Member Testimonials
They are geared for all levels of fitness and the instructors are great. I love taking classes at the Y or working out on the machines and weights. What I love most are the staff and how they always go above and beyond!
Family Friendly.
I like the fact you serve the community and assist people for whom the cost of membership may be a burden.
I love the neighborhood community feeling of the Decatur Y--so many wonderful staff and community is what keeps me coming back.
The instructors--especially in yoga are better than ever. Just started spin--thought I wouldn't fit it but boy, was I wrong! What a great group of people.

We love the variety of group exercise programs. There's something for everyone. All of the instructors are good and many of them are outstanding! All of the staff are courteous and very friendly to the members, responsive to questions, and most importantly, attentive to safety.
We don't use the child care center -- but it is fun to see the children playing in there. It also shows everyone what good care they are receiving.
Classes are taught by trained professional instructors who’re also friendly and knowledgeable. In addition, most of the members are friendly and encouraging. Our Y has a “family-like” atmosphere where we truly care for each other.
