Member Testimonials
Very good facilities
The programs that I'm familiar with seem to be fun, beneficial physically and mentally sufficient, In addition to enhancing your strength and conditioning.
I love the YMCA of Decatur. However I wish they had Special Olympics for those with Disabilities! The staff is very friendly. The only two problems that I see is not having adequate training for those with disabilities like sports teams or training. And some of the staff are obese or they appear to be not in good physical condition.
I usually use all of the machines and weights. I like the layout of the room where the machines and weights are located. There is enough space to do a workout and not feel like someone else is in your lap.
Diverse, convenient schedule of classes and programs.

Love the gym and the classes.
The variety of programs is excellent but what I like most is the people, both the staff and my fellow members.
I love the number and variety of group exercise classes! Additionally, it's so important to me that the members and participants in classes are so diverse. I never worry about what I look like or feeling goofy, I'm able to relax and have fun.
