Variety of classes
Would like more options like traditional boxing or kickboxing classes.
I like the weights and cardio equipment.
Enjoy the variety of group classes. Instructors all have a great attitude/energy. I am always happy I invested the time in self care.
Entertaining..... very involved.... caring

How friendly everyone is in the classes, both instructors and other participants
Love the Y
I just go for the gym. Sorry I can’t give more feedback.
Not sure. I have not resumed classes. I do find it difficult to get a lane for the pool if your not quick which is slightly annoying and having to scroll all the way over too.
Staf f and courteous and friendly. Members are welcoming.

Community service programs, friendly welcoming staff, diverse membership, variety of classes, good exercise equipment, clean facilities
Professional staff!
The instructors and staff are all helpful and approachable. And I like that there are quite a few group work out classes to choose from. I have enjoyed Kim’s Hatha yoga and hope to become a regular if my schedule permits
The staff is friendly. And there is large choice of activities.
The variety of programs you offer for the entire family.
I am using the indoor pool regularly and like the way the booking system is set up. However, it is bit disappointing to see most of the time all 4 lines are booked for classes. And some of the instructors try to continue beyond their allowed time frame even they notice the next person is waiting to use the pool. Appreciate if YMCA is taking extra measures on streamlining this. In general I like the overall set up and would like to thank to all the staff who are committed to provide this service.
Having access to Peloton is AMAZING!!!
I love the classes and that you can go to as many as you want to throughout the week. Awesome variety!
Decatur Dekalb YMCA has so many opportunities to work out that it's easy to take advantage. The staff are ready to help with your workout or class. I feel very comfortable using the facility as it's always clean and safe.
I like the Zumba classes and the access to the weights
I really appreciate having small class sizes. I actually have a pre-paid membership at LAFitness and never go because the classes are too crowded. In terms of COVID, I feel a lot safer at the Y when I take mid-morning classes because we aren't packed in.
Hours of operation, towel service, professional and friendly staff
The variety!
I have been disappointed in the Y in the time of COVID because they have not taken any major steps to improve the facility's air quality and prevent spread of airborne diseases.
The filters used capture no significant amount of COVID. Outside air may meet the standard required when the building was built, but I have no information that the building still meets those design criteria.
It's important not just for COVID, but because we know that fine particulate matter smaller than 2.5 microns can increase the chance of "heart events" and decrease the good effects from a cardio workout.
