Childcare and social activities

I like the variety of classes, and the instructors.

The teachers from whom I regularly take classes are excellent.

I attended the Y Cycle class with Andre and he was extremely helpful. It was my first time so he showed me how to set up the bike and explained all of the features in great detail. During the class, I really appreciated the fun music, clear instructions, and supportive atmosphere. I will definitely attend again.

I typically use the weight room. Overall, it has what I need.

Te pool is warm.

I like the weights and cardio. But there are way too many teens milling about.
Could you do a teen hour or something. Actually it really isn’t the teens—too many people in the weight section. It’s frustrating to have people sitting on the machines on their phones too. But, the staff is good/helpful, the cardio machines are plentiful, etc. Excellent location; one of the better ones!

I joined the Decatur Y in about 1980 and have returned after about 10 years. I mostly use the weight machines and the indoor track.

Barre and Pilates

I love the Decatur Family YMCA located on Claremont in Decatur. The employees are very welcoming, professional, and always helpful! I especially love all the water aerobics classes, which I attend every week. They have helped my back issues immensely!
