Member Testimonials
All of the classes, the childcare
I love the cleanliness of the gym and the equipment is great. The size is great because I rarely have to wait for a machine. The ladies at the play centre are great! They’re amazing with my daughter and always greet her with enthusiasm. She loves going there to see them!
The remote learning day camp last year was amazing. All the camp counselors were AMAZING. Wes, Ruby, Raven— I wish I remembered all their names.
Variety and instructors
I love going to this Y. It has a variety of fitness classes with amazing teachers The facilities are very clean and the staff is very professional and helpful.
Love the Peloton bikes and the variety of other cardio equipment this YMCA has. The only change I would like, is if the light free weights and bars that used to be in the back of the women's locker room, could be returned there. It's always nice to have a semi private space to complete a few exercises.
You offer so many great classes.
Great programs and camps for youth.
Beginning in early-spring 2020, when my previous gym closed for Covid, I joined the Decatur YMCA. You guys have been a life-saver. The pool, the classes, and some personal training have sustained me through this pandemic. Thank you. Keep up the good work.
I attended a water aerobics class and it was excellent!
I really appreciate the variety of activities available, the attitude and kindness of the staff, and the collaboration that happens between the members and leadership to modify programs as needed.
It's help me to stay strong... In all it motivates me. Love
I love the classes and the instructors. Great environment.
I Like the equipment ..Its my new main workouty location
The instructors are excellent! It’s a very warm inclusive and welcoming environment Staff has been responsive to feedback
I like exercising on good equipment where there are pleasant fellow sufferers to make it not such a dismal task.
I like the fact that you've kept the Y open and had good COVID protocols.
You've helped me to continue to work out and remain healthy. About the only thing I use at the Y are the Natulas machines, but my wife takes the yoga classes. We have both really benefited from the Y during the pandemic.
I’m a Zumba girl, especially ones taught by longtime teacher Jennifer Mayo. Decatur has great staff, wonderful atmosphere 👍🏻
Kimberly, the hatha yoga instructor, is just amazing!
I only swim, so I don't know about other facilities.
Love the staff. Each one has been a 10 out of ten whether it was indoors out out in the parking lot.
I LOVE working out in the Parking lot…even in below freezing temps.
Sometimes feel frustration when my Schwann data pad is not functioning properly. I have learned to tolerate it but feel disappointed that I cannot accurately monitor my work on a cycling work out.
I like the hours of the facility. I would prefer a more strict enforcement of the members-only policy. On the weekends, people often bypass the check-in desk without being challenged for membership status.
Variety of programs and dedicated staff.
For all ages.
We love the Y! Thank you for doing an awesome job in ramping services back up!
Overall a great place, truly. But the lap lane reservation tool is too challenging to use. Having to scroll through the entire metro Y sites, resign in and then navigate the times is just not good technology.
Love the classes! Great workout, supportive environment, good options daily
The classes are terrific and the instructors care about helping participant at their own level. I think the equipment is top rate and I like the variety of work-out opportunities.
I love the staff who deliver the programs. They give individualized care to each participant and it doesn't matter your skill level. They help everyone achieve to their ability.
Group classes
I love everything about the Decatur and East Lake Ys. The classes and teachers are so great and fun (special call out to Linda, cycle fusion teacher at East Lake.)
