Member Testimonials
They advocated for my 4 year old to get into the Basketball League, even though it was unclear if 4 year old kids could play on the basketball team. My 4 year old enjoys basketball and loves coming to the YMCA. I appreciate the child care facility, as I am able to work out while my child is cared for.
I really enjoy myself when I go to the gym it helps my mental, it helps me physically it gives me something to do any it helps keep me motivated the more classes I attend I find myself being more interested in the YMCA and sometime would like to give voluntary work. I get a chance to meet new people and the people are very nice and friendly up there. So thank you Wade Walker for help keeping me sane.
Everything
I am 66, and have been a Y member in most US cities, since I was a kid in the 1960s. The main thing I like about it is that people make eye contact, offer to help (I am mildly crippled), and are always encouraging. This does not occur at the big gym places that I also tried, and grew dismayed at zero eye contact, no friendliness, even by the checkin staff.
Good equipment. Nice pool. No crowds.
Everything employees and they kids activities
I love the pool area and whirlpool. The whirlpool is always out
Nice variety of scheduled programs.
The Wade Walker YMCA is truly a wonderful facility that takes care of all my fitness needs as I try to improve my health. I especially love using the pool for laps and then going to the sauna to relax after a good workout.
Family oriented and program activities for active seniors.
Water aerobics with Mookie is great!
I love the group exercise classes. We just need more variety.
The indoor pool was great! Very well kept up on cleanliness and the staff is very friendly. I will most definitely come back and recommend to others.
Everything!!
Although I randomly visit the Wade Walker YMCA , which I only participate in the 'water aerobics classes". I have thoroughly enjoyed my visits there.... There is a very warm and welcoming atmosphere as you enter the facility...the staff at the registration desk are extremely nice and courteous, with excellent customer-service like behavior.....the water aerobics instructors which I have taken classes from, are very attentive, with a caring attitude. the activities fit and meet my needs as a senior citizen. ...the overall atmosphere of the facility has a warm and charming persona, which I will definitely visit in the near future.
The Wellness Director is doing an excellent job by filling out the class offerings. When I first started, there were many gaps in the offerings, but since she has been Director, she has filled in the gaps with so many new and innovative classes, so much so that I now have to figure out which classes I should take. I have also changed from Decatur Y to Wade Walker because of the many classes now listed.
They are offered throughout the week. Plus they are taught with knowledge /skill trainers.
Just getting started in a week
I haven't done any programs yet and probably won't for a while. But I LOVE the facility, the friendliness and the equipment in the weight room!
I swim at Wade Walker and appreciate the serenity of the pool. It is clean, usually quiet and is staffed by friendly young lifeguards. I enjoy the yoga classes but they are offered at times that are inconvenient for me. I would love to see a couple of T/Th yoga classes at 7.
