I love the East Lake Y! The facilities are clean and well-maintained. There are many options for exercise spread across several small rooms, so the environment is not too hectic. I never have to worry about being crowded or running into people. I also appreciate that there is no music in the workout areas, so we can choose to work out in silence or listen to our own music. The pool is nice; I just wish you would stop using the lane reservation system as it is not convenient for me and there is usually plenty of room anyway.
Great Activities for active seniors like me. There are plenty of classes throughout the day. The instructors are phenomenal and I am motivated by their support and enthusiasm. Confident in my resolve to keep showing up !!!!
I use the pool. It's great
Great staff, great classes. Love the pool!
I use the indoor pool 3 times each week and also will walk on the treadmill when the weather is bad. I love the East Lake YMCA!! Staff is so nice and helpful, wonderful lifeguards and pool director!!!! Thank you!!
I recently recommended the Y to my parents who relocated to Atlanta. I like that the Y offers classes for seniors and Parkinson’s
The Y summer camp programs are great! Also, the private swimming lessons.
I am in love with the pool for now.

I am part of the AM Basketball group. I love to start my day at 6am "ish" playing basketball. It is a great way to "still be a kid". From picking teams to playing as a team to hopefully win "All" your games that day. And then do it all over again (2 days later). Need that day to recover.
Enjoy the pool. No longer see the point in clinging to scheduling a lap lane. The reason that started was to distance people during the beginning of Covid. We have been sharing lanes (NO distancing) for well over a year. Kill this "umpteen" click system.
It is a great place because of how good people are there and how well maintained it is and because of its great location and it’s not too crowded.
The versatility of various programs and activities and the dedication of the instructors. Also, the politeness of the staff in general. Truly a family 👪 environment.

I like the diversity in the classes. I also like that the machines are spaced out.
I like the Senior exercise classes and the Active Older Adults group.
Lots of available options to choose from
Fun!!
The programs and activities are in a very positive, family friendly environment and suit all levels of fitness with modifications as needed. There’s a wide variety of group exercises to fulfill any target areas.
The outdoor pool is great this year! really nice lifeguards and staff!
I like how many options for exercise and movement there are in one facility. I'm a stay at home mom so the biggest perk is childcare while I exercise.

I like the safe environment the Y provides for me and my family when we're engaging in programs.
