Very safe & Clean!!
Everything
Being able to schedule a pool reservation.
Mostly I like the pool and weight room.
Appreciate the hours of operation, cleanliness of facility, and compliance with mask wearing. Love the variety and amount of equipment / machines available for use. GREAT pool!
5a.m. door open if you need any help someone there just ask. I feel safe. and I love that. equipment can be wipe off a little better but that's housekeeper part. we clean up very good but in the morning it look very dustiest early in the morning the hard wear part.
I am just using the indoor pool now and love it!!!!! Looking forward to using more of the offerings once the pandemic is calming down and I am vaccinated. The indoor swimming pool is beautiful, clean and a pleasure to use!
You are doing a great job keeping the facility clean and safe during the pandemic, and for the most part I think that the other members are very respectful of one another during this time, so it is a great community. I really like the available machine/equipment and classes.
In particular, I really love the Friday morning Pilates classes with Julia H. My favorite class at the y! Her classes are a perfect balance of challenging but also accessible and welcoming.
Also, love the 100 mile swim challenge. It's been a long time goal of mine to swim and that challenge is a fun extra motivation to actually do it.
The facility itself is super maintained and the guidelines in covid-19 procedures and organized and it's convineanace to where I live
I workout using the treadmill and with the machine weights on the top floor. I like that equities spaced so that I feel safe. Also, sanitizing supplies are readily available. The staff is friendly, welcoming and accessible. I feel as though the YMCA at East Lake is a significant part of "my tribe".
I like that the machines are easily accessible . There are lots of activities provided for children .I like having assistance there (trainer) when I am unsure about working out and or the use of a machine. the open layout of the facility is great ,everyone can workout without feeling crowded. The best feature yet is the suna.
I love that you have a peloton and I am starting my kid in swim lessons. I am excited for him to start soccer next!
I’m happy to have the pool available. The staff is doing a great job keeping everything spotless. Thank you!
Pool and exercise equipment
They help a person stay physically fit.
Great job at staying safe!
Swimming bicycling whirlpool Sauna
I really like the POOL and clean hot tub which is not as clean at the Decatur YMCA
Aquatics, Youth Programs, Senior Programs, Classes, Weight Room
I like the Barre class with Julie and I want to try her Pilates call too. Also they have 4-5 Pelaton bikes too.
The swimming schedule is excellent.
It's clean. Staff is super friendly and helpful.
I think you are making a mistake and endangering people by not requiring masks. Ys in Pennsylvania require them, and people do it. That room you set up doesn't even have a bench to lift weights with, even though the room next door have plenty of benches. if you want people to be safe, add more things to the room and open other safe rooms.
also, I've talked to others and it's a real problem there are housekeeping staff through items left away or take them.
there's an empty building across the street by the cross walk. and there are steps leading up. It would be a great business and community opportunity to work with a nonprofit development corp, or even for profit, or do it yourself -- open up a healthy eating and meeting space, or have lodging. Ys do this all over the country, either hostel-type, or transition, or senior. There are tons of new living complexes around so an eating establishment would be utilized and since it's so close to the Y, you could do some great partnerships.
thanks for asking!
I'm appreciative that the gym is open and my children can get some activity.
I like the financial assistance program and the group classes. For the group classes, I specifically enjoyed step and spin. I hope to continue going to this Y in the future and recommend it to people in the community.
They are all great.
I am a new member and I am impressed by the atmosphere and how well organized the Y is regarding signing up for classes.
Clean Wellness Center and pool deck. Attentive lifeguard.
Indoor and outdoor pool
Spin class occasionally
Clean locker rooms
I rotate between the Decatur YMCA and East. East Lake's exercise equipment is in better condition. I love my spin class instructors at Decatur YMCA (Sudie and Sarah) and I discovered an excellent one at East Lake (Steven). I'm a fan of both locations and appreciate all of you!
Very nice people. And clean area to work out n.
