I love the group exercise!
Jennifer and Lloyd are absolutely wonderful!

Love the Decatur Y!
The variety of exercise programs to include swimming. The facilities are clean and the staff members are very helpful.
I am a new member. After Touring the facility, I quit the gym I will head been with and signed up. Initially,I joined because it is close to my home. I’ve just discovered….It is a happy place to be! The atmosphere is easygoing..the facility is always clean. Everyone is super friendly and welcoming. There are a variety of classes and activities for every fitness level. It’s the best decision I’ve made in a while.

Helpful staff
Range of equipment
Hours that you are open
Variety of classes
Water intervals and Fierce Funk are my reason to be there!
I do think the lifeguards need to be more mindful. They should not be allowed to play with their phones when they’re supposed to be watching the swimmers.
I love classes - there are so many to chose from and the instructors are very good. I love the community - ethnic diversity, age diversity and friendly staff. Also I love the opportunities to volunteer and help others.
I love the classes, the camaraderie and support. I feel like if I ever needed anything, I could turn to people at the Y and they would help.
The variety of classes is great - as is the caliber of instruction. The staff are very friendly too.
We visited two different days while on vacation. Our home Y is the Summit in Newnan, GA.
The Decatur Family Y is clean and attractive, and the staff are super friendly.
A special shout-out to Darvin (sp?) who went out of his way to show us the equipment and also tell us about the outdoor pool at East Lake, which we very much enjoyed.
A great experience, thank you!

Adult basketball
The Decatur Y has really great spin instructors. They are well-prepared and creative and they care about the participants we’ll-being. Really love how reliable and fun the instructors are!
Variety and knowledgeable teachers
Very nice folks who work at the Decatur Y, lovely pool staff. Super helpful gentleman working the front desk helped me step by step figure out the lap lane reservation app until I actually understood how to go through the process. This was done during a phone call, I can now successfully reserve a lane for myself, wasn’t able to do that previously. I was so frustrated and now feel so good about my new, very important skill, thank you Decatur Y staff!!!!!
Many varied classes, something fun for everyone, great instructors, great atmosphere, great culture of community support and engagement.
Lots of options, clean facilities
There’s a wide variety of classes and the instructors are approachable and seem to care about the Y including the members. I like the mission and neighborhood support.
Available to all age groups
Would love to shed scheduling lap swim. There is not COVID protocol that continues to drive this practice. We have been sharing lanes for over a year. Time to resume first come, first served.
Love spin class with Andre -- he's the best!
Welcoming to all, satisfactory exercise equipment. But not always kept in working order.
The instructors are fantastic. The YMCA truly supports the community. The people who work at the Y are terrific.
I really appreciate the senior strength classes...they keep me feeling fit.
I love the outdoor class offerings!
