Member Testimonials
Something for everyone--all ages, all stages, all shapes and sizes. Friendly instructors, coaches and support staff.
This facility is very nice and works for our whole family. It’s close to our house, there’s a variety of programming for the kids, and childcare allows my husband and I to work out regularly. Our kids are aging out of the play center but they LOVE the new kids club. We hope it continues and grows. My only qualm is the parents (& sometimes kids) who stand on the elevated track to watch their kids in gymnastics. I go up there to watch my daughter too but I am always walking or jogging with the flow. I’m not sure everyone knows there is an adjacent room with windows into the gym where they can go.
Variety of classes. Large workout room. Friendly staff. Clean changing facilities.

I like the climate of accessibility and inclusiveness
I love this place. Sure there are times when the parking is a challenge, classes are jam packed, the resolution-peeps are making every effort to get going with some good habits, and the hallways are overflowing with parents but it’s all part of the experience here. I can join any club and have, but this place is what and where I return to every single time.
great hours
nice people
well maintained equipment
I like the variety of programs and the frequency of classes. The teachers encourage us to modify as needed and to listen to our bodies and that gives me permission to accept my level of participation.
I like all the senior classes. Could we have a senior yoga class in a chair?

Dear, Decatur Y. Going to the Y is like getting a shot of energy. I like that there are some programs geared to seniors as well as more vigorous ones for younger adults. I like that when I enter, I'm always greeted cheerfully. And I like that you have provided a wonderful nursery so working parents can participate. Being a grandparent, I can appreciate that! AThank-you.
My favorite part of the Decatur Y is their staff. Whether it's the people at the front desk, the people at the membership desk, the childcare staff, the swimming instructors, the gymnastics instructors, or the cleaning staff, everyone is incredibly welcoming and great at what they do. I am so impressed every time I go to the Y and think the staff do an incredible job of working towards the Y's mission of health and inclusivity.

Passionate instructors in group exercise!
There are many great programs at the Y. The program my husband & I like best is pickleball which meets 3 mornings a week. It is run by Dave Mathews. All the people we have met are friendly & really seem to care about one another. It is good exercise, & we really enjoy it. When you come into the Y, the first thing you receive is a hello & a smile from a staff member.
Everyone is so friendly and helpful.
