Everyone is kind and helpful. The classes and instructors are all terrific.
friendly and diverse community
Its healthy fun and interesting for all my family even my grand kids. Swimming lesson , summer programs even cheer leading . Exercising class to keep you healthy and in shape .
Was there just to use the pool, as my home “Y” pool was closed for the day.
Lovely atmosphere at the YMCA. Good programming for adults and kids. We love the East Lake YMCA.
Programs and activities are offered 7 days a week to help members stay healthy and physically fit such as exercise/aerobics, swimming and swimming classes, several machines to help strengthen muscles, fitness advisors available all the time. The programs and activities are designed to fit different age groups from early child development to senior citizens. I like the pleasant environment. I am also happy the "Y" provides cleaner and towels to keep the machines clean and germ free.
not a lot of programs but like the basketball
Everything from facility to fellow members friendly spirits.
Really like that you provide towels for persons using the pool. Staff are always very friendly.
They give people who can’t even afford it the opportunity to be involved.
love the workout and exercise area
Good facility. Love the towel service. Men's shower/locker areas could be kept cleaner; it's very uneven in terms of cleaning/maintenance.
Desmond Jackson is a great coach.
The exercise classes, fellowship
I love the amazing staff and they are all very friendly and helpful. I use the weight room some and the staff is very willing to give you advise on how to use the equipment.
I'm still swimming competitively so my main work out is swimming laps and my favorite way to end my workout is in the hot tub.
I love swimming laps at my Y and bringing my son to play basketball on the league at the East Lake YMCA! My mom loves the senior programming and exercise classes that are designed just for her.

- I love my yoga class. My teacher Susan is amazing! Lisa is very to good too, and every time there was a sub she was also pretty good!
- my kids did swim lessons. Their coaches did a good job. Currently kids are on swim team with Chelsea. They love her! As a parent watching through the glass I’m pretty impressed also.
- summer camp was good. Area of improvement: please supervise and give more strict guidance at changing rooms during swim time. Both of my kids ( boy and girl) were intimidated by older kids while changing. Since then they didn’t want to come back.
Variety, location.
I like the equipment and the hours. There are showers for the members to clean themselves up after a work out. The staff is very helpful.
Friendly helpful staff. As a first time visitor, I was impressed
Friendly staff, never too crowded. Lanes usually open in pool for lap swimming, or if full, everyone is willing to lane-share. Wonderful child-care.
Fun
Great staff! The facility is Well managed and maintained. Our family has been members for over 20 years and the East Lake Y has evolved and remained relevant and a great family friendly place. We love the activities and the variety of programs. Perfect for our changing family needs.
I go the East Lake Y to use the Fitness Center with the weight machines. It is always clean and well supervised and the coaches are always eager to provide assistance if necessary.
I am disappointed that there are no longer two sets of machines. This means that wait times have to be factored into workout routines and some members are not very considerate of others.
No judgement zone, very much feels like a family!
I love the staff, always kind and willing to help! Keep up the teamwork!
That you offer them. And have a great facility.
I love coming to the classes!

Instructors and good workouts
