I love the gymnastics program for my toddler and the staff at the play center is amazing! My youngest took a few visits to warm up to everything as he was in the midst of the typical separation anxiety that sets in around 8-9 months but everyone worked so well with him and it is now one of his favorite places to be!
We love Ms. Mary and her staff at the Decatur Y Child Center! Mary runs a professional and safe childcare center with a friendly and caring environment. We’ve been impressed with each of her staff as they care for our child. We love them and absolutely recommend it to anyone!

The staff and facility are great. The showers don't have much pressure, and this YMCA has become exceptionally crowded. I've been going to East Lake sometimes to be sure I can get on the Peloton bike.

I have been a Y member for 25 years. In the mid-80's I was a "Dancing Aerobics" instructor, and many of my former class participants are still Y members.
The diversity of DDY staff and membership is an OUTSTANDING strength, from age, to race, to disability, to gender identity. DDY's commitment to the under-served and refugee communites is extraordinary and most commendable.
The class offerings are vast, the instructors, and Wellness Coaches, dedicated professionals, committed to helping members meet their wellness/fitness goals.
