Member Testimonials
I give the Y credit for helping me to have good health at 79. I work out three times a week using the machines. I went through coach approach with Ruth several years ago and still track my food and exercise as I was taught to do during the program. I’ve continued to maintain my weight. I also like the way the Y supports the homeless and economically disadvantaged.
Very pleasant people, friends to be around while you work on the drudgery of exercise.
The variety of activities, and the dedicated staff who performed those activities
Easy to navigate, friendly staff.
Love the 45 minute classes!! (An hor is too long.)
Accessibility and firendliness
The wide assortment of equipment in the main exercise area, from cardio machines to weight machines and free weights.
Body pump. Wish there were more classes like this.
I like that my gym membership goes to programs that feed and care for the health of my community
There are a variety of classes offered, most of the ones that I’m interested in are offered at convenient times that align with my schedule.

Have not attended a dingle class. I go to exercise in bike or elliptical
The equipment if late has been a letdown. New bikes are not uniform and often dont work well. This is a disappointmnt as they are new!
The best excercise classes and wonderful instructors.
Large and spacious daycare with friendly staff and many toys.

It is a nice facility and a great community
I like the variety, and the way the staff show that they really care about you.
The front desk staff are always friendly and helpful. Terrance is helping me get back onto the equipment safely, after my surgery. Ruth is always helpful, and willing to help us get healthy.
All in all, the Decatur Y is great!!!
One suggestion...the lock boxes on the wellness floor are beginning to stick. Maybe the spray cleaner is not the best for the boxes. And sometime they end up in lock position, but still open. Then I have to ask the staff to unlock a box for me. I really like these boxes, they help me to keep my car keys and wallet safe!
