Member Testimonials
Great pool!
The classes are high energy and the members are welcoming.
Following an extremely long break, I've just started back at the East Lake Y. I'm currently trying out some classes. I'm having a great time. People are friendly, the facilities are very clean, the atmosphere is fun - and not ultra competitive, like at other gyms.
Elfreda S is the highlight of my day each time I am able to attend her class! She is an amazing instructor and is quick to adapt to everyones needs.
Clean, nice pool size, not crowded, and it is closer to my home than the alternative healthclubs. ;>)
They’re well organized and lots of fun
I love the weight rooms and the class options.
Swimming and exercise classes
EXCELLENT SERVICE!
My kids and I have LOVED the outdoor pool with the slide and swim lanes. My favorite part is that the pool has an extremely large shallow end and the sloped bottom entrance.
Teachers are excellent. From the front desk to the custodial workers, everyone is friendly and helpful!
As a parent, I can't say enough good things about the YMCA. It's a fantastic place for my kids to grow, learn, and have fun. The variety of programs—ranging from youth sports to summer camps—keeps them active and engaged while promoting teamwork and friendship.
What I appreciate most is the YMCA's commitment to inclusion. They create a welcoming environment for all families, regardless of background or ability. The staff is incredibly supportive, making sure every child feels valued. The YMCA truly feels like a second home for my family, and I highly recommend it to other parents looking for a nurturing community for their kids!
Love everything about the Eastlake Y. Thank you.
It's has a lot of programs for all ages!
The sauna is AMAZING
The pool and the staff at the Carver YMCA are excellent! I like the fact that they put some cardio equipment now on the main floor.
Everything!
I really like pound it's my favorite class , I wish staff were more helpful
The pool is very nice and is the reason I go to this YMCA. The men's shower area, however, could use some love. Water pressure is low and the shower curtains are musty. But those are small quibbles in an otherwise excellent facility.
All programs are outstanding and helpful
clean facility; enjoy going there. lots of options
Every little Events to the greater Activities and Social Activities..
Great classes and instructors!
The facility is very clean and it’s a lot to do while being there
Weight machines and easy of parking.
Great for the family and kids
The facility itself, the equipment, the family atmosphere, the cleanliness, flexibility. My concern is too many members violating “No Cell Phone Rules”. Also, the punching ball has been flat for the past two years, even when after I raised concerns about the issue. All in all, we really like the Y and highly recommended it to others.
Kids programs.
The new weightlifting equipment is great! And generally I love the vibe and the staff at East Lake.
One problem is that the exercise classes in the studio next to us plays music SO LOUD that I cannot even hear my own music through my ear buds! And they keep the door open. Why should everyone be forced to listen to the class music? It's rude and just not necessary.
It would also be great if the staff is alert to individuals being rude: watching TV on their phones *on speaker* for example, having long / loud conversations on their mobile, lounging on a machine for five minutes texting while others are waiting. It's so much better if the staff gently suggests to them that it's not considerate. If I do it, I'm a Karen.

Quickly access to steam room, hot tube (whirl pool) , Sauna , workout equipment are really what I like.
