I love water aerobics and the whirpool and the equipment.
Many options, relaxed atmosphere. Need a few hooks in the men’s showers.
Great classes, mostly super nice staff
I really enjoy Melissa's Werk class and Nicole's Fierce Funk class. My daughter goes to a Sunday yoga class. We all make use of the weight room and are enjoying the new equipment! Also thank you to the front desk staff for always making us feel welcome ; )
I only use the machines and maybe the pool. I am not familiar with the new machines and would like a training session. I do know that the four times I have been to the Y I have not been able to get on the adductor and abductor machine without waiting a long time. There used to be two machines and looks like we still need two.
Great location, great vibe, inclusive to all levels of fitness and the staff are very helpful & friendly.

Lots to choose from
Pool
Friendly staff, clean facility, great teachers. Love Meghan’s TurboKick and Mamie’s yoga!!
We have one-on-one swim lessons with Lala, and she's amazing. Such a talent for getting the kids feeling comfortable in the water, such a great focus on survival skills, and so much joy in the pool. I've recommended her to everyone who brings up swim lessons. She is just wonderful!
The Decatur Family YMCA provides me with a welcoming, fully equipped location to try to maintain fitness as I get older. The staff knows my name and I always see long time friends, both former students and neighborhood peers who have grown up with me in Decatur/Midtown/Inman Park. I try to visit 3-5 times a week for aerobic and resistance training at my own pace.
I like all of the restorative/gentle yoga classes. They are appropriate for persons with joint mobility problems.
Multiple aerobic and strength classes. All the instructors are devoted and fabulous. Clearly not doing it for the paltry pay, plus they pay out of pocket for certifications.
Extremely kind and attentive personnel. The exercise/workout area is fully equipped with an excellent variety exercise and weight stations.
The trainers and the equipment
Swim
Pilates
