Your facility is great. Your fitness machines are great. Your pool is great. And all your staff are great. We enjoy going. I don’t want to tell anyone because I don’t want you to get crowded, but I guess I can’t keep you to just us.
Wonderful facility and team.
The programs address all ages and fitness levels.
I haven't engaged in any activities since precocious. But I feel confident that I would enjoy them.

Classes & pool
I enjoy the amenities, I only wish there was a sign explaining to members not to put water on the sauna rocks. I also wish you all were open on Sundays.
I love all of the programming and activities at the Andrew and Walter Family YMCA(AWYY). I swim and take other classes that are offered. I have also donated to the AWYY for years and my AWYY Masters Swim Team volunteered this year on 1/20/2025 at the MLK Day food distribution. My two sons now 35 and 36 grew up at this Y and I have been a member for years!!
The staff and instructors are very friendly, engaging and helpful. I just love the AWYY and I recommend others to join!
Thank you,

Great facility and great Seniors programs.
This was my first time back at this location since the renovation. I primarily use my membership for the gym, and I was very impressed by the gym, track, and fitness area.
Facility Is Very Clean ,The Staff Are Very Nice And Patient With You Teaching You How To Use The Machines Correctly.
Swimming and weight room
Something for everyone!!
I like what i see but basically I use the pool which I love ❤️
I absolutely love the pool and water aerobics!! The steam room and sauna are two of my favorite places. I’ve recently began running a mile and the new equipment even charges my phone! This YMCA has me spoiled. Every time when I leave I always tell my husband I never regret coming here!

Variety of programs and that the Y supports the community
variety of programs for the mind, body and soul

My usual YMCA is the East Lake location, however, I like visiting different locations in Metro Atlanta and Feb. 1 was my first time visiting the Andrew and Walter Young location. I wish I would've come sooner because my heart was so full just being there!
I came for a 9am spin class but did a little tour prior to check out the facilities and equipment. I loved the murals, the basketball court and track above is by far the nicest I've seen, and I loved seeing so many young people gathered doing whatever they were doing in one of the classrooms and the youth basketball going on at the time. I was also impressed by the variety of workout equipment including some unique weight lifting equipment (lateral raises, etc) that I haven't seen at any other location.
Visiting this location reminded me why I love working out at the Y -- being surrounded by community, young and old, and especially being surrounded by people who look like me and have many things in common with my background. Everyone was so warm and inviting from the ladies working up front, to the staff helping me find the locker rooms and sauna, to the kind and encouraging spin instructor who had awesome music and led an excellent workout.
I will definitely come to this location more often!
