Dedicated coaches, instructors and team members
I love Pickleball in the gym.
The group can be a little snobbish. But I’m so glad to be able to play at the Y rain or shine.
I love that there is some kind of dance exercise class available every day of the week at most Atlanta YMCA’s! I also like the summer camp programs, my granddaughter will be attending daycamp at the Cowart family YMCA this summer!
Outstanding management throughout the pandemic. Really good job.

I have been with the Y for approximately 30 years. I have always enjoyed the exercises programs offered. I have made new friends and had some great instructors. It a clean well run facility with helpful employees. The only time I left the Y was during Covid conditions but when they opened back up I rejoined and am very happy to be back. It is an important, healthy part of my life.
Range of classs!
Cowart Ymca has been a home away from home for my 9 year old son since he was 4 years old. The summer camps, school break camps, virtual learning during covid, and their afterschool programs are top notch. He also participates in karate there twice a week and loves it. The counselors and staff are excellent and are truly a God send!
YMCA Cowart Family provides a great value for the whole family.
They are save and fun
Love the exercise classes
Great water aerobics instructor, Laura Luth. Class has become friends and goes to a late lunch each Sunday. Great way to meet knew people and make good friends.
The facilities are comprehensive, well-maintained, bright.
The staff is unfailingly friendly and supportive. Their morale and attitude bring out the best in the members.
I spend several days a week at this Y. There is a consistency of kindness and professionalism I do not take for granted. It is rare in this world and I am grateful.
I attend the 9 a.m. water aerobics and occasionally the weekend water aerobics and occasional use of other equipment. On a positive note: I am SO impressed with the trainers and number and quality of workout equipment. I think Cowart is doing a terrific job with "lunch and learn" programs and other special programs. Re: water aerobics the newest instructor, Sherill is fantastic! She brings energy and fun to the class and is increasing size of class by word of mouth! Please keep her on Tuesday and Thursday!!!! .
My main concern is having Shawnee as instructor Monday, Wednesday and Friday for the 9:00 a.m. class. She is a nice lady and always pleasant. However we need more variety and a better workout than having her three days a week. It would be great if we could have someone else at least one day a week. We have heard favorably about some of the water aerobics instructors at Buckhead and have some people going there instead of Cowart for that reason. I would like to request and encourage that this Y leadership look into more variety of water instructors. Thanks, Name removed (Email address removed)
