Member Testimonials
The Decatur Family YMCA provides me with a welcoming, fully equipped location to try to maintain fitness as I get older. The staff knows my name and I always see long time friends, both former students and neighborhood peers who have grown up with me in Decatur/Midtown/Inman Park. I try to visit 3-5 times a week for aerobic and resistance training at my own pace.
I like all of the restorative/gentle yoga classes. They are appropriate for persons with joint mobility problems.
Multiple aerobic and strength classes. All the instructors are devoted and fabulous. Clearly not doing it for the paltry pay, plus they pay out of pocket for certifications.
Extremely kind and attentive personnel. The exercise/workout area is fully equipped with an excellent variety exercise and weight stations.
The trainers and the equipment
Swim
Pilates
Decatur Dekalb YMCA is a great place for working out on your own or participating in classes. The staff are knowledgeable and the facility is clean and inviting. You can always find a time if you want that it's not too crowded. Staff is helpful and parking is easy.
The vast variety.
I love the vibe at the Y, I love the staff and their genuine commitment, and I love this new, healthier me that I found there.
Everything!
Many options at a reasonable price
The pool has a good number of lap lanes. Its clean and a good temperature.
I LOVE the BodyPump classes!
Great coaches, good equipment, wide variety of classes, clean facility, atmosphere of support and encouragement.
Men's locker room, and shower area especially, is too cold. I wish we could reserve at least one swim lane. Staff are generally very friendly. I did not like that the date when my dues are deducted from my checking account was arbitrarily changed. I could not get an answer at the time from anyone at the Y as WHEN it was supposed to be deducted.
I love the variety of exercise offerings. Everyone is really kind and your hours work for my schedule.

I love the 45 minute classes!
We have one-on-one swim lessons with Lala, and she's amazing. Such a talent for getting the kids feeling comfortable in the water, such a great focus on survival skills, and so much joy in the pool. I've recommended her to everyone who brings up swim lessons. She is just wonderful!
