Member Testimonials
Options and relaxed atmosphere
Frequency of classes... and many different classes
Excellent variety and instructors
We are thrilled with the Y's gymnastics program--we love the combination of top-tier training with a warm and low-key environment. It is rare to find a gym that holds gymnasts to high standards with genuine care for their well-being and development (with impressive results--we've been amazed at the number of medals that the team has brought home from state and national meets).
There’s something for everyone!
Love the 6:30 Tuesday and Friday class with Lisa Kiely
I really like the classes geared toward seniors - very helpful.
My time at this Y has been wonderful. I enjoy all the exercise classes I take, the convenient times for me when they are conducted and the friendliness of the instructors and the people that participate in them.
I love the barre class. I wish it were offered more in the evening time.
The hours at the play center at Decatur Y are convinent.
Spin class, dance classes, child care and a great facility. Everyone is welcoming, helpful and encouraging--you have a great team!
There's something for everyone at every age.

Lots of variety, excellent instructors and coaches.
The best of exercise classes! Variety, scheduling, and outstanding instructors are the top reason. Something for everyone in the line up of classes at DFY!
The entire staff - especially the front desk folks are unique to the Decatur Y; no match anywhere to the welcoming, efficient, and friendly group always available!
I like the outdoor pool, and that there is plenty of workout space - plenty of machines to use.
The ease in coming and going to use the broad facilities available.
Great staff and wonderful instructors for group classes!
Programs are varied and the YMCA's hours of operations work well with my schedule.

Some really good instructors
There is so much acceptance at the YMCA. If you reach out and question, there is someone who will listen. My YMCA, Decatur YMCA, is especially friendly. Instructors are very inclusive. Everyone is welcome.
I have really enjoyed the great group exercise classes, and the community of friends that exists within the various classes.

My family and I are sporadic users of our membership but our 10-year old participates in gymnastics program, which we think is very well organized and good.
