Member Testimonials
Great instructors, variety of options
The machines are easily assessable.
I haven't been since Covid, but I'm quite impressed with the steps the Y is taking to keep the place as clean as is possible. I'm especially impressed with closing it every day to sanitize it.
The Decatur staff has been exceptional especially during this pandemic. The gym is always clean, with plenty of spray, wipes and paper towels.
Thank you also to the hard working group fitness instructors-- both indoor and outdoor classes have been wonderful to return.
Nice job.... Thank you-
The facility is always managed and maintained well and has implemented appropriate safety precautions during COVID. Staff is always very friendly, courteous and helpful. I use the gym and I’m happy with the equipment, facility, staff and other members- it’s a place that promotes health and well-being. Keep it up!
LOOKING FORWARD TO RESUMPTION OF REGULAR HOURS.
Swimming pool
The YMCA staff are the BEST !!!
Community spirit, courteous and professionalism
Helpful, competent staff. Good equipment and convenient hours.
I like swimming with one person per lane.
The workout (wt. room) is great.
I like the variety in activities as well as the times. They fit into my schedule greatly and I have the ability to try new things with instructors who are kind and open to new students.
Jean Woodall's yoga classes!!!!!
Everything.
I like the safe setup in the wellness area and the pool area, and I love the whirlpool. It is so good to feel safe with distancing and individual pool lanes.
Activities for all ages.
I like that everyone there is very helpful, kind and friendly.
I’ve always liked the classes I’ve attended.
I do wish there was a better way to get a lap lane. I try on the exact second and still no luck.
( well, not very often)
Cycling classes, free weights, and staff!
I've only taken yoga classes and the instructors are excellent.
The various levels of yoga practice that are offered suit my ongoing interest.
I have been a member of the "Y" for a few weeks and really enjoy coming to work-out. Everyone there is very helpful and friendly. I look forward to spending more time there as time goes on.

Y is doing a goo job of handling things during the pandemic. The swimming pool protocols work very well (as long as I am able to "win" the daily competition to reserve a lane). Perhaps due to fewer people using the facility, the mens locker room is actually much cleaner now than before the pandemic started. (Sorry to say it didn't always pass muster before.)
The people who work at our Y are friendly and kind, always ready to help . They care about safety and keep everything clean and organized.
Several things I like about the Y during the Covid restrictions are:
A wide variety of classes and varied times -
Ease of sign up for classes
Cleanliness and safety precautions employed on site
Friendly and knowledgeable staff
The seriousness of patrons to ensure the health of other members
Food drives and Fitness challenges to promote goodwill in the community
Willingness to discuss schedules.
Love the instructors of the classes! Great workouts. I wish there were more classes
The introduction of safe live classes.
I like Sara and Sudie's spin classes. I like the people who work at the YMCA.
Attention to COVID protocols; commitment of staff during pandemic.
I like the fact that the building is closed for 2 hours for deep cleaning and the available space in the gym.
