Member Testimonials
My home facility is Decatur but I also use East Lake for classes on days where I like what's offered there more than Decatur. It's a great facility. The members and staff are wonderful
activities and classes are centered and directed toward different family members interests and abilities.
The Y is all about family
I enjoy the classes and coach approach has been very helpful in guiding me in the right direction to losing weight.
Water aerobics is something I'm actively involved in during the 7pm class with Linda. I would like to see it offered more days of the week and offered earlier than 7pm. I like when the class was offered at 6pm. This allowed me enough time to get from work and allowed me time to get home before it was too late/too dark. With the 7pm class I get home sometimes after 9:00pm.
Enjoying my swimming class. Should be an hour 40 minutes is not enough time to catch breath and learn especially when class is full.
Variety
Friendly, no nonsense place to exercise. I use the lap pool and the spinning classes and love both.
I would say the locker rooms could use a refresh, but I'm happy overall.
I love the sense of community, the commitment of the staff, and the variety of fitness activities available at my East Lake Y.
The pool is clean - the water usually clear and the staff very friendly.
classes and child care
I have recently only been able to use the machines and not take any classes. What I love about my YMCA are the wonderful cheerful helpful delightful people who work there and make my Y a happy place to visit.

The staff and facilities are very good
Alfreda does a great job with the 6 am Tues and Thursday interval class....
Over a year ago the pool staffing was funky with never opening at the same time (life guard may or may not show up on time). I was glad when the pool opened at 5:30a so you have time to swim and then go to work.
Lots of fun classes to select from
Accessibility. At every level.
Childcare, clean facilities, and pools
Bring back parent and me too!
Lots of classes
Morning group exercise classes, outdoor pool
I like the Summer Camps for my kids, the Cardio classes and Yoga that is offered and the Outdoor Pool in Summer. I would like to have my eldest check out the Teen Center too at some point, that looks good.
