The variety of classes offered.
I LOVE the senior strength classes with Jen Mayo. She does a terrific job of keeping older, but active, adults moving. I never miss her classes.
Love it grate staff all around grate
The close time is different than wade walker at stone mountain. I would like to know why it's different
I like the reservation system for the lap lanes. Also Jenny at front desk is knowledgeable, friendly, and efficient, both with application process and with questions I have HD since then.
I could not attend my Y branch because they are closed on Sundays.
Order aerobics was fun with BJ
Fierce Funk with Jermaine is so fun. I like the Pound class also.
Small and easy to access
Great facility by and large, most staff capable and friendly. I'm very happy that the swimming pool reservation system put in place during the pandemic has been retained. It's so nice to be able to predict when you can swim, especially if you have a lane to yourself (some of us do not swim well with others lol).
One quibble: it used to be that members wearing street shoes were not permitted to short cut to locker rooms via the pool area, for obvious reasons of cleanliness. I see people coming and going through the pool area all the time in their street shoes these days.
Fun center for the kids and the huge variety of equipment available to work out. The layout is insanely organized. Plenty of space for everything. Everything is incredibly clean and accessible. Thank you!!
I like using the equipment in the gym.
I'm new to Atlanta and joining the YMCA gave me a chance to enjoy what I experienced in in Baltimore. There was the the same very friendly staff. I've taken the Gentle Yoga class and it was great. Clean, well taken care of, all good. I'm pleased and feel at home.

This Y is very friendly and folks tend to know each other more, I have the feeling, than at other branches, perhaps because the building is not really large. I like to come in and use the machines upstairs.
I haven't found any classes I've wanted to join in a while, but I have in the past enjoyed Body Pump. The folks at the machines are very helpful whenever I have asked for assistance with any of them.
