The classes are excellent and the instructors are outstanding. I will like to congratulate Ms. Joy, Ms. Ashley, Mr. Abdias and Mr. Darryl for offering classes that are helping me with my health and strength. I love East Lake YMCA and I thank the staff for always having activities, health screenings, and vendors that are educating about health. Blessings be upon all of the efforts you do to help your members!
I love the child care options (daily child care in the play center, and monthly Parents' Night Outs). I also love the indoor pool for off-season entertainment and the outdoor pool for summer!
I've only recently attended classes at EL. Two things: the front desk folks are so friendly! Also.. I do believe that Terrance is the best dance teacher ever!
You have the best Aqua Aerobics, classes out of all the Y’s
Excellent children's swim programs (though long term teachers have been better than recently), great outdoor pool, and nice basketball courts
I like the new moderate exercise equipment, I like using the steam room, the sauna and, the whirlpool.

I enjoy the group exercise classes offered during te day. Lisa's Tu/Th Pilates class in particualer
and Linda's Senior class on Wednesdays.
I am frustrated that the Y doesn't have enough equipment for the classes. ( weight bars, 5 /8 lb hand weights bosu balls. ).
Disappointed that the Tuesday 9AM weight Training class was dropped
I am finding that there are less group classes to choose from and find my self going to the DeKalb Y more often than I'd like.
I am not only a member of the East Lake Y Iam also a monthly Doner .
Ihope that the Y uses my contributions to purchases more classroom equipment
