Member Testimonials
I appreciate the cleanliness of this Y, the friendliness of the staff and the variety of exercise classes offered.
The variety of activities and programs that are available. I like having a coach available to help with exercise activities.
I enjoy the staff and the programs that my children are in. We have the things we ask for in terms of how the staff interact with our children.
The childcare center is awesome! The women who work there know the kids, care about them, and interact with them rather than just watching them.
I love all classes with Ash & Jess. Please have more! My son has really enjoyed the swim program as well.
My work schedule doesn’t provide me much time to take part in the programs at the Y. I only get to enjoy the friendly & helpful early morning staff when I arrive to exercise. They are really committed to helping us and making us feel welcome, even at 5AM! Great staff!!!
I like that everyone is very nice.
Great child care
Gym
Swimming pool
Summer camp
Nice environment . Motivational inspired instructors many diff classes on every hour
I wish there were a few more classes I preferred and that the weights section was a little more stocked and diverse with equipment, but the people at the Y are the reason I love it. From the minute i walk through the front door and am greeted by the same front desk staff who know my name, to the AMAZING play center (I can not say enough good things about Ms. Mary, Angie, heaven, Sarah, and isahhua), to the awesome instructors (jess with the T/Th HIIT class is my fave) and then rh awesome members and friendly staff upstairs. We love the Decatur Y. I have recommended it to so many friends. One just joined this week with her kids!!
Great group fitness classes
My family truly appreciates being able to use the Y because we are on scholarship. If we had to pay full price, sadly, we would not be able to attend.
I think the Y is great!
I love the friendly atmosphere, the fitness classes, the natural light in the upstairs cardio and weight areas, the clean towels, and we love the play center.
Lot of classes. And lots of time offers
Great equipment and I like that there are opportunities for kids to work out too
Great swimming program
Very nice facility, courteous and helpful staff, great class offerings. Special shout out for AWESOME class instructors and summer camp!
What a wonderful gym! I am particularly likely to recommend since the fabulous makeover a few years ago, putting it in the same league with the other top YMCAs and making it a better choice than some private gyms. It's clean, well-equipped, diverse and delightful.
The Y has a great variety of classes and equipment. I can always find some form of exercise to help me stay healthy.
I do like the entire programs ant the friendly environment.
Love the clean facility and super friendly, helpful staff!
The wellness center
It is pleasant place to be, with good people. Up lifting for body and soul.
Almost 10 out of 10 times that I enter the Y, I leave feeling better than I did when I walked in.
I originally joined for the exercise machines, and possibly the pool. But now, pickleball! Thanks for restriping the courts. I look forward to playing through the summer and into next fall.
My only concern about the Decatur Family YMCA is the POOR maintenance. The showers in the men's locker room often have loose handles which are about to fall off. When this issue was brought to the attention of the Y management, there was minimal improvement. The soap dispensers are not refilled often enough. The repair of broken water fountains elsewhere in the facility are taking too long considering their importance to those who are working out. I have great admiration for the mission and values of the Decatur Y, but have been disappointed by the stewardship of the facility.
Great staff, variety of programs/classes for all interests.
Please consider expanding summer programs (all day) for special needs community age 16+ (aka adults). This is where the community and special needs metro Atlanta as a whole needs YMCA help, especially for working parents!
Thanks!
Jean is the best yoga instructor I’ve ever had. I’m glad there are now two gentle yoga classes with her on the schedule. It’s hard to make the same one every week because my work schedule is always changing. Thanks!
I love the size of the Decatur YMCA and also the friendly staff
The facility is just stellar compared to the other 3 facilities I frequent weekly. Although one could say it's because of the density and socieconomic's of the surrounding community, i's a lovely and clean facility, superior programs and effective communication.
