Everything.
Variety of programs/classes.
It's a community - from the people that greet you at the front desk to the instructors, staff members and patrons - I feel like I belong at the DDY.
I like the environment. It's casual, but well-run. People are friendly. Machines are kept-up and the group classes are really good.

Gym well equipped
I love the variety of offerings. I would appreciate more cardio kick and traditional yoga classes. Also, the Decatur Y weights and machines area gets STINKY. Need some fans or Febreeze.
You are always greeted by the person at the front desk with a friendly hello, towels are available in the workout area and the locker room and the equipment is maintained and repairs are made in a timely manner.
The Monday evening basketball practice and game play for disabled kids is a very good program that looks to be a lot of fun and the kids appreciate it.
Exercise classes have great teachers

That it opens so early and offers great programs (like Body Pump) when other centers are still closed. Great for early risers!
