The YMCA in Buckhead is truly a special place that prioritizes both our physical and mental well-being while creating a warm, inclusive environment for everyone. It goes beyond fitness by uniting families and uplifting those of us who are underprivileged, including thoughtfully connecting families to sponsors during Christmas, which means more than words can express. From the moment you walk in, it feels like a big family—welcoming, supportive, and genuine. The programs are diverse and thoughtfully designed to reflect a wide range of cultures, socioeconomic backgrounds, and personalities, bringing the community together in meaningful ways. It is, without a doubt, a true family YMCA.
Easy to use facilities. Friendlyness of staff. Have met and made new friends at the YMCA.

Quality of the whole facility. Robust racquets play - especially pickleball. Great workout machines. Not noisy like some gyms
Fitness
I like the exercise and dance classes. Looking forward to pickleball at some point and going to try out the pool. Everything I could need to exercise!
I love the variety of fitness classes and the quality instructors. Also, all of the amenities make sure you always have something to do!
The activity was enjoyable, and my teen had a wonderful time!
The variety of activities for the kids.
I love your instructors, and the fact that you've really increased the number of great classes for the "active older adults" group. Thanks!
The fixities are well maintained and hours of operation are ample.
The Fabulous staff - especailly in the Wellness center- Ana and Martin are the best
I live very close to the Y and so convenience is huge. I can always get in and out and the instructors are always consistent and present with plenty of variety. I only participate in group classes
The YMCA is a well equipped whole family health and mental facility that is inclusive to all members living in Atlanta. There are activities for all family members that believe in total health in a fun and recreational, yet challenging environment. The staff are supportive at all levels and greet most people by their first name. No pressure here. The competition is without stress for the kids, parents and grandparents. You will enjoy the overall atmosphere and friendliness of the patrons. Join, your family will not regret it.
Clean locker rooms and showers. Abundance of classes.
Great activities. We love tennis for kids
Great, efficient, courteous staff. Well-maintained equipment. But would you please put up a banner in the workout spaces that says "You must wipe down equipment after use."
I love love love the outdoor pool and indoor whirlpool. The classes are super fun. This location added evening and weekend classes when I inquired about it. I work 9-6 and not able to make the day classes. I prefer this location over the Y closer to my house. Everything about this location is inviting. The reception. The staff. The facilities. The classes. Much appreciated.
Great variety of programs and times
Well coordinated
You offer a variety of classes and programs for all ages.
New equipment, nice amenities, and it’s usually not too crowded to get a quick workout in.
Variety, friendly, reasonable cost
Variety of classes offered each morning. Interesting family events celebrating the various holidays. Outdoor pool in the summer. Ability to play basketball on the court with my granddaughter. And the Play Center to care for my granddaughters while I attend classes.
I enjoy the weights and Tai Chi. The facility is always clean.
Thanks!
My home Y is either East Lake or Decatur but I frequent the Buckhead Y bc my child attends a nearby school. Love it!
Great pool. The lifeguards are attentive….i have never seen a lifeguard on the phone or falling asleep (an occasional issue at a few other Ys). Tender attentive playful childcare. Pilates classes! The space is open and clean. Meditation classes on Wed nights. I don’t spend time in the weight/treadmill areas so can’t answer there. Staff are always courteous and helpful.
