Variety of classes offered at different times.
I like the variety of programs offered during the day.
I like that your activities are both affordable and geared for a variety of ages. There are classes and equipment designed for gym rats and senior citizens.

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.

Clean facility and staff are friendly and helpful. I haven't participated in any scheduled programs or activities. I only use the gym and cardio equipment.
