Member Testimonials
The variety in group classes and the different weight machines. Coaches and staff friendly.
Thank you.
- I like the Y Cycle Fusion Class on Monday and Saturday. The instructor Linda is energetic. The workout is solid, exciting, and fun.
- I also like Elfreda’s Tuesday and Thursday aerobics swim class. However, the slots fill up fast making it difficult getting into the class.
- Step it Up with Elgin’s class is priceless. Excellent workout. Unfortunately, due to work, I’m not able to make the class most of the time.
Great gym facilities, pool (indoor and outdoor). We enjoyed basketball last winter as well.
Staff is friendly, facilities clean and equipment in good condition
Pickelball
I love that the exercise classes are 45 minutes long. Please keep them at 45 minutes long.
Wide variety of classes
I take a lot of exercise classes - and have really liked them (some are very popular), but I also love the community activities East Lake Y participates in - programs for children and older adults and swimming/water safety programs and pickleball, of course. The staff are wonderful.
I love the play center and Parents Morning Out—-gives me the chance to work out everyday and then get a big 4 hour break on Wednesdays. The staff at the ymca is amazing, especially the play center attendants. I love this place and my family membership at the YMCA
Great coaches and times for classes. Facility is clean. Staff is friendly. Love being a Y member!
I enjoy the classes, the community and people. My only frustration is in the weight room where some individuals monopolize two machines at one time…leaving their personal items on one machine while they are working out on another so they can move back and forth between both without delay…and folks who are on their cell phones…watching videos or texting…while sitting on a machine. Seems some folks don’t get the idea of communal space.
Pickleball
Boot Camp and Coach Approach
Love all of it! Wish the play center was larger and there were more fans added back to the functional fitness room
The staff is super nice and straight forward, and all the members are also extremely nice and great to workout with
I use the YMCA facilities almost daily - mostly the pool and the indoor track. I am very happy with experiences at the YMCA.
We have loved the swim classes they offer. I also love all that the YMCA has to offer for thenprice! I’m able to bring my kids to the play center while i exercise.
The equipment in the gym is great —amount of equipment and variation. It’s never too crowded for me and the weight room upstairs is excellent. Also the outdoor pool is a huge plus.

I love the variety of offerings!
It was very clean and nice!
I enjoy the morning classes that allow me the opportunity to workout and enjoy the company of others before work. As a postpartum mom, I like that I can participate and get back in shape while not feeling judged.
Your coaches are great.
Very welcoming, facilities are clean and pleasant. Staff is friendly.
YMCA is a family oriented facility focused on activities that family needed into there community. I wished that they have one closer to me at Stockbridge near Eagles Landing. As a single mother & took care of my two kids, YMCA given me freedom to exercise while my kids had room to grow mentally & physically on their after hours program. Thank you, YMCA!
A great neighborhood with a supportive and customer-service-oriented environment.
The host at the front desk. They are very nice and polite always good morning.
Accept, I don't like you all cleaning crew. The bathrooms are always dirty. The showers always smelly. They never keep the bathroom clean. But the crew that works at the front desk and the managers always good. And polite cleaning crew a horrible. That's the only complaint that I have. You always changing cleaning cruise that don't know how to keep the bathroom cleans. Showers are staking no tissue in the stall the bathroom floors are never mopped or clean. that's my only complaint.
Great classes. Good workout area. Love the sauna and steam rooms. Lockers need a bit of refreshing - rust, etc.
I only attend Eatslake for yoga. It used to have the best yoga/Pilates instructor I've ever had, but she was let go during the pandemic. It also had a great spinning instructor, but she was also let go during the pandemic.

Plenty of options for all ages
