Welcoming, professional staff. Good culture. Clean.
I absolutely love that I can come and work out with my entire family. So many gyms have limits on ages and I love that myself and my teens feel at home when we are working out. I love that I can drop off my toddler at the child care center and not have to make a reservation in advance! At previous gyms, if I forgot to reserve the spot for my child I couldn't work out and being a working mom, that is just impossible to keep up with! I love how friendly all of the workers are and I love what this particular center has to offer! At Carl E. Sanders, we love taking advantage of the outside pool and all of the family events!
The Buckhead YMCA is an amazing place. Over the last 16 years our family of 7 has really enjoyed all the facilities. We started off using the childcare on a daily basis so I could have a moment away from my small children to workout and have time to myself. Then we grew to love the outdoor pool with its zero entry and wonderful water slide. For years my husband would be found on the basketball court at 5:30 am playing several games until he aged out of it. Ha! My kids have all taken swim lessons in the inside pool and my big kids love the basketball court. My husband and I workout in the weightroom on a daily basis to this day. Occasionally you will find me spending time working near the inside pool at one of the nice tables nearby. It is a great family friendly place to be apart of. It has served our family well over the years and I hope for many more.
Love the numerous options!
Friendly staff and location.
Foremost, I am grateful for the courteous, welcoming and knowledgeable staff at the front desk. Secondly, the safe and secure location and facility are the best in the city. Thirdly, the training layout and equipment is always in topnotch condition. Finally, the broad spectrum of group training classes, schedule of classes from morning to evening and the expertise of the Personal Trainers are gold standard.
In addition, although I am no longer the mother of little children, I greatly appreciate the warm welcome and attention paid to parents with children for fun and safe activities for the little ones while the parents can enjoy the time to work out and reduce their stressors from work and parenting. Afterwards, the family can gather together for fun at the pool or tennis courts.
Carl F. Sanders YMCA has been a fun and healthy blessing to me in my retirement! Keep it going!
variety of activities and programs, skill level of instructors, hours of operation
We love the outdoor pool! I would suggest opening the outdoor pool starting at 9am. Thank you!
They are varied and so easy to sign up for
Many people miss you providing towels for workouts & especially the sauna & shower areas. With Clorox & the new detergents, it could be done safely. Otherwise I love your facility & the staff who run it!
I use stairmaster, coupke machines and steam. I’ve tried alot of classes but can’t find any that I like. Please bring back Cardio funk. Years ago, you couldn’t even ge5 in Kim class, always had @40 people. None of the classes today have good music. All the music sounds the same,,,,snoosville ,,
