Member Testimonials
Water aerobics is really good, Wednesday 10 a.m. class, great exercise for balance, posture, nice teacher and supportive class members. And one family member has a personal trainer for work on leg strength and balance. That has been great.
Variety of quality, worthwhile offerings.
The instructors are great
The parkinson's class is very helpful to my husband.
DDY is indeed a family. One of the most inclusive communities I ever participated in.
Spin, pool, yoga & peloton & Expresso bikes:)
Swim lanes
Decatur’s YMCA programs and activities are very well run. Staff members are courteous, knowledgeable, and very helpful. I enjoy Decatur’s YMCA
We really like the swimming lessons and that the scheduling allows for us to access a lot of activities all in one morning.
The staff are always friendly and very accommodating. The facility is clean and organized. I have never been a 'gym rat', but enjoy going there to work out.
They have a good variety of classes and activities. I look forward to trying more of them.
Several types and times of classes. Accepting and encouraging instructors.
The Y has many great classes, lots of variety and excellent instructors. Members are diverse in age, race and abilities. There is a place where everyone feels accepted.
Great place. Helped so much during COVIF.
I love the Y! Love the classes and teachers. Love the clientele - no intimidating spandex or beautiful people here - just a diverse assortment of ordinary folks getting healthy. Although the classes I attend are VERY challenging, and I am quite fit.
Great classes, super instructors and friendly vibes. Our Y is active in Community Service too.
variety of wonderful classes with enthusiastic instructors.
This was my 1st visit to the Decatur location for my daughter's gymnastics/dance class. I was expressed with the facility and inviting feel from other members and staff.
I only use the pool, so that's all that I can comment on. One of the guards, Autumn, is excellent. She's friendly, professional and calm in a difficult situation. I saw her deal with a difficult member, and she couldn't have been more calm and professional.
I like that the pool is salt water and has the wall of windows that makes for a pleasant swim year round.
Very organized classes.
Safe workout machines.
Kind and healthy employees.
Clean equipment and toilets.
I love the variety of times and types of classes. I’ve been especially happy with the outdoor options during the last few years. Allowed me to keep my sanity.
The instructors are so positive and encouraging. They make classes fun. Time goes by so fast, I don't even realize how much effort they are getting out of me during class!
But my body can feel the changes!!
Keep all of these wonderful instructors. They, along with my lively classmates, are what make the Y so unique.
At this time I only use the gym. I appreciate the organization, cleanliness, and reinforcement of guidelines. The equipment is well maintained and of sufficient variety.
I like group classes, especially body pump, spin kickboxing and yin yoga.
Swimming laps. I like being able to reserve a lane in advance and know that when I show up, I can swim at my own pace and my lane will be there
Everything is accessible and easy to do . The staff is extremely nice !
Turbo Kick class
Morning class offerings
This YMCA location is well kept, clean and safe. The staff are very helpful and have a good knowledge of the services available. The instructors spend time to explain their program and are helpful to individual requests. Thank you
I really like being able to reserve a swim lane and hope that feature continues after COVID. It will be nice when towel service is reinstated. I like all the dividers, sprayer, and other COVID precautions that the Y has taken over the last two years.
Cleanliness, a lot of equipment to work out with . Helpful staff
