Member Testimonials
Awesome place for family menbership
The Y is convenient and clean. There are many classes available which is what I prefer. I wish that there were more yoga classes and possibly a Pilates/Yoga class.
Love the 45 minute classes!!!
Please keep them at 45 minutes. It is perfect!
Love the walking track and the wellness classes.
Caring trainers/staff and variety of programs
Fantastic senior programs with great instructors.
Clean gym, great daycare, amazing pool
Something should be done about tennis court reservations, especially now that there are two less tennis courts. People still book the courts and never show up, which is very inconsiderate to those that are looking to book a court. There must be consequences for those who book a court and don't show up to play.
Facilities are great.Do not normally partake in programs and activities so have no opinion .However, programs and activities appear to be excellent for children of Atlanta.
You have a lot. The schedule and sign-up process is overwhelming to me.
I like the new gym equipment. I also like that there are a number of programs for seniors. It is nice that they accept some med advantage fees for membership even though they told me they don’t accept my plan - Cigna
I normally use the Decatur Y, but was in this part of town, so tried it out.
The yoga room was very spacious, with a good supply of the necessary supports; the teacher was knowledgeable and responsive; and the facility altogether was clean, quiet, and pleasant to use.
A good experience! I live too far for this to be my usual Y, but am glad to recommend it to others.
I like most things but I'd like to tell you about something I do not like.
In the room with the weight machines (ground floor - across from weight room) there are or used to be signs limiting people's use of the machines to 1 set if others are waiting to use the machine.
We also have signs saying cell phone use is not allowed.
Very good...but!
What I see now and what irritates me is that a very large % of the membership use the machines as "resting places" from which to take care of email, send or review texts or read internet.
I frequently see people monopolizing machines for 10 minutes or even 15 minutes while they sit there - not using the machine - with their cell phones in hand.
On a few occasions when I have been at the Y trying to do my workout, almost half of the machines have been tied up by people playing with their cell phones.
Granted, at least they aren't talking on their cell phones (which seems to be the only thing the signs against using cell phones mean), but these people are still clogging the works and delaying everyone else with their extraordinarily selfish fascist command of the seat.
I wish the Y would address this problem.
Wide variety of classes, equipment, programs; great, dedicated teachers; quality equipment.
I absolutely love the management and place location
The Sanders facility is consistent.
All teachers work hard to present exercises in various challenging yet fun ways! Never boring but really good workouts!
Group Ex, outdoor pool, so so many youth activities!!
Good equipment, good exercise classes. The one thing that keeps me from giving the Y a 10 is the towel removal. I understood during Covid but they never returned and it's very difficult to keep wet towels in the car. I would rather have had the monthly price increased. I really like to go into the sauna after a w/o but its just too much trouble to pack towels and then take wet towels home.
The weight lifting areas are comprised of new equipment coupled with a professional caring & well trained team.
The area is immaculate & environment one of friendly comradeship where regulars jostle with each other and newer folks easily mix in.
I can’t say enough about the latest addition of digital equipment. If your form is off, the machine doesn’t “credit the rep”. Accountability is fun!

I love your place and staff!
I like everything
The staff is very friendly
I feel at home during every visit
I mainly use the Y for working out. There is every type of aerobic and strengthening equipment needed for a varied and comprehensive program for staying fit and healthy. The facility is always clean and well maintained.
Tennis, gym equipment & facility
I always boast about Buckhead YMCA. The classes are superb. The offerings for children and young folk are superior. The daycare for when you are working out is pleasant, active, safe, a blessing. I am not the only Senior that balances their week on attending Senior Strength/Cardio and Water Aerobics.
