Early morning group classes before the workday
I like the chill 5AM crew. Friendly, but easy to get everything finished in an hour.
I like them all because they meet my needs and fit my schedules.
good facility, good hours, helpful staff
I love the group classes, especially dance and yoga. You have great instructors. I especially like Nicole Yates and wish she could teach more classes.
There is something for everyone. People of all ages and backgrounds are made to feel welcome and appreciated.
Great trainers and facilities as a whole is well maintained.
Wide range of classes. Excellent staff and instructors.
It is a conveniently located gym. However, i miss when we could schedule a lap swim lane. Sometimes you show up to swim and have to wait, because you have no way of knowing how many other people are there...
I like that Decatur offered picketball for beginners 1 hour Tuesday and Thursday.. For advance until 12. The steam room and the Jacuzzis is nice too.

Spin Class, specifically Andre Taylor's spin class -- it's the best in the city. We also like the other fitness classes like Body Pump. Open gym for playing basketball with my son, and, the free weights and weight machines are always in order and well kept.
