I absolutely love the Senior Stretch with Jen. She is amazing and so encouraging!!!!
We just joined but so far we really like it.
I like that the teachers are devoted and supportive, that there are a wide range of classes, and that they’re offered at different times throughout the day.
I like the variety of group exercise classes and the beautiful pool. I like many of the exercise instructors, especially Lloyd and Alex.
Group exercise classes especially body pump
The pool scheduling tool is very helpful. All of the staff is kind and courteous. Great facility!
Going back to the old pool scheduling system has been positive for all!
I’ve taken two classes at the Decatur location and enjoyed them both.
Love the dance classes the yoga is also good but there’s too much gentle yoga and there’s one instructor with too many classes since she is by far the least capable
Also the classrooms are very often too hot!!! Even the weight room can be too hot!!! Better a/c and window tinting would help a lot along with more fans!!!
Otherwise I absolutely love the Y😃
The child care center is awesome here!! Thanks for watching my kids!
I like and participate in group exercise classes.
I like the variety. I like that some teachers have been a continuing part of the Y! I like the feeling of genuine caring.
When I’ve needed to make a change in what I could do for exercise, there have been options. I guess that’s the variety available for ages and stages!!
Nyquisha (spelling) in the morning is always pleasant and upbeat. She's a gem.
I like the variety, and the way the staff show that they really care about you.
The front desk staff are always friendly and helpful. Terrance is helping me get back onto the equipment safely, after my surgery. Ruth is always helpful, and willing to help us get healthy.
All in all, the Decatur Y is great!!!
One suggestion...the lock boxes on the wellness floor are beginning to stick. Maybe the spray cleaner is not the best for the boxes. And sometime they end up in lock position, but still open. Then I have to ask the staff to unlock a box for me. I really like these boxes, they help me to keep my car keys and wallet safe!
I give the Y credit for helping me to have good health at 79. I work out three times a week using the machines. I went through coach approach with Ruth several years ago and still track my food and exercise as I was taught to do during the program. I’ve continued to maintain my weight. I also like the way the Y supports the homeless and economically disadvantaged.
Very pleasant people, friends to be around while you work on the drudgery of exercise.
The variety of activities, and the dedicated staff who performed those activities
Easy to navigate, friendly staff.
Love the 45 minute classes!! (An hor is too long.)
Accessibility and firendliness
The wide assortment of equipment in the main exercise area, from cardio machines to weight machines and free weights.
Body pump. Wish there were more classes like this.
I like that my gym membership goes to programs that feed and care for the health of my community
There are a variety of classes offered, most of the ones that I’m interested in are offered at convenient times that align with my schedule.
Family friendly, convenient
Early early classes, the instructors and staff are awesome
Fitness coaching available. Quality exercise equipment. Pleasant staff. Exercise room with lots of windows.
The classes are excellent!! Really great instructors. The front desk staff is super friendly and welcoming
I like the atmosphere of friendliness and helpfulness. The community outreach.
Have not attended a dingle class. I go to exercise in bike or elliptical
The equipment if late has been a letdown. New bikes are not uniform and often dont work well. This is a disappointmnt as they are new!
Long hours open, good selection of machines and exercise area nice. Clean changing rooms, friendly front desk staff.
The only negative - the hot tub looks like it never gets cleaned. Every time I check it, it looks yellow. I never want to go in because of that.
