Member Testimonials
I love the fact that the YMCA is community oriented and has something for all ages. Though I have only been a member for a short time, I have noticed how people have bonded and some have formed true friendships just from their being a member of rhe YMCA.
Im happy I joined and am now a member of this community.
I like the helpfulness your staff provides
The childcare workers are great (Ms. Tammy is awesome!!!). I also really enjoy some of your instructors— Keith Evans, has awesome energy (more instructors needed like him!!). The facility is clean and well kept and the staff is very professional
I enjoy the variety of folks I meet at the Y, and the variety of classes and instructors.
So many activities and everyone is friendly and accommodating.
I like the pool, childcare and the outdoor pool.
Fitness room and equipment. Program offerings
Great facilities and incredibly friendly knowledgeable staff. The Eastlake ymca is my favorite location!
I like the family approach of the YMCA and the diverse activities you offer.
I like the facilities and the staff.
Diverse classes, pools and childcare!
Convenient and easy to access information and seems like a nice variety of programs.
I love the water aerobics class on Monday Wednesday and Friday. But due to the music that Ms Stephanie plays, I have become uncomfortable with her class and behavior. I feel that gospel music should not be played in a community environment. It's very offense to different religion. There are many members that feel the same way. I have removed myself from her classes and on those days I seek exercise at another facility. I have attended her class at the Claremont location and she plays all the oldies never any religion. I feel there's a time and play for everything. You should question her classes in person and get more feedback.
Interval class Tuesday and Thursday, the pool (especially since it opens at 5:30a)
The Group exercise classes! I like Elgin’s class, Angela’s Zumba, Shenika’s interval training and the other Zumba instructor too. Great job with the group classes. That’s the only reason that I am a member.
Lots of good classes. I want Tai Chi!!!
I really miss Kathy’s Sunday yoga. First Y class I took and I was a regular for YEARS.
Childcare, facilities
Great mix of activities and I love the people!
The facilities are well maintained, the staff are incredibly nice, the variety of group classes is nice
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..
Very well rounded space. I love the range of equipment available and I always find a good set of pieces for the workout I need to get in.
