Bodypump and the great Bodypump instructors

I love going to the Decatur Y! The staff and guests are so friendly! There are so many machines to work with. It has been great to have a community like this.

My Y is first rate. The staff is great and they've handled the pandemic very well.

I love the Y and plan to do even more with my membership this year and in 2022.

I like the HIIT classes although I’d like to see more of them and be a little more intense. It would be nice if we could have heavier weights downstairs for classes ranging from 25 to 35 lbs. I usually bring weights from weight room down to class. I also like the dry suana and steamroom

I LIKE YMCA

The numerous workout machines

My teens enjoy the basketball court and free weights. The Y is located close to their school.

There has been an issue of my younger teen not being allowed to use the free weights needed for his strength training program. We are wondering if there is a way to prove competence to be able to use them.

I like the community and the variety of classes available. Teachers are terrific!

Variety, safety, smaller classes-I feel safe taking the classes.

Knowledgeable staff
Flexible schedule
Variety

programming for individuals with developmental disabilities, scholarship accessibilitiy for marginalized kids, quality of facilities, and opportunities for wellness

Easy app to schedule for classes. Miss the towel service though.

Good variety of classes and good instructors.

I love the indoor cycling classes. All of the instructors have great energy and play great music. The classes are fun and I don't feel like I'm working out.

I really appreciate the outdoor classes you’re offering. The instructors for BP, Step and Core are excellent.

The Decatur Family Y is our home-away-from-home! The Y team is always friendly, enthusiastic and caring. Ellen and I are honored to be associated with this outstanding organization. -- John Yates

Cross generational, diverse, senior friendly kindergarten

Instructors inspire me to work harder, while generating warmth and a genuine sense of community.

Diverse options; competent, profession and kind staff

pool and gym

.....

I like the Pilates classes and the pool. My husband likes the workout room with elliptical and weight machines.

Convenient, safe to you, friendly staff.

In spite of current restrictions the Decatur Y has control offer a variety of options in the form of fitness activities inside and outside. All front desk /wellness desk staff and class instructors are we.coming to everyone. The management team has been receptive to comments and suggestions from members - notably since the “reopening” from the 2020 Y shutdown.
Secondly, the variety of fitness classes offers something just about every day for any activity involving a group activity someone could/would need or want.

I just like how friendly and helpful everyone is.

I haven’t participated enough. I mostly do the treadmill, bike and some weight machines. Unfortunately I don’t plan and look ahead to know what is going on well. I usually find out what’s going on when I get there & it’s too late to jump in.
