Member Testimonials
I like the weight area, but I wish you still had the xpresso bikes and the stretch station
I like chair yoga classes in YMCA. But the management should look into all kinds of problems inside the building such as whirlpool and the steam room should be maintained and open for the members.
Excellent Staff & Services
I only use the wellness center but Carver is my favorite location in this area. The staff is friendly and recognizes me when I come in (including some encouragement if they haven't seen me in a while). There's plenty of parking whenever I want to go, although I highly prefer quiet times. When there is children's programming, the parents aren't parked everywhere blocking every space and then some. The facility is always clean. The wellness center, while it could use a hand bike and some more things like stretch bands and lighter weights, is usually a pleasant experience. The only negative for Metro Atlanta Y is the pricing for individual adults. When I initially starting attending the Y, prepandemic, I was invited by a neighbor and membership was $35 or $40 - very much in line with local gyms and was a great incentive considering I wasn't active at a gym at the time. The Y offered a much better atmosphere and felt more safe. Today's $80+ is insane. Given that I don't have a family, I'm not clear on what necessitates such a high fee or what additional value-adds I'm missing out on to take full advantage of my membership. When organizations say they want to be inclusive of all community members, that usually means the elderly and children (which is the right thing to do) but I feel forgotten about as part of said community. I've continued my membership in support of the other programming because I think it's important. But am not sure how long I will be able to sustain that, given that it feels unfair. Thank you for considering my feedback.
Very nice Indoor pool, changing/shower area for families (with children), hot tub poolside, and nice lounge area with snack machines.
Everything the programs are very helpful for the senior and the caring from the staff is awesome.
I really enjoy the line dancing classes. I also enjoy the community engagement events that this YMCA organizes. Lastly, the staff at the Carver YMCA is always very kind and engaging.
I thoroughly ALL the classes that I attend and the facility itself! I participate in the "line dance class"..."hula hoop" class...and "water aerobics" ...all ofwhich are instructed by excellent teachers....
I am so thankful that the pool and whirlpool has continuously work throughout the summer so that I will be able to exercise on a weekly basis...
The facility is "ALWAYS" clean and odor-free which I thoroughly enjoy just sitting in the lounge area, enjoying conversations with others and watching members swim!
What a GREAT place to be!!!
Nice wellness centet
the people are fantastic, the machines are in great condition, and the facilities are always clean
Swimming water aerobics is my favorite thing to do because of my health issues,
The polite, kindness & welcoming feeling from the time I enter and when I’m leaving the facility.
Great customer service.😊
I love everything the facility have to offer. I would highly recommend it.
I just use the workout room with all the machines. I like how most connect to my Apple Watch. However, I wish they would update the elliptical to have that feature. It does take some of the machine longer to get fixed when they broke. However, this is the only gym that I have ever consistently gone to over the years. Staff is super friendly as well.
The front desk people always greet you warmly. The classes are great - wide variety, good teachers - I love Safia's classes and also Faith and Anita, they really challenge you. Bobbi, great Caoch. New gym equipment, so nice! And the facility is immaculate.
I don't go enough, but appreciate it every time I do go.
The coaches and staff are very caring. There is always a friendly greeting. The coaches are very good and they care about my development. As a senior they do an extraordinary job.
I come here for water aerobics & occasional workouts with light weights. The receptionists that greet meet are always nice & courteous…the staff is nice & courteous & the facility is always kept clean & sanitized.
Great Line Dancing Teacher!
I appreciate the upgrade to your equipment, the friendly staff as well as all of the free prof teams that you all have to offer. In fact, my wife and I are beginning to tell people about some of your programs including the Coach Approach.
A great place for health wellness
The variety and the sense of community
Nice and clean
Friendly staff
Your Active Older Adults program. Thanks team.
Variety of opportunities to exercise or workout such as weight room, walking track, exercise classes, and many others.
I have not participated in many activities and programs at this facility.
clean place with helpful
staff
A job well done to DJ and others who coordinated this “Splash” event yesterday 6/19/26. Thank you for all of your thoughtfulness, exquisite taste, and diligence for arranging this event. I let out a deep breath as I express that “We needed this.” It was amazing to see all of these beautiful children with smiles on their faces. They deserve it. I’ve been a member since 2006, and this may be the best event that I’ve attended, its only close rival being Trunk or Treat.
This event even inspired AJ to end his adamant protest against swim lessons so he can be free of being shackled with flotation devices and in the future can go swimming with the big kids.
I will be looking forward to participating in more events like this and I would even like to volunteer at some events in the future. And most importantly, we will be signing AJ up for swim lessons.
We need more events like this and more sports programs for our children at this location. i should not have to go to other locations to participate in their programs. I was going to cancel my membership at the end of this summer if it weren’t for the Splash event. i hope we have more events and programs to look forward too.
Friendly Staff and trainer's knowing there jobs.
The leaders and swim coaches seems very interactive and motivating.
The programs, the coaches, all of the activities. The friendly people, seniors classes.
Staff are always friendly and the pool is always great
I use the gym and the pool and overall I am very content. The folks at the front desk are fantastic and helpful.
Ms Gwen at the pool is lovely!
The pool does gets a bit murky (bandaids and random things floating around) at times so I very much apprecite the deep clean going on this week. I have noticed that very few people shower before the pool which I think should be enforced for eveyone's safety and the lifeguards should have authority and initative to do so. After the pool closure last winter, I noticed that the lifeguards changed. The current ones are mostly on their phones if there are only adults swimming (not a huge deal but if there ever was an emergency I would. not trust them to save me). During the summer there are a lot more children and families (which I 100% support) but sometimes all the lanes are taken by people just floating around and throwing toys. I have on many occasion asked the lifeguard on duty to help me find a lap lane (as all the aquatics teachers have advised me to do) but they are young and hesitant and the instructors usually end up being the ones helping out.
The gym is great, everyone is respectful, the machines are mostly operational and I appreciate the many wet wipe locations you all offer.
I would be ahppy to score the Y at VIllages at Carver Family YMCA a 9/10 if it were not for the current lifeguards. I try to swim at the East Lake location but it is much too busy.
