Member Testimonials
It has the hours and equipment I need and mostly friendly staff. I do tire of members camping out on machines and acting indignant when they are asked to share. This is especially true of teen boys. Maybe more prominent signs?
The front desk is friendly!
For the past few months I have been participating in the Water Aerobics with Miriam, Carol and Zon, and have LOVED it. All instructors are SO GOOD, however I have to say that Zon brings so much energy to her class that I can't wait till Wednesdays. I wish that there were classes on Friday, Saturday and Sunday. I have also taken the Adult Strength class with Andrew and have really enjoyed that class. Unforturnatly since his Tuesday class is right after Carol's Water Aerobics class, I don't have enough time to make the 10:00 time frame.
The programs and activities are welcoming, well-thought out, and guided by skilled instructors. Thank yo so much!
The group dance classes are my favorite.

The YMCA programs offer the best programs and activities for our community to learn, grow, and make friends while also encouraging members to share their experiences with others. The environment is inviting and there is a sense of community mindfulness.
Excellent coaches and workout equipment. Friendly staff and great facility overall.
This Y is really close to my house and really convenient. I like it that I can use the gym bikes and weight machines easily.
If you are recently retired and don't know what to do with yourself, I highly recommend checking out the Decatur Family YMCA. You'll be amazed how soon you will be part of our family. It's a great place to make new friends and begin exercising with all the knowledgeable instructors. They'll show you how to use the exercise machines too. When you begin exercising, you'll want to set goals for yourself. Your instructor can help you make a plan. I began attending this YMCA when I retired 10 years ago and love it. It's a part of my life now. I come to this Y 4-5 times a week. I'm addicted to the Yoga classes: Gentle, Hatha and Vinyassa. It's wonderful for your body for staying active and mobile! Please give it a try!
I hope to meet you!
