Collects items for those less well off who must reside in extended stay hotels due to limited housing stock in the area and lack of Medicaid expansion meaning higher costs for health care in Georgia.
I like the diverse programs and activities they offer a holistic approach to well-being, fostering a strong connection between mind, body, spirit, and community. Physical fitness classes, from swimming to yoga, invigorate the body, while educational workshops and art programs stimulate the mind. Spiritual growth is nurtured through community service initiatives and inclusive gatherings that promote a sense of belonging. Ultimately, the YMCA creates a supportive environment where individuals of all ages and backgrounds can thrive, strengthening not only their personal wellness but also the fabric of the community as a whole.

Senior strength class
I have enjoyed the group ex classes that I have taken. The teachers are welcoming and helpful. What I most love is the sense of community - lots of members have been warm and welcoming, which has made it less intimidating to try new classes. I do wish there were more group ex classes in the early afternoon (2 and 3pm). Also it is a little stressful that classes fill up so quickly. But otherwise I am very happy with the Y! (and I especially love the posters that demonstrate the Y's commitment to diversity and inclusion!!!)
Love the Decatur Y. Look at fixing some of the tears on equipment, certain treadmills TV channels are scratchy, men’s room upstairs needs an air freshener.
Love the facilities and people. Thank you!
