I have been a member of the Decatur Dekalb Y for over 20 years. After a year-long- break due to the COVID pandemic, i am so happy to be back at the Y now that I am fully vaccinated. I enjoy the friendly, welcoming atmosphere of the Y's staff and its patrons. As a senior in my 70's I appreciate the fact that the Y has something for everyone regardless of age or ability level.
The variety and the flexibility to attend a class at multiple times.
I like the instructors and the variety of classes. I also like how helpful everyone is.
Exceptional classes and instructors! Love love love Lloyd! He is spectacular! And knows all our names!
Also enjoy Stephanie, Jay, Jean, yoga outdoors temporary and others.
Really really wish Womens’ Locker Room ladies sauna and hot tub would be returned - fervently.
The Y has done an incredible job navigating Covid. Profoundly grateful to Executive Director Stephany or Stacy and membership coordinator Ramsey.
Love Body Pump, Turbo Kick, Yoga, Fiercely Funk, Dance Party and others.
Great staff and instructors, plus welcoming, safe environment!
It has something for everyone but needs more classes for older adults.
The variety of classes from early morning to evening that are always reliable for excellent instructors, formatting, and exceptional friendliness. Decatur Y staff and members have created a very family friendly atmosphere that appeals to anyone and everyone who enters. The multitude of kid’s activities and programs are hardly ever imposing on adult group classes or activities.
The staff is friendly and helpful. My son takes swim lessons and they are patient and encouraging with him.
I love to swim and you have a great pool, and COVID protocols that help me feel safe. AND I can actually book a lane online. At some Y locations its almost impossible to book a lane.
I like that you can be personally coached

Great instructors. Friendly staff!
I don't get too involved in your programs and activities. I mainly use the fitness room and equipment there.
Great swimming pool and many group exercise classes to choose from. I especially enjoy the yoga classes.
The facility and staff are welcoming and helpful, workout equipment and machines are excellent and plentiful, workout room is spacious with huge windows/natural light, a variety of classes are offered for all abilities and ages and the community outreach programs are impressive plus offer opportunities for interested members to become involved.
My daughter has had an amazing time at camp so far this summer, and I have loved being able to go for a quick swim or work out right after I drop her off before I head to work for the day. We are new members and the Y has been so good for our family so far!
The only thing I don’t like is the distance I have to travel to get to the Y, but everything else is great…..
You're always there for me!
excellent instructors for group classes.
Pool
spin and yoga
The sense of community
Body pump class and the locker rooms

I always feel welcome, in any class. Even if I’m the least coordinated person, I get encouragement and positive energy from the instructor and other students. I especially love the dance classes.
