Member Testimonials
Just go for the gym but believe in the mission statement as a retired teacher.
The staff is very friendly and extremely helpful.
I enjoy the well maintained aquatics facilities.
I really like anything Joy Fields teaces. She is like a fountain of youth for me
Very clean gym, curteous staff and great amenities. The sauna, pool and steam room take it over the top.
Camaraderie
Good teachers
Been a nice quiet sociable place to visit during the day after the hard work.
Great classes and health coaches.
I only walk. So what is really special for me is you are always open when my other two choices are closed or GS weather... . Still happy to be able to support my neighborhood Y even a little at 87! The Lovetts (Jean)
Very interactive
The group exercise options, the facility, and the sauna.
New weight room and equipment.
Very outstanding
I like to use the pool.
Coach approach, good classes and strength machines
I've been a member of the East Lake YMCA for over a decade because they always greet me with a smile and a hello when I enter. Most importantly, I love the cleanliness, professionalism, and knowledge base of all their employees. I am now retired and can go to every other gym in Atlanta (including LA Fitness) for free (hmmm), but for now, I have chosen to continue my paid membership because of all I've mentioned above.
Nice people at the front desk. Pool, courts, weights, and track.
Changing rooms could be updated.
thx
First, I like that the pool has a steam room. That means that my husband will always be eager to join me at the Y. There are several different classes available in each of the times I am likely to come, my coach is warm and friendly, and the woman in charge of the central desk made signing up a breeze.
If I have a complaint it not look over it's addressed. I love that the Y is a family own Y. I like that everyone is treated fairly.
Offer a good variety of classes and instructors are good.
The variety and availability of classes
Great facilities and wonderful staff and classes. I've been enjoying Lisa's balance and stability class, appreciate the treadmill, and love the pool. I also work and go to college so I haven't been as frequent, particularly if I've done my workout on campus, but always enjoy visiting during breaks.
