Great variety, staff is friendly and professional, great hours.
I love that there are a wide variety of programs that keep both kids and adults engaged!
Helpful friendly staff. Nice facilities. Great kids sports like gymnastics
I love the Decatur YMCA! I am so happy they have started a Special Olympics basketball program! Wonderful, happy staff who encourage everyone! Thanks to Coach Ruth, for always encouraging me to take time for me!
Friendly staff, great facilities.
Wish there were more (varied) early morning class options.
I really love the facilities and the staff. The facilities are very clean, the staff at the front desk and upstairs and the cleaning staff are all very nice people. I also feel like a "person" when communicating with the staff - I am not made to feel in ANY WAY as though I am simply a "customer or number". It is a friendly environment, personable, yet very respectful to the individual. The security officer in the parking lot is wonderful as I am a lone female and like to park in the back lot. He makes me FEEL SAFE. Wonderful facility, wonderful staff - absolutely no complaints from me!
I have not participated in any programs but have been very happy with the Decatur YMCA overall. The daycare faculty and staff is excellent.
My family enjoy playing basketball and swimming and using the exercise machines.
Barbara, Stephanie, & Lloyd’s aerobic
swim classes and Carole’s water Pilates.
What a way to start a day!

i like the variety of group classes offered throughout the day
We’re new to the Decatur community and decided on a Y membership for the “community” aspect of a gym.
We like the variety of programs offered through the YMCA, the regular communication and e-newsletters, the friendly staff, nice gym equipment, and great workout classes.
Our favorite class is the Tuesday/Thursday 0930 HITT class with First name removed. She’s a fantastic trainer and puts together a strong workout.
We also love the front desk staff! They are always friendly and create a welcoming atmosphere as soon as you walk through the door.
The Decatur YMCA isn’t simply a place where we workout; it’s a place where we belong.
Great range of activities fr youth. Excited about peloton bikes. Clean. Generally friendly staff.
I like the variety of options available. Also, the hours are good.
Great facilities. Friendly staff.
Fun and engaging. Prices could be a bit cheaper though.
I love Pilates/barre/Zumba w Jess and ash
There’s always some interesting workout class available all times of the day. I prefer the spinning classes which have been great.
I enjoy the pickleball.
The cardio equipment, the weight area, the cleanliness of the locker room, the towel service, the friendliness of the staff, lots of parking. If there was one thing that I would like to see changed, it would be closing @ 7 on Saturdays. Other than that, it's a great place to work out!
The teachers are great, the diversity in the classes reflects my community and the mission reflects my values.
Variety, long hours open, politeness of those who work there.
Great staff. Great facility and nice members!
Easy to access, not crowded (I'm usually in weight machines early weekday afternoons)
I love the variety of classes and the hours the Y is open.
