The YMCA programs offer the best programs and activities for our community to learn, grow, and make friends while also encouraging members to share their experiences with others. The environment is inviting and there is a sense of community mindfulness.
Excellent coaches and workout equipment. Friendly staff and great facility overall.
This Y is really close to my house and really convenient. I like it that I can use the gym bikes and weight machines easily.
If you are recently retired and don't know what to do with yourself, I highly recommend checking out the Decatur Family YMCA. You'll be amazed how soon you will be part of our family. It's a great place to make new friends and begin exercising with all the knowledgeable instructors. They'll show you how to use the exercise machines too. When you begin exercising, you'll want to set goals for yourself. Your instructor can help you make a plan. I began attending this YMCA when I retired 10 years ago and love it. It's a part of my life now. I come to this Y 4-5 times a week. I'm addicted to the Yoga classes: Gentle, Hatha and Vinyassa. It's wonderful for your body for staying active and mobile! Please give it a try!
I hope to meet you!
