I love Tuesday night pickleball.
Close to home good hours
Clean. Good size weight area. Plenty of machines available.
I greatly enjoy the group fitness classes, but I worry that we lose high quality instructors because they are not being compensated appropriately for their years of experience and loyalty. That jeopardizes the entire Y experience and must be addressed.
the pool and steam room are for the most part, always clean
Variety of gym workout equipment.
Pre school swim lessons are great!
The variety of classes, the great pools, and the childcare.
I really love the variety of classes that are offered and all the different ages of people that are in the classes. Everyone is very welcoming and kind.
I use the pool. The staff is all friendly
I only utilize the gym but look forward to taking some of the exercise classes.
Good choices, convenient location.
The Decatur Y offers a variety of classes for all levels. I would still like to see more Older Adult classes.
I love the classes! My only suggestion is to make sure the water aerobics teacher can demonstrate the movements. She doesn't use the water weights/floats like the class, so we can't understand what she means, especially since she has an accent.
Alternatively, it would be great to have a TV monitor showing the movement she wants us to do.
I feel comfortable there. I use the machines and find them clean and well maintained. The staff is very friendly & people are respectful. Plenty of parking. I haven’t used other locations, but I like having that option as well, especially when I finally start taking classes.
They are varied and meet different needs
Clean facilities, nice instructors.
Location and family environment
I like the number of bikes/treadmills and that they each have a screen for videos, etc. I like the weight room but I wish there was more room for squats or lunges.
Body Pump & Corre classes excellent
I love the pool and have enjoyed yoga classes and the gym equipment. Would be there more often if I weren't still in the workforce.
I like the Yoga classes especially and the variety of equipment. It is also great you have coaches.
Variety of group classes, camp pricing and activities. Staff is always friendly and helpful. My daughter loves the programs that are offered for kids!
I like all the classes nice cleans front staff very nice and and friendly…
Variety of classes
I have only been to exercise classes so far. I have found all the instructors to be good. My one complaint is that classes seem to fill up and I am often unable to get the class I want if I forget to enroll right away.
Jennifer is great instructor, senior exercises are extremely important, and socializing is bonus bene.
Currently loving the awesome pool setup and that I can come swim in the late evening as I get off work later than most. Very much love the security of there being a lifeguard there too. It’s been a minute due to injury since I’ve been in the weight room, but I also appreciate the variety of strength training options. And Ruth has been amazingly helpful in finding my way up there!
There may be one I haven’t seen as I usually go in the same area of the women’s locker room. I would love there to me fans in the locker room to use (if they aren’t already there…Will explore next time) to help cool down faster after workout and shower so I’m leaving clean and not sweaty again. :)
The instructors are very knowledgeable. They make classes fun and inviting.
Like the indoor pickleball BUT would prefer one court designated for less experienced players. I have played for about a year, know the rules, and am at decent level. But when I played one day, I was intimated by the experienced and hard hitting players. Obvious they did not want to play with me.
