Member Testimonials
I love the variety of options to choose from for exercise and health. I like ActiveLinxx tracking. It really helps me keep up with my exercise ever for things I do outside the Y. I love the pool and aqua aerobics. That's my favorite. I have to limit the times I go due to the chlorine. Sure wish we had salt water. For some of us with sensitive, older skin, chlorine is difficult to deal with on an ongoing basis.
The variety and adult supervision for the kids is great. Most of the staff are friendly and well informed.
I like your exercise classes, especially Zumba Gold, and wish you had more of these classes on your schedule.
Your instructors are outstanding!
I love the summer activities and sports teams you sponsor for children, such a great asset to the community.
The Y is no longer inexpensive, might get more bang for the buck at a regular gym. But that's a Y issue. The Y we go to, which is based on the survey, is always clean, the staff is kind, and it's a great location. The weekend hours, however are awful.
Variety of classes and machines at the facility; great wellness coaches
My favorite is Zumba class with Jae. I also like the new equipment and in general the family environment.
Like class availability. Times are conducive to my schedule. Trainers are available to talk with in the wellness center. Would only say the daytime cleaning crew leaves much to be desired. When I see one of them sweeping the gym floor with the phone between her shoulder and ear, I can only think the job she is supposed to be doing is suffering.
I like group exercise classes.
I like the classes and the variety. I would like to see a yoga class right after work. The 4:30 is too soon on Tuesdays and then 7:30 is too late to go straight to Y after work.
Love the pool access
the weight room is 1st class
Great facility, great staff, great for the community!
We like the Y, with its programming and facilities.
I really like to go to the YMCA. It helps my body to come back in good shape without using some medicines. I like the group exercises that motivate me to exercise because I enjoy meeting people (the instructors are very nice and the participants are friendly too) and they motivate me to do more than I would have done by myself since it would be too embarrassing to quit before the end of the group exercise.
I am only sorry that, with my working schedules, I cannot participate more. At least, I enjoy coming swimming in the lap lane (if one is available) when I cannot participate to group exercises.
To improve your YMCA, I wish that you could organize a preparation to the Senior DeKalb Olympics as a group exercise and also to have, in your email newsletter, some tips for the well being of your participants. As example, the first year I went to the YMCA, after six months, I went to the hospital. I learned that I did not have enough sodium in my body. My neighbor explained to me that, since I was going (at that time) daily to the Y, my muscles were using my sodium and I should have eaten more of it in my diet. I started to drink some "Powerade zero" since that time.
Family friendly
Friendly and helpful staff; Indoor pool family access and child play. However, I find it very inconvenient that child play/carr is not available from 1 to 3:30 pm.
I like this Y a lot. I wish that it offered towels for the pool/locker room and hand towels for working out. Other wise it’s a great location and the employees are wonderful.
Just tried a yoga class & it was lovely
Especially like the group exercises including yoga and Zumba gold.
I joined in February and have been very pleased with the group exercise instructors and the wide variety of classes offered.

I feel so motivated and inspired by the instructors. I've done Y Fit several times now and I absolutely love it!! The environment is also very clean and well maintained. I had the opportunity to do the Murphy challenge on Memorial day and had a total blast doing it! The positive reinforcement and encouragement from the instructors made it possible to finish. I'm so happy I joined!
