Member Testimonials
Decatur YMCA is like family place the programs and activities are very comfortable .
I love the pool and numerous machines. I also like the towels and overall cleanliness of the facility.
Dear, Decatur Y. Going to the Y is like getting a shot of energy. I like that there are some programs geared to seniors as well as more vigorous ones for younger adults. I like that when I enter, I'm always greeted cheerfully. And I like that you have provided a wonderful nursery so working parents can participate. Being a grandparent, I can appreciate that! AThank-you.
My favorite part of the Decatur Y is their staff. Whether it's the people at the front desk, the people at the membership desk, the childcare staff, the swimming instructors, the gymnastics instructors, or the cleaning staff, everyone is incredibly welcoming and great at what they do. I am so impressed every time I go to the Y and think the staff do an incredible job of working towards the Y's mission of health and inclusivity.
It’s nice

Fitness Center and its staff
I like the wide variety of classes at various times of day. The wellness room is great and I love the good water aerobics classes.
It's all inclusive. I love the Decatur YMCA :)
Passionate instructors in group exercise!
There are many great programs at the Y. The program my husband & I like best is pickleball which meets 3 mornings a week. It is run by Dave Mathews. All the people we have met are friendly & really seem to care about one another. It is good exercise, & we really enjoy it. When you come into the Y, the first thing you receive is a hello & a smile from a staff member.
Everyone is so friendly and helpful.
They are very friendly and helpful. They explain things to you if you have any concerns or questions about anything.
Variety of exercise classes
The facilities are good and the people that work there are friendly and positive
Classes & instructors are great!
I love spin class but it's hard to find a spin teacher that can make it exciting. Shelby Katz at the Robert Fowler YMCA does just that. I wish there was one as good as her at the Decatur Y.
I love BodyPump. Why does the Cowart YMCA not have it?
Basketball, workout gym, lockers, showers, pool, pool, sauna, jacuzzi, excellent employees
