Member Testimonials
What’s not to like. The Eastlake YMCA is accessible to me, it’s clean, bright and well maintained. The staff is friendly and always available.
We love the staff, very helpful and resourceful. Our destination is the Aquatics. We have a routine of swim, steam, whirlpool and sauna. Thank you we love it.
The classes have been great! More water aerobics classes or a couple later at night would be amazing but I’ve been really enjoying my membership. Thank you.
I like the Y a lot! I primarily swim and take the spin classes. The have a strong mobile app that makes it easy to book appointments, though you have to book your swim appointment quickly if you want a spot. People are vicious and are ready to book as soon as they can.
The facilities are kept really clean, and the bathrooms are always stocked on shampoo/body wash. I wish they offered towels, but that isn't a huge problem.
I also wish they would upgrade their lockers so we could actually use them safely. The Piedmont PT center uses self-customized-PIN lockers that keep my stuff safe. You have to keep your things on you the whole time to make sure they are safe.
For the price, it's a good deal!
Yoga should be at least an hour, ideally an hour and 15 minutes. Sarah, the yoga instructor, is awesome! The facilities are always clean. I love being a part of the YMCA.
I do not like there is only 15 spots available for Aquatics aerobics
The class instructors are awesome. Pickleball court times are convenient.
The swim lessons are great.

I like the group exercises offered. The instructors are awesome. I also like the fact that it’s not over crowded
I enjoy the inclusive environment
Youth sports are abundant, excellent, and affordable.
The idea that you have something for children to participate in.
Very fast response and friendly staff
I enjoy my time at the Y but it is more pricey than what I am used to paying. I really dont use all of the programs so it may not be worth the monthly cost for me.
I do really enjoy the zumba classes on Monday and Wednesday night.
The place is really clean and well-equipped. Plus, the staff is personable.
Great classes with great instructors!
Good for the kids!!!
I like the water
I like that the facility is clean. The staff is friendly. The times that the facility is open are hours that are good for all people (whether they are working or not). I also like that this facility offers a Water Aerobics class (on Sundays at 1:30pm) at time when people who work during the week can go. I just wish that this facility also offered Water Aerobics on Saturdays around the same time because that Water Aerobics class on Sundays fills up fast (Perhaps if we were allowed to sign up for the class weeks in advance this might help).
The many classes offered
Very nice facility with updated equipment.
We haven’t participated in any activities yet but we love to swim
Some very good instructors. I only do group classes and I especially appreciate Nicole and Marquetta. Is there any way you could add Y Body Burn, Dance Party, or Zumba Gold on Friday mornings?
Your women's locker room is kept clean. However, sometimes the soap dispensers are empty and I only find that out after I've begun the shower. Also some other maintenance is needed, such as fixing absetn shower shelves or dripping faucets. I know funds may be tight and you probably already know this. The lockers are pretty banged up and some have damaged lock inserts so they can't be locked. If you ever replace the lockers themselves, a wider one like Decatur Y has would be appreciated. Lastly -- is there any way you could have an electric outlet installed near the counter along the back wall of the sink area? Then we can use hair dryers away from the sinks and trash openings.
Thanks for all you do.
I like the variety of classes!
I love the classes! My favorite class is called pound on Thursday. I get to be a drummer for a brief time. We use drum sticks and get one of the best workouts ever. The free weights are amazing. The staff is excellent and all the patrons are extremely friendly and encouraging. They have absolutely everything from swimming to aerobics!
Water aerobics Tuesday’s and Thursdays
FIERCE FUNK!!! Especially with Nicole. It’s the best.
Greg is also a really nice coach. His smile lights up the room and he is so encouraging.
Also I like that there are serious athletes in the weight room. It’s a good atmosphere- inspiring and yet friendly.
I also want to say that I find I’m happier to go to Eastlake because it’s more diverse than Decatur Y.
I have found a great community of fellow members who share the same passion for working out in a family friendly environment.
The variety of programs are phenomenal!! Aerobics! Swimming! Running! At a good price.
