Member Testimonials
I've primarily used my YMCA membership for the group fitness classes. Specifically, the Fierce Funk classes with Nicole have been such a highlight. Nicole is a great instructor, but she's a student favorite due to her kindness, warmth, and positivity. Her classes have become an important part of my weekly routine and are the biggest factor in the decision to continue my YMCA membership.
I like the variety of classes offered at all times of the weekday especially in the morning- spin, core, pickleball, etc.!
Many options
Everything.
I like the community feel to programs and activities.

East Lake is our favorite Y in the city, we drive out of our way to get there! There are a couple ellipticals with broken water bottle holders / one or two are slightly off center, but overall we love the pool, workout spaces and atmosphere! Haven’t tried many classes yet but looking forward to it - interested in yoga, cardio and more!
It's family friendly to the community, It's very goal oriented, Is exercise classes and equipment or great, I love the coach approach
Availability
Firstly, I LOVE that this facility is so clean, safe and welcoming. I am a mother to 3 children with two being babies so I am just getting back in the hang of working out. The PlayCenter is a huge help to getting my fitness goals accomplished while knowing that our children are safe and nurtured. I also recently did the Initial Coach Approach and I am so happy you all offer this to members like me who are getting started again. As a full-time housewife and mother, the Parent's Morning/Night Out is such a relief. I am so happy that you all support your members and MOTHERS. Thank You So Much!
Great classes snd diversity
This is clean , well maintained facility with a kind professional staff.
Fantastic and friendly staff!!!
Pool is kept pretty clean. There seems to be a lot of equipment available
Pre-pandemic East Lake Y had a wide variety of group exercise classes at several different times. That made it very easy and convenient to work out.
I love the loving environment and I exercising and experiencing the sauna! It’s so welcoming and my family feels safe here while enjoying our favorite activities at the Y! My kids love the pool area!
The classes and instructors are great .
I like the water aerobics class,I just wish it was offered at a later time
The variety of programs are phenomenal!! Aerobics! Swimming! Running! At a good price.
What’s not to like. The Eastlake YMCA is accessible to me, it’s clean, bright and well maintained. The staff is friendly and always available.
We love the staff, very helpful and resourceful. Our destination is the Aquatics. We have a routine of swim, steam, whirlpool and sauna. Thank you we love it.
The classes have been great! More water aerobics classes or a couple later at night would be amazing but I’ve been really enjoying my membership. Thank you.
I like the Y a lot! I primarily swim and take the spin classes. The have a strong mobile app that makes it easy to book appointments, though you have to book your swim appointment quickly if you want a spot. People are vicious and are ready to book as soon as they can.
The facilities are kept really clean, and the bathrooms are always stocked on shampoo/body wash. I wish they offered towels, but that isn't a huge problem.
I also wish they would upgrade their lockers so we could actually use them safely. The Piedmont PT center uses self-customized-PIN lockers that keep my stuff safe. You have to keep your things on you the whole time to make sure they are safe.
For the price, it's a good deal!
Yoga should be at least an hour, ideally an hour and 15 minutes. Sarah, the yoga instructor, is awesome! The facilities are always clean. I love being a part of the YMCA.

I liked the look and feel. Very diverse. Really good instructor for the 5pm Zumba!!! Energetic class, good music for me = fun sweaty work out.
