Programs for youth & different classes offered
They are typically well tun.
I enjoy the cycling and yoga classes. I wish there was more opportunities to play soccer in the gym though.
Wonderful and friendly staff!
The pool
Love Barbie's classes!
Very helpful and friendly staff, exercise equipment in multiple areas, convenient hours!
I prefer using the weight and exercise room. It has all the modern equipment and it’s always maintained in an superior manner. In addition, the Steam Room is fantastic. Your team, especially Mr. Gregory makes me and others feel special by recognizing us by name and is always asking is there more they can do in improvements. He truly cares about his job and the community that it encompasses. Overall I think you have a great team at the East Lake facility.

I have been a member of the Atlanta YMCA for over 10 years now, and I am always amazed at the variety of quality programs offered to serve a very diverse group of members. I always say that there is something for everyone here, and it's proved true over and over. I also really appreciate the possibility to visit different locations, which further expands the "Y experience"'; I am so very grateful for the YMCA of Metro Atlanta!
Really helps to improve your health
Monday spin with Joseph!
Love love love Barbie’s classes. I am overjoyed with the new towels, spin bikes and the addition of the Peloton bikes. You keep the facilities very clean and the staff is always so helpful and friendly.
I like the family atmosphere and the variety of programs and activities offered
I think your exercise classes are great!
The pool is often very cloudy though, and the pool water doesn't look clean.
The showers are not hot enough... they are usually tepid, and then get bursts of hot water. It's very hard to get motivated to swim in the colder months when you know that the locker room is going to be freezing and that the showers aren't going to be hot enough.
All around I love the Y.... just warm up the locker room and the showers please.
The barre class is fantastic and we love the outdoor pool. We had some issues with swim class last year. If got canceled multiple times but I understand it was a staffing issue. Thanks!!
The Expresso bike is great.
Group exercise classes! Zumba/yoga
Step aerobics
I love everything about you guys, I became dissalble 4years ago and had retire from job, heard about the program an activity you have the Ymca helped me mentally physically I joined the seniors and that was the best program for me l love every thing you all guys offer 😀
I stumble into zumba one Wednesday morning because the pool was closed because no life guard was on duty. Now I go to zumba class each Wednesday morning for one half hour then I go to water aerobic class for one hour. I love both classes because I get a good workout.
Great staff, good gym, great pool.
I just love the facilities
Minus the showers— water not hot enough
Also whirlpool has been broken a long time
I like the coach approach program. Desmond's great. Love the play center. Very convenient. Just wish there was a bottle warmer available. My older daughter likes the swimming pool. More activities for toddlers and parents would be nice.
There’s a lot to choose from. The programs and activities are available to everyone. It bring’s back that feeling I had when I was a kid. That unit in the community matters.
I love the staff who are super friendly, welcoming, helpful and encouraging. I love the variety of classes and the equipment, as well as the pool for laps and water aerobics. This facility is a gift to our community!
Nice people and I like the class teachers. Very conveniently located. I do with there were more classes at times that actually work for my schedule — particularly the weekends seem a little light.
The friendliness of the staff. The cleanliness of the facility and the safety of the center.

Haven't been in a while but plan to start again in the New Year.
