Member Testimonials
I like the variety and accessibility of the programs and activities.
Helpful and fun
The instructor is good and the room is the right size and the sound is good
The locker room is always clean, all the lockers are large and the equipment is well maintained.
Great classes and great community. However it would be nice if there was a way to keep people from sitting on the weight machines while they text. It leaves other people waiting to use those machines.
Love Julia’s classes
Friendly instructors.
I live in Mcdonough but I come to the Decatur location because the staff is very nice and the location is always clean orderly and a pleasure to attend.
Hours are great, always clean and reasonable prices for programs
The Y has all the equipment I need, facility is well kept great staff.
I love the East Lake and Decatur YMCA. Everyone is always smiling and kind. I love Carol Hyman's Meditation class and the Step it up class on Tuesday and Thursday at East Lake with Elgin.
I use the Peloton bikes when they are available and working. I really enjoy the access to the Peloton bikes and the on-demand capability of being able to cycle.
I also appreciate the early opening hours.

Location and friendliness
Consistency and instructors who are competent.
I love the club. Some things that are a problem for me are not being able to get into the Pump classes, even if I am sitting on ready with my phone.
I was also disappointed in the introduction session with a trainer were not particularly thorough and I had to ask for the work out routine for several weeks. I also have never had any of the staff follow up to check my progress.
I like the staff. Very friendly and well informed. The coaches are the best. They have kept me coming back. Ruth is amazing and very patient.
I like the cleanliness and the wipes that are available to wipe down equipment.
I like that it reflects my community; old, young, thin, not thin, all ethic backgrounds, all levels of ability And that everyone is welcomed and encouraged. Friendly place.
There are a wide range of classes offered and I hope to take advantage of the pool soon.
The Y offers a good variety of classes and keeps the equipment in good order. There is something available for a wide variety of ages from teen to seniors.
