Indoor track
The programs are well organized and lots lots lots of fun
I especially like the hours- I am able to get my workout in and head to work
Indoor swimming pool
I love the scholarship the Y offers to non-traditional families like my family. My husband and I are raising our grandchildren and had to make some major adjustments. We both had to compromise our full-time positions and work part time to care for of the children. It has been different, however I wouldn't change a thing!
The grandchildren has attended the Y for a few years now and they love it! The coaches and staff were Amazing this summer. We are able to participate in the 55+ activities, take swimming classes, etc.
We are so Grateful!
With gratitude,

The Play Center is a true life saver! They are so sweet to my boy and it allows me to workout without worrying about him.
Plenty of options for all ages
The variety in group classes and the different weight machines. Coaches and staff friendly.
Thank you.
- I like the Y Cycle Fusion Class on Monday and Saturday. The instructor Linda is energetic. The workout is solid, exciting, and fun.
- I also like Elfreda’s Tuesday and Thursday aerobics swim class. However, the slots fill up fast making it difficult getting into the class.
- Step it Up with Elgin’s class is priceless. Excellent workout. Unfortunately, due to work, I’m not able to make the class most of the time.
Great gym facilities, pool (indoor and outdoor). We enjoyed basketball last winter as well.
Staff is friendly, facilities clean and equipment in good condition
Pickelball
I love that the exercise classes are 45 minutes long. Please keep them at 45 minutes long.
Wide variety of classes
I take a lot of exercise classes - and have really liked them (some are very popular), but I also love the community activities East Lake Y participates in - programs for children and older adults and swimming/water safety programs and pickleball, of course. The staff are wonderful.
I love the play center and Parents Morning Out—-gives me the chance to work out everyday and then get a big 4 hour break on Wednesdays. The staff at the ymca is amazing, especially the play center attendants. I love this place and my family membership at the YMCA
Great coaches and times for classes. Facility is clean. Staff is friendly. Love being a Y member!
I enjoy the classes, the community and people. My only frustration is in the weight room where some individuals monopolize two machines at one time…leaving their personal items on one machine while they are working out on another so they can move back and forth between both without delay…and folks who are on their cell phones…watching videos or texting…while sitting on a machine. Seems some folks don’t get the idea of communal space.
Pickleball
Boot Camp and Coach Approach
Love all of it! Wish the play center was larger and there were more fans added back to the functional fitness room
The staff is super nice and straight forward, and all the members are also extremely nice and great to workout with
I use the YMCA facilities almost daily - mostly the pool and the indoor track. I am very happy with experiences at the YMCA.
We have loved the swim classes they offer. I also love all that the YMCA has to offer for thenprice! I’m able to bring my kids to the play center while i exercise.
The equipment in the gym is great —amount of equipment and variation. It’s never too crowded for me and the weight room upstairs is excellent. Also the outdoor pool is a huge plus.

I love the variety of offerings!
It was very clean and nice!
I enjoy the morning classes that allow me the opportunity to workout and enjoy the company of others before work. As a postpartum mom, I like that I can participate and get back in shape while not feeling judged.
I like that the facilities are updated and really appreciate the availability of the outdoor pool.
