Member Testimonials
Terrance is awesome!
Facility is beautiful and well kept. The course teachers are OUTSTANDING and there so many interesting group classes ! Just overall wonderful, good energy.
The staff is very professional and courteous, the facilities are very clean.
would like more cycling classes at 6 a.m. during the week.
Something for everyone
Since covid, most of the programs are back up and running 🏃♀️ full speed. There was a lack of instructor for a minute. Due to the uncertainty of the pandemic. Now there is a buzz in the air! All of the activities back on line and participation among members has increased tremendously. East Lake YMCA had dedicated a pickleball court just for our enjoyment and pleasure. 😉
The facility is clean and the staff are friendly.
Swimming is amazing
I really only take Indoor Cycling once a week now, but the class is amazing. Joseph is a GREAT instructor and the people at the Y are wonderful. Although I'm not there as often as I used to be, I always look forward to going. It's a special place that has community and great activities for all ages.
I love body pump so I'm disappointed that some classes later in the mornings were canceled. I hope someone will step in to those slots so classes can resume.
The Y is a very welcoming place. I have been a member for about 12 years.
The Y has bounced back well from the COVID closures, but admittedly that was tough.
Would you please consider returning those group exercise classes to the 1 hour length. There are many classes that take place in a space that is EMPTY after the class. This should be easy.
Consider the time and effort it takes to get to a class with traffic and the cost of fuel. Frustrating to have a YOGA class end so soon.
You wanted to hear from me!!
