Member Testimonials
I mostly just use the various rooms and the pool. But I love the gym overall.
The indoor track
I like the Zumba activities. As an older woman, I also appreciate Zumba Gold, for those of us unwilling (or unable) to jump around like our younger classmates.
Wonderful facility, caring and personable instructors, and a spirit of inclusion and generosity throughout the building.
Such an amazing place. Love it all
It offers a wide variety of activities and the staff is very helpful
Verity, available to all community not only members ,
Equipment for work outs
I like everything. I think the place is great, and the new machines are fantastic and the community is very very friendly. Happy to be a part of community.
Location, hours facility
I like the Facility , I grew up in that area . I enjoy the Coach Approach and I want to be apart of the golf tournament as well. I played in a couple of them as a kid , in The First Tee program !!!
Very organized and clean
Community
I love the Equipment, The friendly, knowledgeable staff, the amount of work out classes and the helpful instructors. The cleanliness of the facility is very much appreciated. My son is currently in the swim classes thriving and thoroughly enjoys it. Those swim instructors are the best, very passionate and patient couldn’t have chosen a better location to be a member of. Thank You for bringing a positive sense of community and family to the neighborhood.
I love this YMCA and the positive impact it has within the community.
I don't think people should have phones in the sauna and steam room for health reasons. Also, I won't use the steam room b/c an member told me the tiles were painted instead of replaced.
Thank you for keeping the pool and hot tub much cleaner than the Decatur YMCA does. There is a leaky shower that I reported weeks ago in the Woman's locker room. It still has not been repaired and is wasting water. The locker-room needs a makeover. Thank you
I like the class instructors and the front desk staff and things are usually very clean. Definitely could use nicer pilates equipment props. Also frustrating that the gym seems to invest more in male-oriented classes and machines and equipment. None of the TVs on the ellipticals work and haven't since I joined 4 months ago. And the pilates equipment is old and sometimes there isn't enough for everyone in the class, even though the class size is so small that sometimes it's too full to even get into. I've never been to a gym where you have to prebook and if you don't, you can't access classes.
I've only been a member for a month but I am happy with the classes, the access to the pool with my kids, and the ease of getting in and out of the building (parking, scanning in etc). It seems like a happy place and I love the community vibe!
What a beautiful facility. The front desk folks are particularly nice. This is my very first time joining a Y or a gym and I couldn't be happier.
Group classes.
nice
Awesome gym. Love the updated equipment
I like that I can workout without any pressuring or bothering me. The facility is always clean and the people are friendly.
Swim lessons and outdoor pool are great. Looking forward to try summer camp, and youth basketball next fall. Thank you!
I like the new equipment!
Good instructors, good classes, lots of diversity
The staff here are very friendly and helpful.
The pool is great
Nicole Nicole Nicole !!!!!
I literally started coming to east lake 2 years ago because I heard Nicole’s class was Amazing.
And I’ve taken it faithfully ever since. I missed her so much during her 3 month break & unfortunately gained 10 pounds. I’m glad she’s back and hope she’ll start teaching during the week. Again.
I like the diversity available to all ages. Instructor Joy Fields provides an effective and challenging workout for active seniors while giving less active, and less mobile seniors safe options that fit that capacity. It's difficult to find an instructor with such skill set and accompanying passion.
Most classes can be cookie cutters but East Lake Y has provided many fitness options for all ages.
