Member Testimonials
Facility is clean and equipment is well maintained
The only complaint I have is that the no phone policy in the weight room is not enforced by the staff. Members are thus required to act as 'monitors.' I have seen one encounter nearly come to fisticuffs. When seeing members sitting on machinery, scrolling, or texting, staff should kindly-but sternly- ask them to cease and/or relinquish the equipment to fellow, rule abiding members.
Cycle instructors are great. Lots of options for times.
Great teachers- yoga (Kim and Megan) and functional fitness (Joseph).
Nice pool.
Organized, in time, and with qualified instructors.
Knowledge, friendly instructors teaching a good variety of classes.
I don’t really participate in anything but cardio and weight machines- but the facility is clean, the machines are well maintained, and it’s a safe environment.
Great facility, equipment, and staff. Staff members and coaches are knowledgeable and always willing to help.
I really like some of the instructors. I’ve developed personal relationships with them and they really understand and encourage me. This Y also has a very active and encouraging weight room environment.
I love the pool
First and foremost is that Wade Walker is a friendly place, with smiles, greetings and encouragement in abundance! Secondly, it is the closest Y to me, and has excellent equipment and resources. There is a warm, welcoming vibe there. My only complaint is that some people "camp out" looking at their cell phones while others are waiting for a station to be freed up. I suggest having signs around the room encouraging people to be aware of others waiting for various stations, and if lots of people are there, suggest limit 2 sets per station in such cases.
The programs are many and targets each need. Staff are supportive and friendly. It is the right place to belong
I like some of the classes. I would like to see a consistent daily schedule, for example: Body Pump Monday, Wednesday, Friday 10 am, rather than the current schedule with random classes throughout the morning.
Variety of beneficial programs with knowledgeable instructors.
Great instructors and variety of classes

Would like to have a Sauna, can one be added?
Staff is friendly and helpful.
I help with volunteer activities, it’s convenient and I can fit it in my schedule
Helpful caring staff. Very clean. Equipment in very good condition.Terrific for most ages.
The staff and the members. I go early in the morning, however, and many members who go later in the day complain that they have to wait a long time to get access to the weights and workout equipment in the room with the treadmills. That needs to be expanded with additional equipment.
I love that there is so much to do and any piece of equipment I want to use is available to me. I'm still new and getting engaged but I can't wait to take part in classes and other activities
Excellent gym facilities, pool and yoga classes. I appreciate all of the windows and being able to look out at the tees.
I like the exercise equipment, the pool, and the orderly running of the facility.
I LOOOOOOOVE the variety of classes offered at the Decatur location. The facility is always clean. The front desk could be more friendlier. They rarely/never speak when guest enter (well only to the guest they know). But other than that, I love the Decatur location :-)
Great instructors (Lindsay) and a wide variety of class offerings at different times, clean facilities.
ample parking available. welcoming staff. clean facility. large variety of equipment in fitness room. frequent upgrades to equipment on floor. clean, easily accessible steam room. track is too narrow and hard to access. nice post-workout area by pool

I like the atmosphere of building community. The helpful nature of the staff. The friendliness and openness of the staff.
