Member Testimonials
willingness to have outdoor activities. Following good covid prevention rules
The pool reservation system can make it tricky to get a spot, but the staff is always fantastic and they make every effort to make sure everyone is safe and able to get their workout in
I'm very happy that you're offering outdoor classes.
The inclusive accepting atmosphere of the YMCA makes it more than a gym.
I like using the pool, although it's a little small, and the hot tub and steam room. Good cardio equipment.
I love working out at the Y. I feel very comfortable and everyone is very friendly. Also, my 4 year old daughter takes swim lessons and gymnastics at the Y and loves it. She looks forward to it every week.
At this point, I only use the pool for daily lap swimming, which is a gift, believe me. I also love how the Y has adapted to COVID by offering some classes outside. I personally, however, wouldn’t be using any of the other facilities as gyms are COVID magnets.
The people who work at the Y are good people with their hearts in the right place - service.
Wonderful instructors for group classes with attention to safety and technique. They are available to provide alternate methods depending on ability.
I like the lap pool
Excellent selection of group classes. Great location. Friendly staff. Nice people (members).
Classes, friendly staff, instructors able to be creative in offering classes in this COVID environment, quality of instructors high, and members become friends, clean facilities and many different classes offered. Metro Y organization is value driven and is committed to the community
Love sauce and the pool!
I like the gyym. I dint use anything else
I'm just glad you're open! The ability to use the equipment helps keep me fit.
I think the classes are excellent. I love the instructors who are top notch and they are truly concerned for each participant. They emphasize that class is not competitive and that we are all different and at different levels.
Covid-19 precautions in the swimming pool, including the new lap lane scheduling system.
I think the Y is doing an absolutely fabulous job during the pandemic. I have an autoimmune disease and feel very safe there. Wish everyone had to wear a mask when exercising. Lots of hard breathing.
I like the friendly atmosphere that the Decatur Y has.
I wish I knew what to ask for. I swim, shoot basketball and use the weights. I am SO grateful for the YMCA at this time. I am hesitant to take a class with others right now.
Variety of options and times for activities. I feel safe at the facility with all the precautions being taken for reducing exposure to covid. I like being able to register for classes in advance.
Diverse classes for all ages and skill level. Safety protocols in full enforcement to give us all a peace of mind.
I appreciate the steps taken to offer a safer space to exercise during the pandemic. The scheduling of the swim lanes help to reduce challenges related to planning to run but no lanes available.

I appreciate the offerings from the Y. The staff are all professional and pleasant.
Y’all are doing a fine job keeping us safe during the COVID pandemic. At the Decatur Y, sometimes I hear about just a couple of Y members complaining when a Y staff member has to remind them of the COVID rules, but the staff members are doing what they are supposed to be doing, and those couple of Y members are absolutely wrong to complain. So keep that up, please! Also, regrettably, there is one particular man working out and not wiping down equipment before or after in the weekday mornings—does this every day—somehow he is not getting corrected by staff. Thank you.
The always friendly staff.
