Member Testimonials
Everyone is so nice and helpful.
Very nice clean facility and friendly staff
the whole upstairs is like an adult jungle gym!! the spacers between the treadmills make it feel very secluded and feels with focusing.
i love the vibe and the location of the decatur ymca!
I am retired, and after meeting with Coach Walker a year ago, I have been doing an exercise routine that basically rotates thru about 8-10 different Cybex units.
I haven’t taken advantage of the group programs offered.
I like how the facility is being continuously cleaned. I see cleaning crew members dusting equipment and sweeping floors nearly every visit I make!
Variety of activities available every day. I love that there’s things for my whole family to do. I love the coaches that teach my son’s basketball clinic. I love the facility and seeing the variety of people that come to it.
My only complaint is: we chose the Y because it was better for us as a family. We had another gym that we liked to come to in the afternoons, but felt bad that my 11-year-old son couldn’t come with us. However several times when we’ve brought him to the Y staff has stopped him in the hallway and told him he cannot walk around without a guardian, even when he’s just going to the bathroom. We’ve also had people stop and question us for bringing him to use the exercise machines with us, even though he’s old enough, and we stay right by his side and monitor his use. He’s a pretty shy kid so all of this has made him feel like he’s in trouble and he doesn’t want to come as much which is a bummer.
A welcoming atmosphere. Good equipment, and a nice variety of classes, even though many of them book up very quickly
There are a variety of programs and a nice atmosphere. Three main reason I joined was to use the pool and so far I've been really happy with the availability of lanes for lap swimming.

I only participate in the swim challenge class taught by Miriam Gilmer. She is a wonderful instructor and the reason I joined the Y.
I recommend her classes all the time.

I like the friendly staff as well as the cleanliness of the entire place!
You have some programs for my age group and level of ability. They are at times that are good for me and the instructor mixes things up and seems knowledgeable.
Nice pool. It was nice to see all those kids playing basketball, and kids at the YMCA in general. Kids give the place life.
The weight room was pretty crowded, but I guess that is to be expected on a Saturday.
Good, challenging choices for seniors, great instructors
