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 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.
YMCA is a family oriented facility focused on activities that family needed into there community. I wished that they have one closer to me at Stockbridge near Eagles Landing. As a single mother & took care of my two kids, YMCA given me freedom to exercise while my kids had room to grow mentally & physically on their after hours program. Thank you, YMCA!
The host at the front desk. They are very nice and polite always good morning.
Accept, I don't like you all cleaning crew. The bathrooms are always dirty. The showers always smelly. They never keep the bathroom clean. But the crew that works at the front desk and the managers always good. And polite cleaning crew a horrible. That's the only complaint that I have. You always changing cleaning cruise that don't know how to keep the bathroom cleans. Showers are staking no tissue in the stall the bathroom floors are never mopped or clean. that's my only complaint.
I only attend Eatslake for yoga. It used to have the best yoga/Pilates instructor I've ever had, but she was let go during the pandemic. It also had a great spinning instructor, but she was also let go during the pandemic.
I love the YMCA and grew up going to the YMCA to play sports and work out. I think the East Lake location needs to seriously improve its gym/weightlifting area. Many of the YMCAs that I have been to have large weightlifting areas that include many squat racks, deadlift platforms, plenty of barbells, and rubber bumper plates for olympic/power lifting. This location has only one squat rack and a total of 4 barbells. There is no place to do deadlifts and no rubber bumper plates. There are many activity rooms at East Lake that could be easily be re-purposed for additional weightlifting space.
I'm a happy supporter of the YMCA and have been for many years - I think it is a great place for people to engage in a healthy lifestyle. But East Lake's weight room is so lacking that I pay to go to a non-YMCA gym to lift weights. Thanks for your time.
I love the family-friendly environment, my kids love the pool, the workout facility is amazing (inclusive of the sauna and steam rooms). We are over the moon happy with our membership.
