Excellent yoga instructors and lots of different day/time options to choose from. Low-key environment perfect for kids, families, seniors, singles -everyone.

Love your spin and body pump classes. Your free weight area is well equipped so you don’t have to wait. Things are very clean, and staff is great.
Wide variety of activities for all ages. Friendly staff.
I love my Decatur Family Y. The wellness staff are all amazing - friendly, knowledgeable,
and caring. The facilities are always clean. The Y is a huge part of my life, and I'm grateful to have something like this so close to home!
Reservable pool lanes are the absolute best!
I love your classes!!!!
The classes
I like the variety of classes and programs you offer for different age and ability groups.
I have been so impressed in how you addressed the pandemic modifications that still allowed members to continue using the Y. Last, the level in cleanliness is exception and always has been since I joined in 2009. Thanks for being a great Y!
Spacious, plenty of machines in cardio room, quiet, love the barriers.
I know the programs serve a diverse group of kids.
I love the Group cycle class and the ability to lane swim and book in advance.
programs and activities for all ages
Hello Decatur YMCA
I like YOUR security and have felt VERY safe during this pandemic year at the Decatur YMCA.
Thank you for all the efforts and hard worK that the Decatur YMCA has continued during this difficult time.

Thank you for keeping us safe,

PS. Yoga and Pilates are my favorite
class workouts. I prefer a class rather than equipment in the gym.
Thank you again, for all of your interest and
hard work. 😁
Great facilities, good hours, nice people, good comradery through unpleasant personal exercises.
great classes, great teachers, friend/family like atmosphere, clean and well maintained
The equipment is easily accessible with no waiting.
Great folks. The Decatur Y has been a life-saver for me during Covid. My Emory gym closed and is still closed. (Not sure I am going back.)
The lap-swim, the excellent classes, and pickle ball have been favorites. And the extra safety you guys have in place provided confidence that we are all as safe as possible.
Keep up the good work.
I like the family atmosphere at the Y. However, I do think the members should have input about the new programs and activities that are being implemented. I attend the Monday afternoon Gentle Yoga class and it was a well-attended class. Now that it has been changed to Family Yoga, the attendance has dropped dramatically.
Love the trainers, love the staff and love the facilities.
Excellent activities and programs !!
I enjoy the wide availability of organized classes. That's what I need - structure.
Friendly place to work out
Adult classes
The classes. It’s my favorite way to exercise and I appreciate the diversity of times and types. I wish there were more class offerings at the Wade Walker location.
I really appreciate that you have put the dividers between the cardio machines. I hope you leave them there!
Clean, organize, family -friends oriented and a great staff
My visits to the Y have been great - the staff is extremely helpful and attentive. My 1.5 year old son started swim lessons and they have been perfect. He had a great time.
The Decatur YMCA policies during the pandemic ensure the safety of all members.
The wide array of group exercise classes is top-notch! The community-centered mission fosters an optimistic approach to life and wellbeing. The Y plays an important role in my life.

I like the yoga classes by Patti L. It would be great if Catherine J. could come back and teach the Pilates class. I really loved that one. It was a big hit and always a full class.
I would really like to see the Y open back up until 10:00pm and also for the ladies stretching / weights / exercise ball area to be back in the ladies locker room.
