Member Testimonials
I love the pickle ball. But the courts are not maintained, you can barely see the lines.
I love the family-friendly and laid-back atmosphere. It's not fussy. I love the childcare options - free play center drop-off and inexpensive Parents' Night Out. We hang out at the outdoor pool with friends all summer!
Various programs an activities
Pool & camps
Good weight room and a lot of space - clean
Outdoor pool. Kids swim lessons (though quality varies by coach and how diverse the skill level of kids in the class). Adult group classes
I love the East Lake Y! I use the indoor pool, whirlpool, and outdoor pool multiple times a week. My favorite offering is the water aerobics class with Elfreda, she makes the class so special and fun people get hooked after trying it once! The Y should increase the class size limit for her water aerobics class or see if she'd be interested in teaching the class at 7 am and then again at 8 am because it can be very hard to get a spot, especially in the summer. Last week I went to sign up for a Thursday class exactly 24 hours ahead of time and even though I signed up at 7 am, I was the fourth person on the wait list and didn't get a spot in the class. It's a shame that many people are prevented from joining the class because it's so hard to get a spot. A lot of people who come to the class mostly use the Y for water aerobics over the other facilities and we all deserve reasonable access to this class we're paying for.
As a female young adult, having a safe space to workout is hard to come by. YMCA of Metro Atlanta always makes me feel safe.
Variety & Diversity
The facility is clean and there are a variety of classes to from. The only concern at this moment is dry paper towels are not provided to dry equipment before sitting. Disinfectant wipes are available but dry paper towels are needed to dry seat after sanitizing. I visited other locations and they provide dry paper towels.
Eastlake please provide the towels
Thanks
I love how friendly and helpful the staff is. It’s just a positive zone full of excitement
Love Parent's Night Out and Summer/School break camps and so does my son! I enjoy the variety of group fitness classes offered and the instructors are so welcoming and encouraging. I do wish that the outdoor pool opened earlier than 11 to maximize time out with my kids in the morning before lunch/nap times but also understand it may be difficult to staff.
People are so friendly. Loved Terrence’s line dance class. He’s awesome. Front desk folks were kind. Machines are new. Pool is big.
Everything!!!
The gym has quality equipment and is clean. The indoor and outdoor pool facilities are nice and well staffed. Summer day camp and on-site child care have been great for our daughter.
The staff the staff there is patient and supportive of parents with small children

The warm welcome and push by instructors and others and the variety along with the atmosphere, the cleanliness
I love the childcare center, swim lessons, indoor pool access, and equipment. I do wish more advanced exercise classes were offered.
Ample swim lanes. Pleasant front desk staff that showed me around when I was looking lost waiting for a swim lane to open up.
I love the pools! I swim laps regularly.
Variety of classes available. Sense of community.
The classes and coach meet ups I've had with Joy Fields have been so good for me.
Additionally the gym is kept so clean.
Everything is made accessible to every member and the building is extremely clean. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable which is important to me
The classes and instructors are excellent. It's very uplifting to see the beautiful diversity, family and children in a very positive environment.
I really love the pool. But the machine that lower disabled people never seems to be in good working condition. Please service soon.
Nice facility and fun classes.
I've had so much trouble losing weight until I signed up to take Joy F. Class and coach approach. She is serious about her craft and has a level of understanding about how to shape and strengthen the body that's rarely seen. Im surprised but grateful the Y has an instructor of such caliber. She is a rare!
