Member Testimonials
The Decatur Y is like Goldilocks and the Three Bears. Some gyms are too hard core for us. Other gyms feel more like places to show off your Lululemon. The Decatur Y feels welcoming to all and just right for me and my family.
The competitive gymnastics program at the Decatur Family Y is utterly outstanding. Great coaching, a warm atmosphere, careful staging of skill development that keeps injuries at a minimum, and amazing individual attention, including top-tier individualized choreography, all come together to make this a rare find. Add to all of that the very reasonable cost and the concerted effort to make the team experience accessible regardless of means, and you have one of the best programs out there, as reflected both in the gymnasts's notable success at competitions and in their camaraderie and excitement about spending time together. We would love the Y regardless, but this program is a genuine jewel in the crown.

I love the spin class, Sudie is the BEST! And I absolutely love the Play Center. After having my first child, I knew I had to find a gym with childcare. The Decatur Y playcenter has exceeded all of my expectations. It is always extremely neat, tidy and clean and the staff is exceptional!

Thank you for helping me achieve my wellness goals and providing wonderful childcare.
