Everything
Body pump outdoors and spin are my favs. Great instructors.
The diversity of classes and professionalism of the instructors
Awesome Staff, awesome instructors and group exercise classes of cycling and bodypump. Early pre dawn classes for the go to work crowd who can’t do mid morning or midday classes.
The variety and availability. In these covid times I particularly appreciate the attention to cleanliness and personal safety.
Pool is easy to access and sign up guarantees that you can swim.
Parkinson's desease activities. Great class leaders.
Very friendly and family-oriented environment. It has always been a safe space for our kids. From t-ball, to basketball, soccer to gymnastics, Advanced Leadership Academy to Teen Leaders Club - the Decatur Family Y has played a significant role in their lives!
Love The 45 minute classes. Strength cycle barre.
Hope you keep the classes at 45 minutes. It’s a perfect amount of time.
Y makes appropriate efforts to protect everyone from infectious disease, and provides both indoor, and outdoor classes. Friendly, professional staff.
I very much like that swimmers are able to reserve lanes at specific times and that some of those lanes are exclusively set aside for one swimmer only. If we go back to an all-shared lane system i'm afraid i'll give up my membership - i just don't ever want to swim that close to anyone again.
Nice variety. Easy for first timers to join and learn.
