Member Testimonials
I love the East Lake and Decatur YMCA. Everyone is always smiling and kind. I love Carol Hyman's Meditation class and the Step it up class on Tuesday and Thursday at East Lake with Elgin.
I use the Peloton bikes when they are available and working. I really enjoy the access to the Peloton bikes and the on-demand capability of being able to cycle.
I also appreciate the early opening hours.

I love the club. Some things that are a problem for me are not being able to get into the Pump classes, even if I am sitting on ready with my phone.
