Diverse programming that incorporates various wellbeing focuses (cardio, strength-training, body awareness, etc.) and fun (energetic and positive instructors, great music, variety of different activity options). Welcoming and inclusive environment. Well-maintained and extensive collection of equipment
I like the pool. The swimming lanes should go back to having bookings for lanes 1, 2, AND 3.
Customer service end clean
I really liked the Pilates class. I usually go to the Decatur Y. This was my first time at your facility. I was very impressed. It's much larger, newer and nicer than the Decatur Y.
Unfortunately, it's kind of far for me (I live in Morningside). Still, worth the drive for the Pilates class.
Pickleball
Availability and price.
It's the perfect place for my family and I'm so appreciative this is my neighborhood community!
East Lake has a warm, friendly community atmosphere. I feel as if I’m hanging out with extended family when I’m there.
There are programs for everyone, regardless of age or fitness level
Excellent instructors who are energetic and enthusiastic which make the classes exceptionally enjoyable. Can an activity that is so much fun be good for you. yes.
What I love most about the programs and activities at the Y are the classes. I especially enjoy the Y Burn Core and More class. The instructor, Joy Fields, is excellent. She is dedicated, motivative, and a great person. She has the rare ability to encourage members to work hard; all while allowing individuals to work at their own pace. To ensure that the members are using the correct form, she also walks through the class, observing making sure we’re being safe.
Joy’s dedication inspires me to continue on my fitness journey. She reminds me that what you put in, is what you get out. I’ve had some personal set backs and I refer to this mantra constantly.
In addition to instructing, she also lends herself to the members to offer fitness via the Coach Approach. It was at this particular point I was able to pull the down some walls and dig deep. Through our conversations, I learned about ways to prevent falling back into both eating and fitness “bad habits”.
As if this isn’t enough, she also teaches a stretch class that I love.
Overall, Joy has helped to bring back the confidence I had through fitness. I recommend her class to anyone looking for a challenge.
The pool.
I don’t participate in them. But my kid goes to the play center while I workout sometimes and she loves it there.
