Member Testimonials
I use the pool at Decatur/Dekalb Y. I really appreciate how well maintained the pool is as well as how clean the locker room is.
However, I was disappointed to learn that the lane reservation system has been discontinued. I am not a very proficient swimmer so I am very uncomfortable trying to share a lane. As a result I have not been swimming very much this month (January) especially with all the "New Years Resolution" members. I was using the pool for physical therapy for my hip, but now my hip has suffered bc I'm not at the pool as much.
Your "commitment to inclusion" seems to apply to the pool only if you are already an accomplished swimmer. :-(

I attended class "Dance Party" with instructor Alexz for the first time on 1/25. I throughly enjoyed the class...it was upbeat, high energy, great music! In spite of the lenghty drive...I'll be coming back:) Corrinne C.

Like Classes
We used the swimming pool once with our kids. They love the pool. I would like to suggest that you open up the hot tub for kids (maybe allowing > 6 yo). My kids love the hot tub, but they are not allowed to use it due to the > 18 yo age limit.
We have been using the machines in the gym. Some of the machines are not working for a while. I am curious if their are plans to repair them and by when if so.
Overall, our family loves going there to exercise.
I love the community aspect of the Y and the instructors are terrific!
I do have one request --- can we PLEASE get more light weights (2 and 5 lbs) for the outdoor body pump classes. We have been told that these are on the way but these weights have not arrived and are still needed. Thank you.
I enjoy using the pool, cardio, and weight machines. Everyone is friendly and it's a nice place to be
I like the group exercise classes

The instructors and members are always so friendly and helpful when needed
pool

weight room
A wide variety of choices for activities.
Clean and family oriented - great place to work out.
The variety, and the welcoming space.
FRIENDLY STAFF
CONVENIENT HOURS
FRIENDLY PATRONS ( EXDEPT FOR THOSE WHO SIT ON THE WEIGHT MACHINES AND STARE AT THE PHONE WHILE OTHERS ARE WAITING. THIS IS A REAL PROBLEM, ESPECIALLY WITH YOUNGER MEMBERS, WHO OFTEN BECOME ARGUMENTATIVE WHEN
ASKED TO EITHER EXERCISE OR VACATE A MACHINE)
Love every offering at the Decatur Y. The staff is warm, welcoming and inclusive. The fee is very reasonable for all of the many offerings. Love that when traveling I can visit any Y, nationwide for free.
