The atmosphere is great. The programs and activities are Awesome!
I am a fan of step aerobics and I love Elgin's step class. It is a high energy class that is designed to keep you thinking and moving simultaneously. You will get your heart rate up and have fun. Most importantly, age does not matter only fitness level. Margaret Brown
Great staff the facilities are very clean from when you walk in to the bathrooms and workout areas .
I love how challenging water aerobics is! I also took a spin class at the Y for the first time the other day and loved the sense of community.
The East Lake Y is very conscious of the pandemic, making me feel very safe. I can concentrate on my workout with no concerns about my safety. I also love the high-quality equipment and atmosphere at the East Lake Y....glad to be back after a year on the sidelines...
such nice front desk staff
I like that I can work out and play basketball. I also like that I can go swimming and walk around the race track. There’s so much to do at the Y and I like that I can stay however long I need to. I love the gym .
I love the fitness classes included in my membership for such a great price! Wonderful people and workouts.
I love the YMCA in general. However I miss my snap finger location. Their shower system is way better than Eastlake.
I usually go to Decatur Y because it is alot closer for me, but I like to swim at East Lake. Pool is less crowded and it is sparkling clean
Great Covid security measures. Very clean and few people visiting at one time. Felt very safe. Just returned to the wellness center after a year.
The pool, whirlpool and sauna
good
The people there are nice and they give me advice on how to improve myself
I’ve only use the track and the exercise equipment and the swimming pool so far
The pools!
The Instructors are Awesome. The activities offered are really geared for one to achieve a good workout. One can truly stay physical fit working out at East Lake YMCA.
Great guest services. Pleasant staff.
Very CoVid safe. Just took my first water aerobics class today and it was so nice!
Yoga
Workout tooms

The welcoming atmosphere and cleanliness of the facility.
I think the physical plant is great. Some instructors, like Julia H., are incredibly underrated. At any other Y within the metro area, she'd be a star. In this sense, East Lake is very lucky and privileged, a bit of an undiscovered gem.
The new HIIT room upstairs. Wish there was a second room.
Love the pool for laps and the kids area.
Love what the Y does for the community
Pool
Love the way you are running the pool during the lockdown. It’s very clean and well-managed. Please keep it up!
check in was orderly and easy, desk help efficient. I have only attended a single yoga class, it went fine
I LOVE the barre class...Ms. Julie is an excellent instructor with a kind heart...she exemplifies the characterics that the Y.M.C.A. personifies...
.ALSO...the class implemented safety measures..including a limited number of students (6)...having our own barre..being more than 6 feet apart...and the instructor wore her mask the entire time😷😷😷.
Great class👍👍👍!!!!!!!
I like the East Lake YMCA but my sons are basketball players and one of the basketball goals has been broken for weeks. Would love to know when it will be fixed so they can play at a goal.
Swim! Zumba class with Nicole I miss her class so much!
