Member Testimonials
The variety of classes, exercise machines and activities. The family-friendly atmosphere. The play center for babies.
The Y has something for everyone and it is very accessible. My husband and I have been going for over 20 years and can't imagine not being a part of the Y.
Beautiful facility, not over-crowded, good workout class schedule, great staff.
The lovely view from treadmill area.
The dressing room area.
Absolutely love the yoga classes and instructors!
Lots of classes to choose from...have enjoyed group cycle and Zumba. Also appreciated the health coach guiding me through the equipment and setting up an exercise routine for me on my first visit - with the guide in the folder with equipment settings, etc. when I need it.
Friendly people, instructors, staff and members.
Variety of classes. Yay! Body Pump!
Clean and up to date facility . Staff is friendly & efficient.
I love the "Y". They provide many options for exercise.
I'd like to see a different variety of early morning classes. Spin seems to get the good spots at all of the metro YMCAs
We really enjoy the variety of activities and the friendlyness of the staff.
Many many varied programs to meet the needs of most age groups.
B8g weight room!
It offers a well rounded experience. I normally stick to the weight room but if I'm looking for heavy cardio or a class I'm set. Decatur is my favorite Y.
great staff, great atmosphere, diversity of the clients, great classes
I love the instructors, especially turbo kick and body pump... I'd like to see more options for these classes: I really enjoy turbo kick at 9:30 on fridays and would really like to follow it with the 10:30 body pump, but the bars for body pump are almost always all taken even if I leave the 9:30 class early..it seems like you have to get to body pump at least 15 minutes early to secure a spot, so it's almost impossible to take both classes even though they are sequential on the schedule.
All of the coaches and students are so welcoming to new people, and very willing to help.
I like that you added the gentle yoga class on Sunday at 4:00. I find that it is just what I needed. Hopefully you can add more gentle yoga classes.
I like too many aspects to list. I think the DFY programs and activities are the best. As a single dad raising a boy and girl, DFY has been a huge and irreplaceable support system. Thank you!
Friendly and efficient staff at the front desk and helpful/knowledgeable staff in the weight and treadmill areas.
Lisa is wonderful. She is always kind, does not mind explaining the same thing over and over and she even is enthusiastic about repeating the same information. She is also very knowledgeable. I am very lucky to have her as my trainer
Excellent service and staff
I like that there is always something going on and something that we can participate in.
I like the skill level of fitness instructors and state of the art equipment. In fact, I drive to the DeKalb YMCA and pass a facility within 5 miles of my house. The environment, results and education are important to my health and wellness.
Wide variety of classes for all ages
Number of types of water aerobics classes
Coaching on weights and equipment
Instructors are caring, pace things well, and there are a variety of options.
Very client friendly, the environment and customer care personnel and programs. We my family and I have been members of the YMCA for over 10 years. The Decatur has always been our favorite, thank for the service your provide.
All the employees are always super helpful and friendly. Can't say enough about Donna, Ruth, Doug, Joanna, Tanya, Tracy, Kayla, Patrick, and anyone else I left out.
Just joined so not enough time to replu
While I enjoy the workout area, the great staff (Ruth is awesome!) I must tell you that the steam room and pool area need some attention. I think the problems with folks putting aromatherapy stuff in the steam outlet and playing music have been addressed there still is not the level of supervision of the steam room that is necessary. A staff person should take a look in there fairly regularly. I am in there very often and don’t see that ever. The other issue is benches around the pool. When you leave the steam room, it would be nice to sit and cool off. Unfortunately, parents and staff use the benches like lockers and they are constantly piled up with personal items. Several additional benches by the pool and whirlpool would address this. I’ve made this suggestion numerous times with no reaction.
