The staff and the people who attended. I love the sense and of community.
I like the pool for swimming laps and the pilates classes.
I really enjoy the variety of classes offered. Also, the instructors are kind and knowledgable. They explain how the moves benefits the body.
The cardio space and weight machines are fantastic. I know there are newer versions but the ones you have are the best. Don’t “upgrade” — stay with quality. Lots of light and space and good energy.

I like the variety of activities, the friendly staff, the facility cleanliness.
Love the Y. Great classes and instructors.
I love Body Pump classes at the Decatur Y but they are always full, so you have to quickly sign up. It would be great if there were more of these classes and/or if they offered at the Eastlake Y.
A good verity of helpful programs. Great staff
I love the high quality of the classes, the up to date equipment and the friendliness of the staff!
The Pilates class is my favorite.
I love the classes! And the vibe of the Y is very friendly and diverse.
My request: PLEASE ACCEPT SILVER SNEAKERS! Many more seniors want to participate at the Y, but cannot afford to pay for a gym membership when their Medicare supplement (Blue Cross/Blue Shield, for one) doesn't include the Y. I finally decided to pay for the Y anyway, but that's over $700/year out of my pocket.
Outdoor body pump
The versatility of classes and class times. The staff is AMAZING and SUPER helpful.
The friend atmosphere of the Decatur YMCA and the willingness of all staff members to assist members
Functional fitness was the bomb. Started on time, instructor was very engaging & the vibe was great. Zumba not so much with Ava P. Granted she’s always late regardless of the location. It’s hard to follow her moves because she don’t instruct well to let a person know wheat to do. Overall very nice clean friendly facility.
I like the friendly staff and seeing some of the same members each day.
Like the pool but wish some lanes could be reserved
availability of wellness center whenever I would like to use the equipment
Good classes, good instructors, good staff!
Like the accessibility. Also nice people work there. ONE BIG COMPLAINT. The workout room is so dusty. The rafters by the lights are filled with dust and a hazard especially to those allergic to dust mites. Also the equipment has tons of dust and hair. Clean more regularly.
Wonderful place to work out, clean pleasant staff
I like the variety of classes and the high-quality instructors. Shout out to Melody and Lucky! I do miss towels and I wish there was a way to make the lockers safe to use while you’re swimming. Thanks for all your hard work.

Diverse options and kind staff! Very motivating environment
