We love the ymca!
I have never taken a class but I love the workout room/ weights& machines. It's a great space & the energy is uplifting and motivating.
I think the Decatur Family Y has great programs for the children and families! I Love Decatur Family Y!!
Great front desk and wonderful teachers for classes-
Exercise classes and teachers/staff
So many exercise classes! A fabulous variety with THE BEST instructors. And the price is right, particularly for seniors.
Additionally, the diversity of our YMCA membership - such a gift to our community! Young and old, all shades, multiple nationalities, LGBTQ ...
And the staff - welcoming front-desk folks, membership recruiters, childcare providers, Wellness Center consultants and trainers.

That it opens so early and offers great programs (like Body Pump) when other centers are still closed. Great for early risers!
You have groups that fits everyone's level and needs. The teachers are very skilled and knowledgable about their areas.
Everything.
Variety of programs/classes.
It's a community - from the people that greet you at the front desk to the instructors, staff members and patrons - I feel like I belong at the DDY.
