Member Testimonials
I frequent this location for group exercise class. Very clean and efficient.
Outdoor fitness classes!! Great teachers
Gymnastics class is awesome. Great instructors. Very good job implementing Covid guidelines
As far as I am concerned, the personnel at the Decatur YMCA is the BEST part. They are ALL willing to assist everyone, young or older. The program that I am considering is one that I think I will really enjoy and help me with my balance problem.

I love that although we are living through a time in which events as we have known them to be are no longer. Yet you have found ways to overcome those challenges and provide activities for the children.
I like all the precautions the Y is taking to reduce the risk of spreading the Covid virus.
The coaches are very nice and patience. Warm friendly environment.
Pretty nice facility. Staff very friendly. GREAT POOL (has deep end- sweet!)
The pool is old but well maintained, the staff is wonderful and very helpful.
Vivid has been a challenge but they've managed it as best they can; hopefully back to normal this year.
pool and classes
I love the swimming and the outdoor yoga.
Everything! It's spit spot clean, well organized and the staff is great. The workout room is huge and cheerful thanks to a wall of ceiling to floor windows. The equipment is updated (love the individual tvs), well maintained and includes every machine you could possibly want. Staff is available to introduce the machines and how they work. I haven't attended a class yet but they seem to address many interest levels. The studios are big and well equipped. I haven't used the pool but it appears to be outstanding.
Note: If there was one class I could add, it would be a low impact aerobic and stretching combo for active seniors.
I appreciate having all of the above available at an affordable price.
What I appreciate most about the Decatur Family Y:
Turns out that developing and adhering to COVID-19 safety protocols have provided great outdoor-in-the-fresh-air workouts which I love. Pilates and Body Pump are the two I do to maintain my fitness. This has made me a huge fan of the Class Sign-up system. I request that you keep it permanently!

So many positive attributes about the Decatur Y, but if I had to pick one, it’s the team of instructors who bring the magic. They strike an ideal balance between challenging us to be strong and remaining light-hearted, open and friendly. They are consistent, and basically great individuals who make a joyful difference in my life!
The pool for lap swimming. I like the system of reserving a lane.

Great kids camps and great exercise class offerings
During the pandemic, I'm so impressed with how well the Y has taken care of us. From the deadly emails to the on line classes to the classes now available in person. Fabulous.
A highlight of my morning is walking by all the little kids doing their online classes thanks to your support.
Family friendly!
The hospitality
I like that some classes are outside! Covid precautions are on Point and the diversity of programs is great!
We feel safe about coming to the YMCA during the Pandemic because most of the people wear their masks even during their work-outs, and everyone is wiping down the equipment with disinfectant spray. There is a lot of choices to get a good workout.
Wonderful instructors for exercise classes! The Y does wonderful things for the community, and the members are terrific. I love the Decatur Y!
