Member Testimonials
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
The safest environment.
Everything. I want an abdominal twister machine, though
Pool classes, whirlpool

Lots to choose from
Support for children in our community

The Decatur Family Y has the best & most dedicated teachers & staff possible. They offer more diverse classes than any other Y & the day care is amazing. It is truly a family atmosphere there & everyone cares about everyone else. It takes the pain out of working out & makes you enjoy yourself!!!
Variety of offerings and friendly leadership.

Perhaps more evening one full hour cardio classes? Then I can really sell the Y to my full-time working friends.

Swimming pool & steam room
I love the gym facilities offered at Decatur Y. I am thrilled with the fact that they are now offering children's services two days per week so that I can work out.
Multiple classes, family oriented friendly stick by rules ref to cell phone of others on phone while working out
My husband and I enjoy a different facility for the classes we want to attend. Meeting new people .
Group exercise classes especially Body Pump and Yoga
Wish you had more exercise programs for seniors. Also health and wellness classes. And a book club for seniors. I'm sure there are plenty of nurses like myself who exercise there and would be willing to teach a health and wellness class. The Y can be a place of taking a holistic approach to health and wellness and not just exercise. Thanks. Judi Cohen
I love "Fierce Funk" class with Jess and Ash--they make group exercise a BLAST! I have never had so much fun sweating!
I love the big, bright, cardio machine room! So many choices and machines....
