Y is keeping me sane in one of the most challenging times of my life. Thank you all! Front he bottom of my heart
Dance Party at the DeKalb/Decatur location is amazing. I’ve gone the past three weekends! SO MUCH FUN 🤩
I don't use those, but the gym is great! Love the basketball court
I like all of them i'm enjoy is clean
Men’s locker room swim suit extractor leaks onto the floor. Also broken coat hanger hook in men’s bathroom stall.
I love the welcoming spirit of the staff and of my fellow Y members. Body Pump is outstanding; it’s a great workout with fabulous instructors!
Most exercise is drudgery. I like being able to talk to other people that are at the Y going
through their drudgery.
I would like for the ability to reserve a lane in the pool. We used to be able to reserve lane 4. I found this helpful. I am not the best swimmer, and am very liable to bump into someone I am sharing a lane with.
Thank you.
Great facility with a multitude of programs and classes to promote fitness regardless of a members age:
Been a member for years and try to get to Y five or six times a week
I love the variety of classes that you offer and the newer machines that immediately sync with my apple watch. If I don't have time to get to a spin class I also enjoy the peleton options, some great classes.
Variety of exercise of classes; abundance and variety of cardio machines and weights.

I love the childcare, the people who work in the playroom are so sweet and my children love spending time with them. I wouldn’t be able to workout without this option so to me it is priceless!
