Variety, friendliness of members. I also want to state that I am impressed with the cleanliness of the YMCA. I am also a member of a non YMCA fitness facility and the difference in the cleanliness of the facilities are quite noticeable.

Danxe Party with Alexz brings dance and joy into my life iand is my #1 reason for coming to the Y. When I can't get into Alexz's class, then I enjoy water aerobics with Carol. Mahjong is fun as is Safeyah's Women's Explorers trip and book club.
The staff is welcoming, friendly, and helpful. (Darvin, Jenny, Trish, many others)
YOGA CLASS DAILY 👍 Please !
Affordable and fun! There isn’t much pressure on performance, just having fun and learning a new skill.
Instructors & variety of classes
Easy to come and go to get workouts in
Very positive place. Love to come there.
It's a nice community atmosphere. I only remain a member to attend Alexz's Dance Party classes though! He should teach full time, and in a bigger room :) I often can't get a spot and it's almost the only thing I go to. Occasionally I attend pilates or use the weight room. I would love to see more pilates too.
Wide variety of group exercise options
Friendly staff
I just retired on June 1st, and finally have the time and schedule flexibility to come over to the Y whenever I want, without having to worry about my past (very busy) work schedule. Coach Walker set me up with an exercise routine focused on my request to strengthen my abs, shoulders and back. So, initially, I am focused on using the CYBEX equipment, and have been pleased with the number of available machines, and the care I have seen most users are giving to wiping down handles with disinfectant
Eventually I may branch out and investigate all of the programs offered at the Y. Looks like there are many good ones to choose from.
The YMCA Decatur has a host of programs, activities, and the staff are extremely helpful. It's a great place to work out and meet new people. I love it!
I sure wish you had a college plan, for kids who are in town during the summer and breaks that could be turned on and off for weeks/months at a time rather than having to go through signing up and cancelling every time! :) Thanks for asking for my feedback. This has been driving me crazy.

The YMCA offers a variety of activities. Any modification might be a better way of "advertising" the classes.
