I do like the entire programs ant the friendly environment.
Love the clean facility and super friendly, helpful staff!
The wellness center
It is pleasant place to be, with good people. Up lifting for body and soul.
Almost 10 out of 10 times that I enter the Y, I leave feeling better than I did when I walked in.
I originally joined for the exercise machines, and possibly the pool. But now, pickleball! Thanks for restriping the courts. I look forward to playing through the summer and into next fall.
My only concern about the Decatur Family YMCA is the POOR maintenance. The showers in the men's locker room often have loose handles which are about to fall off. When this issue was brought to the attention of the Y management, there was minimal improvement. The soap dispensers are not refilled often enough. The repair of broken water fountains elsewhere in the facility are taking too long considering their importance to those who are working out. I have great admiration for the mission and values of the Decatur Y, but have been disappointed by the stewardship of the facility.
Great staff, variety of programs/classes for all interests.
Please consider expanding summer programs (all day) for special needs community age 16+ (aka adults). This is where the community and special needs metro Atlanta as a whole needs YMCA help, especially for working parents!
Thanks!
Jean is the best yoga instructor I’ve ever had. I’m glad there are now two gentle yoga classes with her on the schedule. It’s hard to make the same one every week because my work schedule is always changing. Thanks!
I love the size of the Decatur YMCA and also the friendly staff
I love the Y! I used to go as a kid and just started going to the ymca in Decatur this year. It’s a great community. I love the equipment and the kind people!
Nice variety of programs, good teachers, friendly folks
It meets my needs. I go, I do my machines and free weights, I leave.
I wish the bike parking was actually sheltered by a roof and not by a tree, and that it was closer to the door.
I love the variety of classes. All instructors are excellent
The water works are wonderful and if one really isn’t interested in getting to a destination the treadmill is the location of departure.

I take 2 Zumba gold classes. The teacher is fabulous, she plays great music and it's always different. The people at the desk are friendly and remember me. I wish the weight equipment were kept cleaner. It often needs dusting.
