The Wellness Center
Programs and activities are varied and diverse. There is something for everyone!
I like pretty much everything about the Decatur Y! The welcoming atmosphere, the friendliness of staff and instructors, the variety of classes open to all ages, the open and sunny second floor cardio room, and towels, towels everywhere! All for a very reasonable fee. The last gym I will ever join. Sorry it took me so long to find you!
Great
I really appreciated the Coach Approach Program and the ways that Lisa Lovvorn and Lloyd made me feel welcome and inspired me in the process of living into fitness again. Also, Joanna was wonderful with my daughter who went through the orientation to the cardio room and learned a ton and felt respected and inspired as well.
The group classes and childcare!
The variety of programs, but I wished there was a body pump class at 7:15pm on Wednesdays and a 6am class on Friday mornings.
Please consider. thanks!
I think the staff is friendly and accomadating.
I like the variety of choices I have to choose from, I only wish these classes were offered at all locations I pass up two YMCA to visit this location
Variety!
I love Stephanie’s Zumba Gold class because she is such a happy spirit and motivates us older dancers to dance like we’re still teenagers! Her music is highly diverse and always beautiful.
I like that the Y is there for me when I want it, without having to sign up first. I just show up and choose the activity I most feel like doing, whether bicycling or swimming or dancing.
Lots of them to choose from
I enjoy the cardio machines, free weights, and group classes. It would be great if you could update the rowing machines and some of the elliptical machines.
The yoga teachers are excellent, especially Robin and Mamie.
I still miss the downstairs weight room, but I’m making do with the upstairs space. However, it’s far too small and needs more benches.
The entire upstairs space was poorly planned and needs a dedicated stretching space that’s larger than a queen-sized bed.
The staff is great, especially Lisa and Lloyd.
Group classes. Body Pump. Barre. Water aerobics

Fulfills my need for physical activity.
