I love the classes and all of the amenities (showers, towles, pool)
Fitness classes
It was great! Friendly and helpful! The lagoon area was a little crazy and seemed like parents were not present with their children but the lifeguard kept everyone behaving.
Variety of activities throughout the day!
They keep you upbeat and fit...

Everything
Consistent

Very limited parking on Monday evenings a problem
I believe this Y makes every effort to accommodate those in financial need. That is critically important to my idea of the mission of the YMCA. The programs and classes seem to be consistent for years--which is great. One concern, sometimes instructors don't show for class and there is no notice given. This has happened to me twice. I think the management needs to be let instructors know that they need to notify students if they don't expect to be in class. Emergencies, of course, are the exception but the Y management would them post a sign--right :)
That there are a variety of class choices and they're included in the membership.
Great facility. User friendly. Activities for every age and/or ability. Clean. Attentive staff.
Fairly good hours, great class schedule (in both the variety offered and the number of classes on the schedule), child-friendly. All of programs we’ve taken a part of have been great (soccer, gymnastics, basketball).
The whole community feeling

Good assortment of group classes. Like the large pool with zero entry area.

Variety & frequency
The facility is always clean. The staff is so friendly, professional and encouraging they feel like family. The equipment is up to date. East Lake Family Y has everything I need to stay fit and healthy.
I like the variety of fitness classes, especially at the Decatur YMCA.
Exercise classes
I'm just getting started so it's hard to give any specifics. I do like the fact that there is someone to consult with regarding goals and strategies and the opportunity to follow up once you get started.
