Claire's yoga classes
I like the machines so far. That is all I've used so far.
Family focused. The teen programs and activities that cater to the community.
Variety of programs available.
non-judgmental, accepting environment; convenient hours; affordable; multiple locations throughout metro ATL
I like that they are there. Yoga and tai chi in particular for me but there is something for everyone it seems.
What a great place!
I love the dance/mind body classes.
Variety
You have activities for all ages!
Also the people that work at the Y are very nice and friendly.
I like rhe wide variety so there is something for everyone.
Scheduling classes could be improved, though. For example, on Tuesday, tai chi is at the same time as a yoga class. I think some of the yoga folks might go to tai chi of it were not at the same time.
Friendly helpful staff. Nice facilities.
There's a nice variety of classes for everyone and the wellness center is very well equipped. It would be amazing to have some more equipment at the gym like punching bags or boxing classes at the YMCA in Clairmont Rd.
Bodypump, Core, and Yoga classes , and the instructors are the best!
I like the flexibility of the scheduled class times and the options to work independently or with a coach.
Group exercise
Great daycare
The Decatur Y is like Goldilocks and the Three Bears. Some gyms are too hard core for us. Other gyms feel more like places to show off your Lululemon. The Decatur Y feels welcoming to all and just right for me and my family.
The competitive gymnastics program at the Decatur Family Y is utterly outstanding. Great coaching, a warm atmosphere, careful staging of skill development that keeps injuries at a minimum, and amazing individual attention, including top-tier individualized choreography, all come together to make this a rare find. Add to all of that the very reasonable cost and the concerted effort to make the team experience accessible regardless of means, and you have one of the best programs out there, as reflected both in the gymnasts's notable success at competitions and in their camaraderie and excitement about spending time together. We would love the Y regardless, but this program is a genuine jewel in the crown.
There are activities and equipment for different levels, ages . The coaches are knowledgeable and very helpful for those who may need assistance with customizing a exercise routine as well as. Assistance with equipment and exercises.

I love the spin class, Sudie is the BEST! And I absolutely love the Play Center. After having my first child, I knew I had to find a gym with childcare. The Decatur Y playcenter has exceeded all of my expectations. It is always extremely neat, tidy and clean and the staff is exceptional! I don't know what I would do if something happened to the Decatur Y Play Center; the staff feels like family to me. Thank you for helping me achieve my wellness goals and providing wonderful childcare.
