Swimming!
Aquatic center
I like the workout classes
I love the activities and classes at the E. Lake facility. All the areas are always neat, clean and in great condition. I have already registered my child for swim lessons and I look forward to continuing my own weight loss journey at the E. Lake YMCA.
Facilities are great, but even better are the instructors and people. I like the spirit of the place!
I like and enjoy the different activity classes

always kind and helpful employees and instructors. thanks
Only been there once, because I live very close to Decatur Y, but the Zumba instructor was very good
I only attended East Lake Y once to do Yoga with Danielle. I had the best experience from the front desk to actually locating the class. Danielle's voice was so soothing and relaxing. She made me feel comfortable when going into the various poses. I'll be back for sure!
The East Lake YMCA is a clean and well-maintained facility. The staff are friendly and welcoming. They have an excellent swimming pool and a wide variety of fitness classes. I particularly enjoy the yoga classes! I always look forward to going to the East Lake Y.
Two or 3 treadmills need some fixing. The weights are great, as well as the pool and what services are offered.
I like Eastlake because it is family friendly and great customer service, several classes to chose from.
