Member Testimonials
Terrific, extremely competent staff.
Only suggestion is to rework the pool lane reservation system. We all want the opportunity to lap-swim "solo."
The classes are great
I enjoy the availability of the lanes when I go swimming. Also, I enjoy interacting with the staff and other members. Happy Holidays!!

Staff are friendly. There are very good instructors, such as Jen, Julia, and Alekz.
I love the Decatur Family Y. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable and create a welcoming environment. The members are diverse and friendly. The Decatur Family Y's work in the community is outstanding. I wish the Metro Y would take a longer term view when it comes to maintenance of the Decatur Family Y branch. For example, the "bandaid" approach to fixing the skylight during the past few months has not worked. Instead, it has resulted in significant damage to the gymnasium and disrupted the gym programs, including the popular youth basketball program. I imagine the costs to repair the gymnasium will dwarf the amount it would have cost to properly fix the leaky roof in the first place.
I love the friendly front desk staff that greets my family and I when we enter the building.
The pool is warm enough to swim in, unlike the freezing temperature of the water in the East Lake pool.
They're up to date (except the music!) and people-friendly.
The beginner pickleball class was excellent and I like the open play format on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Wide variety of classes.
wonderful family style community
I love that I can participate in a safe, energetic senior strength class. Our instructor, Jenn Mayo, keeps the music and the exercises varied - and the class is never overcrowded. At this time with COVID and flu, it's really important to me to not be packed into an over-booked class.
We like the youth sports and swimming.
Great pool, friendly, expert staff, loads of fitness machines, great hours.

Julia B is a terrific teacher. Encouraging, challenging, always explaining proper form.
You have equipment
I like the new machines & programs for youth.
At this time I mostly participate in group activities or walk on a treadmill or the track, but I appreciate the variety of activities available and know that there is a lot of equipment I haven't even started to use yet.
