Member Testimonials
The Decatur Y has really great spin instructors. They are well-prepared and creative and they care about the participants we’ll-being. Really love how reliable and fun the instructors are!
Variety and knowledgeable teachers
Very nice folks who work at the Decatur Y, lovely pool staff. Super helpful gentleman working the front desk helped me step by step figure out the lap lane reservation app until I actually understood how to go through the process. This was done during a phone call, I can now successfully reserve a lane for myself, wasn’t able to do that previously. I was so frustrated and now feel so good about my new, very important skill, thank you Decatur Y staff!!!!!
Many varied classes, something fun for everyone, great instructors, great atmosphere, great culture of community support and engagement.
Lots of options, clean facilities
There’s a wide variety of classes and the instructors are approachable and seem to care about the Y including the members. I like the mission and neighborhood support.
Available to all age groups
Would love to shed scheduling lap swim. There is not COVID protocol that continues to drive this practice. We have been sharing lanes for over a year. Time to resume first come, first served.
Love spin class with Andre -- he's the best!
Welcoming to all, satisfactory exercise equipment. But not always kept in working order.
The instructors are fantastic. The YMCA truly supports the community. The people who work at the Y are terrific.
I really appreciate the senior strength classes...they keep me feeling fit.
My visit was limited to strength training and Peloton.
I especially like Gentle Yoga and Tai Chi classes at the Decatur/Dekalb Y.
I like the gym. I do not like the leg press in the free weights area. It takes up too much room and that area should only be for lifting. It get too crowded and we need the space. The mirrors are for lifting not a leg press.
I just go to the gym for the strength training machines so I can’t speak for any other activities. The staff there is very personable and willing to help.
Safe place to get some exercise.
Staff is so courteous.
Facility is clean, parking is easy.
