YMCA of Metro Atlanta
2 reviews for YMCA of Metro Atlanta
From a tennis standpoint -- from facilities to the teams themselves -- Carl Sanders YMCA continues to disappoint. This past Saturday, we were the visiting team and my partner experienced a ruptured tendon during a match. When I ran the near-half-mile to the front desk asking for a first-aid kit, they looked at me like I had nine heads.
One gal said she'd go get a kit and bring it to the courts, she never did. the second gal pointed me to the ice machine and went on with her business. I insisted she give me a plastic bag I saw in her drawer, and she seemed insulted by my pushiness. I grabbed the bag, filled it with nasty ice in the ice maker, and ran back to the courts.
Turns out that my partner is scheduled for tendon surgery, so it was a very serious matter that they brushed off as nothing.
How is it possible that a YMCA facility, one that hosts ALTA and USTA matches all the time, can be so unprepared for a medical situation?
We'll leave that question out there. Secondly, and on a more personal note, I don't get all the douchebaggery that goes on at this facility with their tennis teams. Seems to attract the underbelly of Atlanta's competitive tennis scene ("WATCH ME PARTNER!" as our opponent would yell out before every point his partner was serving - seriously?), and the clay courts are generally kept in subpar shape.
This facility needs to revamp their service to the tennis courts - especially in emergency situations - because it feels like we're in Timbuktu when we're playing. I gave them a two-star rating only because the facilities are nice -- it would have merited a one overall.
Not good.. the cardio and weight area are so close that i could spot somebody while on the eliptical.. the stafff are okay but its seems like everything is set up for swimming and the tennis chicks.. The tennis situation is very much buckhead wives kinda of deal. The offer nothing fof children over the age of 7...
Had to quit my son actually likes playing basketball and the consensus among the powers to be is that no one can actually play basketball on the basketball court.. its only for whatever event they have goin..
