Member Testimonials
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.
Being able to schedule pool time. Programs to help with weight loss and getting fit.

There's plenty of activities for Seniors citizens

Fulfilling , rewarding and satisfying
At this time I am not able to take classes at the Y. However, I very much appreciate the pool center. The three areas of the pool allow for a variety of activities and accommodate many guests of various ages. The addition of the steam room, sauna and whirlpool create a spa environment. A YMCA is a valuable asset to the community and the East Lake is a shining star thanks to the quality of the staff, the upkeep, etc. Thank you!!
Organization and cleanliness of this facility has improved. Consistency of 5 am lifeguard attendance has improved.
Connecting with different people and being in safe involvement.
So I’m love with this place the gym is very good and staff is very helpful and friendly would highly recommend
I absolutely love the East Lake location. My favorite thing about the location is all the space to spread out and get in a good workout not on top of other people. My only recommendation is to put fans on the wall in the activity room at the end of the hall on the second floor. It would be nice to stay cool in there when I am lifting weights and stretching.
Great teachers that provide effective work outs
I love the group classes. The instructors are excellent. I have two requests:
1) The group classes often go over the time listed on the schedule. Usually they are supposed to last 45 minutes, but many times they go closer to an hour. That means if I am counting on a 45 minute class and have to leave on time, I miss the stretching afterward. I really would like the schedule to be adhered to.
2) In the women's locker room, would it be possible to install and electrical outlet near the long counter opposite the handwashing sinks? Thanks.
