Member Testimonials
Love the instructors, variety of classes and the community involvement
The variety of classes
The Y has exercise classes that have been beneficial for my health. The staff members at the Decatur Family YMCA where I visit six days a week when I'm in town, have always been helpful and cheerful. The members I interact with are friendly and cooperative which is an indication of the good and pleasant atmosphere the Y provides for its members and the community in general.
I use the group excercise classes. Would love to have a Step Class.
I love the pool for swimming laps and you have some excellent yoga teachers. The trainers are all very welcoming and helpful.
Love the attention to keeping us Seniors fit!

I have not participated in any activities yet
We visited twice while we were in Atlanta last week. (Our home Y is the Summit Family YMCA in Newnan, GA.)
We were greeted and made to feel very welcomed. The staff went out of their way to answer our questions, even sharing the location of one of their favorite nearby coffee shops, when we asked. The facility is beautiful, very clean, and we enjoyed our workouts.
Thank you for the reciprocal arrangement among local Ys.

Pilates classes
Group exercise classes
I am new to the Y but have really enjoyed the gym! I have also noticed there are tons of classes I can take and for the price it really seems like a great deal.
Excellent quality programming. Very inclusive of all athletic abilities.
Lot classes choose from. Clean, nice people Open early.
senior exercise programs are well designed to provide real benefits to seniors
What I really like is the space on level 2 where the workout equipment is. The open floor plan makes it easier to do different things and not feel you’re in different spaces.
Good programs, facility;
Friendly, extremely helpful staff;
Excellent community spirit.
many choices
PLEASE!! PLEASE!! Recruit some experienced yoga teachers and pay them a decent wage. I understand it's all about community service, but this is a tough world we live in and yoga is more important than ever! Patti's absence is solely missed. The 7pm Tuesday class was cancelled 2 weeks in a row and now it's been taken off the schedule completely.
Please make this a priority! Thank you!
Great facility. Staff is friendly and helpful for the most part. But why is the water temperature in the swimming pool always cold? It used to be fine but for many months now it is a couple of degrees cooler than in the past - and a couple of degrees in water temp makes a big difference. Has a decision been made to cool down the water temp? If so I for one do not appreciate it. I only swim at Decatur now if I can't get a lane at East Lake - their water temp is ideal and warmer than yours.

Variety of programs and schedules.
