Member Testimonials
The Decatur Y is like a 2nd family to me. The employees and members are friendly, I love several of the classes and the facilility is clean.
I use the pool so that is my favorite. It's super nice.
The location is always clean and has a great locker room area. The swim staff is nice and have been very helpful to me since I started swimming there in the fall of 2016.
good variety
Weight machines work well, usually not too crowded (early weekday afternoons)
I love the variety of programs and classes. I can go in whenever you are open to work out. I appreciate the front desk people......kind, relaxed and helpful. I like the other members.
Friendly staff, clean facility, convenient hours
The Y is family oriented and all the staff is friendly and helpful.
I like the classes and the facility itself. I also like how there's a place more private in the locker room to work out. My only complaints are there's no spin bike in the cardio area. Not everyone can make the classes, so it'd be great if there were one or two out like there used to be. Also, the lack of a good childcare area for this children between toddler age and teen. My daughter hates going to the play room, but would love to work out in the locker room area with me.
I love the big windows in the cardio and weight room
many varied options and classes offered at many times through the day including after dinner time
I love the "Fierce Funk" dance classes, the big, clean cardio machine area, and the kind, friendly folks who greet me every time I come in!
I love our Y!
I love the variety of classes and the times they are offered. However, the membership system via YMCA of Metro Atlanta is flawed. Invoices are marked as receipts in the emails I receive, and the referral system is not clearly explained. I tried to refer a member and was treated rudely by the central staff. The Decatur staff was lovely, but their hands were tied.
If I didn't like the Decatur Y so much, my score would be a 2, because of the hassle factor.

There is such a sense of community at the Decatur YMCA. The instructors really care and often thank YOU for coming to class...when I feel like it is I who should be thanking them!!! Which I do!! : )
Very good facilities
The programs that I'm familiar with seem to be fun, beneficial physically and mentally sufficient, In addition to enhancing your strength and conditioning.
I love the YMCA of Decatur. However I wish they had Special Olympics for those with Disabilities! The staff is very friendly. The only two problems that I see is not having adequate training for those with disabilities like sports teams or training. And some of the staff are obese or they appear to be not in good physical condition.
I usually use all of the machines and weights. I like the layout of the room where the machines and weights are located. There is enough space to do a workout and not feel like someone else is in your lap.
Diverse, convenient schedule of classes and programs.

Love the gym and the classes.
The variety of programs is excellent but what I like most is the people, both the staff and my fellow members.
I love the number and variety of group exercise classes! Additionally, it's so important to me that the members and participants in classes are so diverse. I never worry about what I look like or feeling goofy, I'm able to relax and have fun.
Sorry, I don’t participate in any programs !!
