Very good swimming pools; friendly staff.
Clean facility , welcoming and helpful staff
I love Miriam's water challenge class. I wish she could add another class on Friday. It is perfect strength and core training for seniors. Is it possible to add another class?
How gaged the staff are with the classes or any concerns about anything.
Excellent, professional instructors of multiple classes each day. Reasonable physical plant. Plenty of parking with sufficient number of Handicapped slots. Staff and instructors helpful and friendly. Suitable accommodations for all levels. Welcoming, and participates in community-supporting activities- e.g., coat food, and food drives. Glad to be a long-term member.
Friendly & helpful staff.
I really enjoy the variety of classes (although it seems like there are fewer classes offered over the last month), the variety of strength machines and definitely the coach program! The staff is so friendly and helpful.
The staff: Terrance, Shelly and Ruth
Swimming pool and spin classes
Every things
They rock! Good instructors, great classes, wonderful community!
I like the variety of programs and the pool is a huge plus
I’ve only done the water Pilates class but enjoyed it.
I love the community experience of the Decatur YMCA. The classes are great and most of the staff is helpful and friendly. The front desk aaaociatea may need some customer service training.
Friendly employees.
Great facility and instructors.
There are not enough open swim lanes.
Great facility, great instructors, and lots of classes to choose from to keep workouts fun and interesting.
A plethora of Great programs for Active Senior Adults, large number of equipment for members along with the indoor track and olympic size Swimming pool make the Decatur YMCA one of the best facilities in Metro Atlanta!
I love the Monday morning running group.. even though turnout isn’t great, it’s such a fantastic opportunity to run in the morning with others! It’s outside, which I love, and I think it’s cool that programming can be “outside the box” or, literally outside.
Everything is good BUT : I am handicapped and thus like other handicapped users I cannot use the bathroom because the door is too hard to open and close
Good variety & great instructors!
Very welcoming for all abilities.
Professional instructors who are sympathetic about participant’s physical restrictions.
DO NOT LIKE 24 hour period to register for classes. I would like 36 hours to register for classes.
Yes I do enjoy participating in the programs
Something for everyone!
we enjoy the YMCA activities for our child especially! we find that the instruction is much better than other community programs and our child gets more attention. He is currently in Basketball Skills with Coaches JC and Dan, and they are excellent. It's a small class size so each child gets attention, along with encouragement too. the skills are appropriate for his age but are challenging at the same time. we will definitely continue with the skills program in the future.

Great facility & friendly staff - healthy atmosphere.
