry and my son loves the water slide.
I like Desmond and his unwavering support of my goals. I like POUND and Zumba and I also like the convenience of proximity to my house. The instructors and Des are kind and knowledgeable and they are are always willing to help me learn from my mistakes, push me to my limits, and help me with my form.
A great place to work out
I love this Y, the teachers and class offerings. BUT hate the 'leave your card at the front desk and wait in a long line all sweaty after class'.
With today's technology, why revert to an antiquated check in?
The instructors are more than capable and professional.
No idea about programs and activities.
The East Like is a wonderful blend of fitness, familiarity, fun and family. Sometimes they are on point, sometimes not so much. Their group fitness classes, at least Zumba and core, are stellar. The basketball leagues for children could use a little more organization but always feel like the heart is in the right place. The desk staff, both reception and membership, are always friendly and personable (something I can't say for Decatur Y).
Love Barbie's Tuesday and Thursday classes for Strenght; Spin classes and the yoga class on Wed. (Susan?). Treadmills are great and it's nice to do laps in the pool. I do think the free weight area could be larger - it's really too cramped to go over and work out.
Excellent Equipment and a very clean facility..
Free daycare while you workout and outdoor pool are the best.
The pool -- right temperature, great ambiance
I enjoy the variety of activities and frequency.
I love the variety of classes and times. I do wish there was a place for stretching or even to do your own kind of HIIT type workouts, there just isn't space in the weight area.
I like that you have water aerobics classes several times a week.
We love the outdoor pool!
The classes and teachers are awesome! Everyone who works at the East Lake YMCA is so friendly and nice.
Pool is great
I think there should be more group class offerings between 5:00pm and 6pm on Mondays and Thursdays.
Thank you,
There is a wide variety of programs and activities in which I can participate to keep me physically fit. The hours of operation are excellent and there are coaches available to give me helpful advise when needed.
The Classes, The Instructors and The Staff. It’s a pleasure being a member of East Lake YMCA!
Good instructors for group exercise classes
This location is very laid back and has a community feel. The people at this location are much friendlier than at the Decatur location. It is also more kid-friendly. The pool is great!
Everything
I love the atmosphere and upbeat attitude of the employees. I love how people smile and talk to one another. The Y is clean! Towels have been a plus!
Love the variety of classes that are offered. Stephanie, Grace and Nicole (Water Aerobics, HIIT Water Aerobics and Zumba instructors) are simply the best! The women's locker room could do with some updating (and a deep cleaning), though. The facilities, especially the showers, are so much nicer at the Decatur location.
I love love love the yoga classes.
The age diversity
The kids camps
I like how many class you offer and how consistent you've been over the years
variety to choose from for all ages

The facilities are well maintained, the staff are incredibly nice, the variety of group classes is nice
