Member Testimonials
great
Friendly staff!
Beautiful swimming pool area. I used the basketball court as well.
What is there not to like?? I love the family atmosphere, the professionalism, the cleanliness, the updated equipment, the knowledgeable staff, the classes, and the sessions for retirees. After my workouts, I love winding down in the jacuzzi before ending my workout in the steamroom or sauna. My insurance allows me to go to LA Fitness for free, and I still prefer to pay to go to the East Lake YMCA!!
Diversity of classes. Helpful staff. Love that the Y works with the school. Supportive reachers.
Indoor pool, clean, nice mix of workout spaces.
I would suggest adding a bench or two to the weight room. Feels like a lot of the 10, 12, 15 LBS weight have moved to the front room with the turf, both rooms should have those same weights.
Training help is great! Love the spa.
Teachers are all great!
The types of classes and the leaders of the class are nice fit for various age groups. They make exercising fun.
I am really enjoying the "NEW" water ballistic water class which give the participants a unique way of enhancing the strength of our core...the flexibility of muscles...and working on balance through the use of yoga ....ballet...and stretching...ALL in the water...what a great experience!!
I'm also part of the "coach approach" which controlled weights are utilized as my "blood pressure" has been today normal...(was extremely high- hypertenstion)...as I am mo stored by a doctor every 3 months....
Since retirement, I have thoroughly enjoyed the "Active Older Adults" organization which gives us seniors a place to "socialize"....go on trips....and learn healthy health habits....We seniors feel as though we belong!!!!
I am discovering fun and healthy "new adventures" monthly at our Eastlake "YMCA!!!
I have only taken classes with Joy and Misha and they are great motivating coaches as I'm sure all your staff and coaches are. Also, interacting with the members is great.

Classes are fun. The population is diverse. The equipment is well kept. I’ve had a great experience overall.
I like the variety of basic exercise equipment, the pool, and the gym. I like having a coach and other knowledgeable people I can ask for advice. I like classes that are offered. I like visiting other branches of the Y when it's convenient to do so.
