I love Christina M’s water fitness classes enough to travel to this community y to follow her but I prefer the buckhead y. The main reason I don’t prefer the Cowart Y is the temperature of the pool is just a few degrees warmer than the buckhead y but it makes a huge differerence when you are working hard & have had hot flashes for over 23 years now after cancer & hysterectomy. I prefer water fitness classes because I badly injured my left shoulder & brok my left leg both bones, the left ankle bones & left foot bones so the pounding from running is nearly impossible on dry land but I can push myself much harder & longer with out having excessive swelling & pain after attending classes. But the Buckhead y is our home because of the closer location & they have the towel service there as well. It just seems like people wipe more when there is towels provided. Honestly though we have a huge water fitness class at the buckhead y & the best instructor ever is Christina M. She makes working out fun & actually enjoyable.
Water aerobics, Zumba gold.
Easy to schedule
I have only recently rejoined the YMCA so I have not gone beyond using the cardio machines and free weights.
Great pool
I enjoy the regularly scheduled classes for Senior Strengh and the ability to walk on the track anytime when outside is not conducive to a good walk.
This was our original YMCA that our family attended until we relocated to Kennesaw, it was good to be back where we started at. The improvements to the facility are great and we look forward to coming back when we are in the sandy springs/Dunwoody area!
Love that classes are good for all ages! Safe, but challenging.
I like the Senior stretch and and strengthen classes and chair yoga. Iit is also very good to have some social interaction.
Availability- Options- Kind, Personable Instructors and Employees
Great facilities, wonderful staff.
I’m a runner who can’t run outside in the cold months so I like the track. It would be nicer if it were warmer in there. Sometimes it’s almost as cold as outside. Also the rules need to be observed by all who use it. Otherwise it’s great...always clean and well maintained. Thank you.
Clean-well run!
The wonderful instructors, Jae, Katy, Stacey, Aaron, Leah, Marquetta! The new classes you offer, pi yo, barre, and many Zumba options.

N/A
We love everything about the Cowart YMCA - the facilities, people, equipment and programs are all excellent. The one thing I don't like is beyond our local Y's control - it's the policy about reciprocity. I have a second home on Amelia Island in Florida, and there is a Y there. I can't use my Brookhaven membership at the Amelia Island Y. (Actually, my wife and I are limited to 14 guest visits a year) They say it's because Metro Atlanta never joined the national reciprocity program. This needs to be reconsidered.... quickly. Other fitness clubs have full reciprocity.
