Member Testimonials
I like the diversity of classes you offer.
I enjoy the Tuesday night Pilates class with Catherine Jachthuber very much and drive out of my way from Norcross just to attend it.
Good teachers (Kim and Lloyd)
Clean
Friendly staff
Good variety of activities. Friendly staff. There is a problem with accuracy of the online schedule, though.
I live in Brookhaven and usually go to the Cowart Y. However I have been driving 10+ miles out of my way to the Decatur Y because the group exercise classes are so much better. I just took a Body Pump class today at the Decatur Y. This is not offered at Cowart. Equipment at Decatur is new and up to date. The instructors are great at Decatur.
I love all the classes Aviva teaches - chi gong, belly dancing, etc. She is an amazing teacher & walks her talk with deep commitment.
I like that there are so many classes & it's always great seeing so many kids of all ages. I hope you can reach more teenagers who certainly need support/mentoring/constructive/empowering activities.
I like the pool, but wish it were saline instead - don't do chemicals myself. It also needs to be cleaner. The women's changing area could be cleaner too. I know there is heavy usage.

I love the YMCA of Metro Atlanta! The staff is always friendly and welcoming! So are the other YMCA members. It is a family oriented location with fantastic classes to choose from.
I only use the upstairs workout facilities
The pool and sauna.
helpful people in charge with good attitudes. makes all the difference!
Swimming classes and kids activities. ymca is my second home. and I want say thank you for the scholarship and helping family like me.
I enjoy the family atmosphere of the Y. Activities are available for the very young to aging adults!
I love that this YMCA is in my community and filled with friendly people that work there and also those that exercise there.
Clean facilities and programs offered.
What do not like:
The outdoor pool removed the existing single lap swimming single lane. The guards are expecting lap swimmers to swim around the children playing in the pool. I was told that they removed the lane becasue they could not enforce people going in the lap lane. This seems to me a very poor reason to eliminate the single lap lane becasue of their lack of lifeguard enforment skills.
Pleas put the lap lane back in the pool!
Variety of classes and times, instructors
Variety of options but there should be later times for kids programs for working families
Variety of workout groups scheduled at convenient times. Group teachers seem knowledgeable. Lots of Cardio machines with limited weight time. Machines are spread out so don’t feel crowded. Staff are friendly.
