Member Testimonials
Inclusivity and variety.
I appreciate the Parkinson's classes and hot tub/swimming aquatic area.
I love the light-filled cardio and weight room upstairs.
Simply Awesome!
I have just started going to the YMCA Decatur but I love it. It is such a clean, pretty and convenient place for me to workout. You cannot beat it!
I mainly use the East Lake YMCA, but occasionally take classes at Decatur. It's a lovely, clean, and friendly place.
Water aerobics
Child care!
I like having variety of programming and would enjoy more programs tailored for women and strength building with balance exercises
Friendly staff, plenty of equipment for my needs. Love seeing the children during school breaks. Lots of “old” people to make me feel “normal “.
A great variety of fitness equipment, weights and aerobic machines as well as mats, calisthenics equipment, and lap pool, kept in working condition. Cooling fans and video screens on treadmills make exercising more desirable. Its very nice to have somewhere to go for a sauna and hot tub. Lots of different group classes. I especially like the body pump and water aerobics classes. Like that the changing room has showers and large, no-cost lockers. The building is clean and the staff are friendly. I like the Coach Approach program very much. Although I do not have children, I can see how valuable the play room and different child programs are to families.
Pool and weight room
Feels like family and everyone can be its own self

So many programs for my kids to enjoy! I really love that I can get a workout in while they are enjoying safe, enriching activities.

I like the instructors, especially Jennifer, who makes the exercise sessions more enjoyable and creative. Also, the staff at the front desk are friendly & always greet the patrons with a smile.
Excellent instructors and helpful staff - from those who check us in, to those providing cleaning of the physical plant. Lots of enjoyable classes to provide a mix of aerobic and strength, along with the machines.
Classes, cleanliness, staff
Variety of classes for older adults interested in staying fit taught by great instructors who engage and make working out fun.
Beautiful facility: big, bright, clean.
People of all ages working out. Love the family vibe. Great energy!
Spin Class, specifically Andre Taylor's spin class -- it's the best in the city. We also like the other fitness classes like Body Pump. Open gym for playing basketball with my son, and, the free weights and weight machines are always in order and well kept.
The price is right, instructors (especially Jessica Wuerfell) are terriffic.
I love how multicultural the Decatur family YMCA is, the facilites are clean, the staff is friendly, the coaches are exciting and helpful.
Great facilities with a wide variety of classes. Friendly personnel.
Need more beginner options after 5pm. I have not yet retired but would like to try some classes, but I cannot join during the day time.
