Group exercise classes
The diversity and times of the group classes. The cleanliness of the facility.
Your programs are given at times that are very accommodating.
Variety of classes, available hours, different levels for beginners and athletes, good equipment,indoor swimming pool, coaching, nutritional training, clean facility and friendly staff. Very comprehensive wellness program in a welcoming environment.
The programs and activities are age appropriate and are available to fit the varied schedules of the members. I like the variety of programs and activities, including health screenings and Farmers markets on site.
The customer service and support your staff gives. You are not judged by your looks or condition. You are looked at ad a YMCA participant.
Lots of options, friendly environment
Friendly and helpful employees, exercise programming/variety and schedule, quality of group fitness instructors, and the (always) cleanliness of the facility. There is nothing to be displeased or unhappy about at this Y!
Many and varied programs, diversity of membership, friendly staff.
The group classes! Zumba and strength training classes, the friendliness and helpfulness of the staff, the diversity in people at the Y, the programs for the community, the cleanliness of the building!!!
The Decatur and East Lake Y’s are wonderful!!
cant type much but i like care shown by staff and the all inclusive attitude toward programming
I love the exercise classes. Most of the instructors I've had are outstanding and very personable - they remember names, convey a sense of fun, etc. The same is true of the woman who helped me get started on a weight routine. Jan still encourages me every time I see her. I experience a strong sense of community at the Decatur YMCA. I recently participated in a volunteer event and enjoyed meeting other volunteers. Even the folks at the front desk are wonderful - they always remember my name. Now, that's really something!
Gymnastics for my girls, child care is nice, so I can get my workout in.
Great facilities convenient location
Water aerobics. Senior low impact classes. Friendly front desk and staff. Cleanliness. Hours. Good communications.
Facility is clean, well - maintained, and rarely too crowded. The towels and water dispenser are nice touches. Wish there were 8:30 PM classes.
Variety of classes!
I like your classes and instructors
Staff is really helpful, great fitness facilities and programs
I love Zumba Gold, the friendly instructors and staff. Classes are fun while getting a good workout.
I love that I can come in and take a variety of classes, almost whenever. Great teachers -- super friendly! I haven't used the pool, and used the weight room and gym once (both fine). I like that you have community events (though I haven't participated in any yet). The desk staff/registration staff is almost always friendly. Everything is clean.
My one suggestion would be to have even more classes -- particularly during later hours and on Saturday and Sunday. Sometimes the day goes by and I missed my opportunity to participate due to work schedule (and I am not a morning exerciser).
Also -- I wish I had been participating sooner! So, yes, I would recommend.
Friend look y staff, clean environment
