Swim
I mostly go to Linda R.'s Wednesday class -- active adult strength and cardio. She's wonderful. I get so much our of her class! I used to go to Marquetta's zumba gold on Mondays, too, but that's no longer offered. I wish you'd bring another zumba gold back.
I like the diversity of offerings. From the pool to the group workouts and all of the equipment available, I can always find a space to engage my health and fitness needs.
Haven’t did any
Coach approach & any class headed by Joy.
Wonderful instructors and staff. It's easy to find and book classes, the pool is wonderful, and it's quick to get in and out for participation in scheduled activities and programs.
The pools
I love the classes and the flexibility with time
great
Friendly staff!
Beautiful swimming pool area. I used the basketball court as well.
What is there not to like?? I love the family atmosphere, the professionalism, the cleanliness, the updated equipment, the knowledgeable staff, the classes, and the sessions for retirees. After my workouts, I love winding down in the jacuzzi before ending my workout in the steamroom or sauna. My insurance allows me to go to LA Fitness for free, and I still prefer to pay to go to the East Lake YMCA!!
Diversity of classes. Helpful staff. Love that the Y works with the school. Supportive reachers.
Indoor pool, clean, nice mix of workout spaces.
I would suggest adding a bench or two to the weight room. Feels like a lot of the 10, 12, 15 LBS weight have moved to the front room with the turf, both rooms should have those same weights.
Training help is great! Love the spa.
Teachers are all great!
The types of classes and the leaders of the class are nice fit for various age groups. They make exercising fun.
I am really enjoying the "NEW" water ballistic water class which give the participants a unique way of enhancing the strength of our core...the flexibility of muscles...and working on balance through the use of yoga ....ballet...and stretching...ALL in the water...what a great experience!!
I'm also part of the "coach approach" which controlled weights are utilized as my "blood pressure" has been today normal...(was extremely high- hypertenstion)...as I am mo stored by a doctor every 3 months....
Since retirement, I have thoroughly enjoyed the "Active Older Adults" organization which gives us seniors a place to "socialize"....go on trips....and learn healthy health habits....We seniors feel as though we belong!!!!
I am discovering fun and healthy "new adventures" monthly at our Eastlake "YMCA!!!
I have only taken classes with Joy and Misha and they are great motivating coaches as I'm sure all your staff and coaches are. Also, interacting with the members is great.
Great Community A.B.

The East Lake Y stepped up to accommodate pickleball players during summertime for players at the Decatur Y. They have done a great job and their personnel that I have experienced are wonderful and helpful.

I especially enjoy Lisa Bennet’s PD Balance and stability class on Tu and Thu. at noon. I love the pace and movement of the exercise program and Lisa’s energetic presence. She ad libs with wonderful health tips and her music choices are well-suited to the routine.
Many choices at many different times.
