Member Testimonials
I like that my Y has a pool, sauna, and steam room. They offer a wide variety of classes at varying times, which is great. I would like for them to play music in the free weight area and to add more free weights and machines. But overall, I enjoy my Y!
Lots of classes for all levels.
The convenience and variety
I love that the Y feels like you're part of a huge family. And there are so many choices for activities!
Variety for all ages
I like the family atmosphere and sense of community. The class schedule isn't as good as it used to be though.
Keep some internal conpetitions to kids like swim competion, challenges betwwen the kids groups for volunteering actvititeis, etc....
Love water programs
Grateful for all the kids programs!
A good facility with friendly staff.
We find the YMCA to be a fantastic place for families. The staff is also very helpful, and we especially appreciate the coaches who offer guidance on what would be best for our individual needs. The steam room is a great addition as well. My kids absolutely love the indoor swimming pool, and our whole family appreciates the wide variety of exercise equipment available.
The classes are outstanding! The instructors are very knowledgeable and utilize different exercises and equipment to keep workouts fresh.
It’s always a welcoming, inclusive space with friendly people. It’s the best of East Cobb. It’s easy to book classes online. There is plenty of equipment.
They have the cleanest ladies locker room in the system. It is super quiet on Sundays. The back soccer field picnic tables are a good place to have lunch.
Water aerobics with Marion Gibb. Marion is fantastic and makes exercise fun
I like the many times during the day that you offer yoga classes. I'm always able to find one that fits my schedule
Very friendly and well organized open play pickleball program. Al keeps it running smoothly 😀
The Zumba instructors and the total body instructors are great. Special shout out to Dell, Jen, Sue, Guili and Fern.
Variety of programs/cleanliness
I love the friendly and comfortable environment! Feels like home amongst those who are kind and genuine to me.
Varieties of classes and programs. Courteous and helpful staffs.
I can tell people aren’t judgmental and the facilities are always clean
Variety, hours
The Y has great classes for people of all ages and abilities. I have made good friends there, which is more difficult as an adult with grown children. The staff is always friendly and helpful.
Everything! Kid activities great workout equipment
I love using the salt water pool! Everyone is so friendly at the Y. There are so many fun activities for kids.
Easy access to the facility throughout the week. Polite friendly staff and variety of equipment, exercise rooms and group programs, something for all ages. Clean bathrooms, pool and sauna.
It's not merely a gym; it's a community. Don't get me wrong; I love the range of fitness offerings from dance to strength training and self-defense. You can find a class that meets you where you are no matter your age or ability. The activities beyond fitness (e.g. gardening, knitting) allow me to get to know folks that I would not otherwise encounter. It feels like the old neighborhood community that raised me. Nobody is in each other's business, but they are available to lend support or encouragement when needed. McCleskey YMCA feels like a big hug.
Marian's swim classes Monday and Wednesday and Crystal's swim class on Friday - they are phenomenal and help me stay in tip-top shape physically and mentally. I also enjoy the 8 am Monday class and wish it were offered more often.
The variety of classes and the time frame of the classes.
