Member Testimonials
Most exercise is drudgery. I like being able to talk to other people that are at the Y going
through their drudgery.
I would like for the ability to reserve a lane in the pool. We used to be able to reserve lane 4. I found this helpful. I am not the best swimmer, and am very liable to bump into someone I am sharing a lane with.
Thank you.
Great facility with a multitude of programs and classes to promote fitness regardless of a members age:
Been a member for years and try to get to Y five or six times a week
I love the variety of classes that you offer and the newer machines that immediately sync with my apple watch. If I don't have time to get to a spin class I also enjoy the peleton options, some great classes.
Variety of exercise of classes; abundance and variety of cardio machines and weights.
The Decatur Y has fantastic classes and instructors. I, and classmates, appreciate the camaraderie, plus the exercise opportunities. It is a jewel in Decatur’s crown.
Water Aerobics
The YMCA staff and members treat you like family they're very nice, kind . Parking is nice and safe. The staff goes above and beyond to help you with your needs.
The Decatur Y offers a lot of different activities for all age groups and fitness level, which is great! I've definitely recommended a few to friends when they're thinking about joining.

Water Aerobic and walking
I love the pool, especially when it’s warmer and there is music playing. Some life guards are very polite and friendly, not all.
The staff is very helpful and friendly. The women’s dressing area and restrooms are clean. I like going to the Kimberly’s yoga classes best.

Great instructors, and a variety of activities.
Clean pool, whirlpool and steam and are hardly ever closed. Multi-generational members. Friendly vibe. Great spin instructors, especially Joseph L.
Good class selection, clean equipment. I wish there were more classes after 5 and more yoga classes, but overall happy with everything.
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.
I love the welcoming spirit of the staff and of my fellow Y members. Body Pump is outstanding; it’s a great workout with fabulous instructors!
