Member Testimonials
I see they are increasing activities and classes for older adults, but there still need to be more.
Love the equipment....cycles, the team is very nice
Love the accessibility of equipment. Miss the old weight equipment what you could log into and it kept track of repetitions (and desired resistance) I think. Guess you can’t replace everything when you buy new (weight) equipment.
Love the variety and quality of (free, e.g., part of my membership) workout classes.
Cycling , body pump, and the wonderful instructors and Y staff!
The teachers are great. Lots of different options for exercise
I love the various classes.
I use the Y for yoga more than anything else. The quality of the instructors - most instructors - is top notch. There are at least five classes each week during times I can attend with instructors I enjoy. A Y membership is a great investment. Also, when I had family in from out of town, I was able to get a guest pass for the entire week. What a wonderful perk!
awesome classes! love the outdoor bodypump class
Student kids activities very well.
The variety and the friendliness of staff.
Clean cool pool, Joseph's spin class, clear messaging about Covid
I haven’t done classes yet. I plan to. It’s just a comfortable place. Nice people. Easy going.
Programs for children
Cleanliness, a lot of equipment to work out with . Helpful staff
Water aerobics is really good, Wednesday 10 a.m. class, great exercise for balance, posture, nice teacher and supportive class members. And one family member has a personal trainer for work on leg strength and balance. That has been great.
Variety of quality, worthwhile offerings.
The instructors are great
The parkinson's class is very helpful to my husband.
DDY is indeed a family. One of the most inclusive communities I ever participated in.
Spin, pool, yoga & peloton & Expresso bikes:)
Swim lanes
Decatur’s YMCA programs and activities are very well run. Staff members are courteous, knowledgeable, and very helpful. I enjoy Decatur’s YMCA
We really like the swimming lessons and that the scheduling allows for us to access a lot of activities all in one morning.
The staff are always friendly and very accommodating. The facility is clean and organized. I have never been a 'gym rat', but enjoy going there to work out.
They have a good variety of classes and activities. I look forward to trying more of them.
Several types and times of classes. Accepting and encouraging instructors.
The Y has many great classes, lots of variety and excellent instructors. Members are diverse in age, race and abilities. There is a place where everyone feels accepted.
Great place. Helped so much during COVIF.
I love the Y! Love the classes and teachers. Love the clientele - no intimidating spandex or beautiful people here - just a diverse assortment of ordinary folks getting healthy. Although the classes I attend are VERY challenging, and I am quite fit.
Great classes, super instructors and friendly vibes. Our Y is active in Community Service too.

Love it all! Love the peloton! One suggestion though: please cover up the “emergency exit only” words on the door exiting the fitness center. If you want folks to continue exiting that way, it needs to be removed because it is confusing.
