Member Testimonials
I really just use the machines. I like the laid back, non-intrusive atmosphere.
I really like the variety of classes that are available. I also love the amount of equipment (cardio and weight equipment) that’s available.
I like everything about the Y, especially the community focus and the attentiveness of the staff. I WAS bummed about the roof leak and the catastrophic damage it caused. Couldn't help but wonder if that could have been avoided by more proactive maintenance.
I am participating in the lap swimming on a regular basis. THANKS for making the scheduling process much more "user friendly!" All the lifeguards are very helpful, as is the staff at the Decatur Family YMCA on Clairmont Road.
Haven't used them yet but there seems to be a good selection
Great mix of classes and nice facilities.
Really enjoying the club as a new member.
This is my go to Y location that I frequent the most. I like the layout of the weight room. They have an excellent selection of weight equipment, and I don't feel cramped for space while working out.
Instructor Dwayne is fantastic.
I will say the YMCA’s in ATL are vey outdated and the workout equipment is old. The machines are covered in sweat and generally dirty. I’m a member at Buckhead and the same exact issue persists— folk do not use towels during workouts (customary in CA) nor are members wiping down machines before and after use.
I’d suggest raising the prices so that you all can provide better service and demand patrons to use towels and to clean the machines after use.
I just think the gym is rly nice and clean and everyone is pleasant. 10/10 would work out again.
Exercise class offerings
Love Bodypump!
Need more equipment though for larger classes. It’s clearly in high demand.
A great place to exercise with caring and knowledgeable staff.
Very welcoming environment. I mostly use the cardio and weight machines and I appreciate that those areas are well-maintained. Also the staff is super friendly and helpful.
My son loves swim lessons and the play room!
Excellent
Water aerobics classes- we need more
I haven’t taken advantage of any classes yet. I do like the quality and quality of exercise equipment.
convenient, varied, good instructors, facilities are spacious, staff is super, friendly and obliging in every way.
Decatur Dekalb YMCA has class levels for every age and interest. The instructors are knowledgeable and helpful in making sure you're in the right class.
I like the large selection of fitness equipment. I have been a member at the Eastlake location since 2002 and I am amazed that we don't have as large of a selection as the Decatur location.
Great instructors and a wide variety to pick from.
When I walk in the building, I feel positivity. It motivates me and I like bringing my son here for this reason.
Having childcare so I can exercise
I like how to cardio area is well stocked with machines that have great features!
The only think I wish this Y had was a sauna like some other Ys, but still very great for working out.
Clean modern equipment.
Great classes and instructors.
The variety of programs
love the fitness classes, facilities are clean and modern and love having a child center.
Swimming for myself but I appreciate the work with kids
