This will probably be our last month because I have so many medical bills from a chronic illness. My husband spoke with someone at the Decatur Y that was going to see about getting our fees lowered but we never heard back. Wish I could afford it but can’t right now.

The DDY has so many wonderful classes that are offered a number of times throughout the day. This allows for the flexibility of people's schedules. The instructors are often very good at the activity and provide an excellent workout. The DDY is open in terms of space and clean--I never feel closed-in or claustrophobic. The DDY has towels that some do not. There is a good range of machines to work out. I also like the staff at the front desk. They are very nice and welcoming. All around, I love the DDY and have done so for the past 21 years.
Friendly staff, clean gym, sufficient equipment. You guys are great!
