Member Testimonials
This was my 1st visit to the Decatur location for my daughter's gymnastics/dance class. I was expressed with the facility and inviting feel from other members and staff.
I only use the pool, so that's all that I can comment on. One of the guards, Autumn, is excellent. She's friendly, professional and calm in a difficult situation. I saw her deal with a difficult member, and she couldn't have been more calm and professional.
I like that the pool is salt water and has the wall of windows that makes for a pleasant swim year round.
Very organized classes.
Safe workout machines.
Kind and healthy employees.
Clean equipment and toilets.
I love the variety of times and types of classes. I’ve been especially happy with the outdoor options during the last few years. Allowed me to keep my sanity.
The instructors are so positive and encouraging. They make classes fun. Time goes by so fast, I don't even realize how much effort they are getting out of me during class!
But my body can feel the changes!!
Keep all of these wonderful instructors. They, along with my lively classmates, are what make the Y so unique.
At this time I only use the gym. I appreciate the organization, cleanliness, and reinforcement of guidelines. The equipment is well maintained and of sufficient variety.
I like group classes, especially body pump, spin kickboxing and yin yoga.
Swimming laps. I like being able to reserve a lane in advance and know that when I show up, I can swim at my own pace and my lane will be there
Everything is accessible and easy to do . The staff is extremely nice !
Turbo Kick class
Morning class offerings
This YMCA location is well kept, clean and safe. The staff are very helpful and have a good knowledge of the services available. The instructors spend time to explain their program and are helpful to individual requests. Thank you
I really like being able to reserve a swim lane and hope that feature continues after COVID. It will be nice when towel service is reinstated. I like all the dividers, sprayer, and other COVID precautions that the Y has taken over the last two years.
I have been disappointed in the Y in the time of COVID because they have not taken any major steps to improve the facility's air quality and prevent spread of airborne diseases.
The filters used capture no significant amount of COVID. Outside air may meet the standard required when the building was built, but I have no information that the building still meets those design criteria.
It's important not just for COVID, but because we know that fine particulate matter smaller than 2.5 microns can increase the chance of "heart events" and decrease the good effects from a cardio workout.
Variety of classes
Would like more options like traditional boxing or kickboxing classes.
I like the weights and cardio equipment.
Enjoy the variety of group classes. Instructors all have a great attitude/energy. I am always happy I invested the time in self care.
Entertaining..... very involved.... caring
I like the variety of classes and the easy accessibility to treadmills and weigh equipment.
How friendly everyone is in the classes, both instructors and other participants
Love the Y
I just go for the gym. Sorry I can’t give more feedback.
Not sure. I have not resumed classes. I do find it difficult to get a lane for the pool if your not quick which is slightly annoying and having to scroll all the way over too.
Staf f and courteous and friendly. Members are welcoming.
