Member Testimonials
So far I've had great instructors and the classes have been fun and filled with nice participants. The pools have areas for kids to feel confident when they are learning to swim. The weight room is amazing and I love the windows that keep the room bright. The kids area has sweet helpers that are so kind to my granddaughter. Everything about this gym is perfect and I love it!
I just tried the WW Y because it's now much closer to my home than the Decatur Y, which I've used for years.
I found the weight/cardio room to be light, clean, and pleasant. The staff was friendly, and I will definitely be back.
That said, I have held off trying the WW because there are so many fewer classes at this Y.
Why is that?
The professional and friendly attitudes of all personnel.
The variety of activities available.
The clean and safe facility.
Plenty of free parking.
The ability to meet others in my age range.

the family atmosphere
I am a senior, and I love the water aerobics class on Monday’s and Wednesday mornings!!
Everything is goood
I like the same experience that I get each time I go what I expect I get I enjoy that.
Front Desk staff were engaging and welcoming. They were quick to respond to all my questions with a smile. In some other facilities, staff are often distracted on their portable devices. The equipment was clean, well spaced out, and up-to-date. Parking was plentiful with ample space between lanes.
Like the upgrades to the seated area by the pool window, and the lounge area by the track. Like the addition of a touchless door leading to the locker rooms. Also, appreciate the investment in new lockers, many of the other facilities have old, broken ones. Fitness Centre staff stayed at desk instead of periodically walking the floor though.
Clean, spacious areas to exercise. Courteous and attentive staff.
The staff is friendly and helpful. The facilities are clean
The accessibility and support
I like the classes and the instructors
The pool and Wellness center
The best thing is the friendly and helpful staff. That makes me glad to be there.
The fitness center and pool and track cover most of my workout needs. Everything is well maintained.
Cons:
The monthly cost is high. My partner would love to join but can’t afford it and he doesn’t use it enough. It would be great if there was a day pass price for people like him.
Two major assets are unused: the climbing wall and the ceramics room. I know there are people who could teach those and it would be a huge attraction. You could also do a day pass for those, to draw non-members.
There also aren’t enough studio classes. I was so disappointed when Saturday Zumba stopped. And having classes at 7 pm is right after dinner - who wants to workout then? It’s either that or wait until 8:30 to eat which is also unhealthy.
I hope this gets to the right people. I love Wade Walker and want it to thrive!!

Everything
Convenient
I fully enjoy water aerobics
Line Dancing—Victoria is an amazing instructor and taught me steps I’ve been trying to learn for two years!! Plus, she makes it fun but still a great workout that makes me sweat. I had to bring my daughter to check it out!
