Every staff member I have encountered has been friendly and knowledgable. Overall the entire facility is a tremendous value.
We love the classes and my youngest son especially loves the play center. Everyone there is so caring and attentive. He went through a short phase when he was wary of being left but they worked with him to make him comfortable and now he looks forward to it every time!
The Decatur-DeKalb Y has so much to offer in the way of group exercise...I exercise at the Y 6/7 days per week nearly all of the time. I love my spin classes, my turbo kick classes, and my fierce funk. I really like that the machines are available and rarely is there a wait. The Y is clean and there's always towels. The staff are also really friendly. I am lucky to be so near this facility!
This place is clean, welcoming and has a wonderful variety of classes. For the most part the instructors are excellent! I am just returning to exercise at the Y after a 5 year hiatus! There are plenty of ways I can get my exercise in with classes that are meant for people with my level of fitness! I really enjoy my time at the Y!
I workout at the Decatur ymca 4 or five times a week. It's always a pleasant and peaceful atmosphere, especially after having a long day at work. It is very convenient to my job, which is a plus. The Staff members are always very pleasant and helpful. You never get bored there is a wide variety of activities, equipment, (there is also pool, whirlpool and steam room ) to meet the needs of everyone from beginners to the advanced. This place is always neat clean. I always safe here. Thanks Decatur YMCA FOR providing excellent services and programs!

Love this YMCA location! Great classes, friendly staff!
While many of the staff are friendly and helpful, there are several in the wellness center who are rude and border on harassing. The managers' responses only empowered the employee to be more rude.
Update: when my husband watched two teenagers take my neon lime green patagonia coat from the rack, the wellness manager on duty, Ruth, took a blame-the-victim stance and told us we left it there at our own risk. She did speak to the kids, but defended them saying they didn't know it was mine. (It was the only jacket of that kind and color on the rack).

I just want to say Chartez the new Deck Manager is really a god sent person because he's very attentive to the swimmers. He encourages them to face adversity and he's the epitome of a Aquatic Professional. He has the remarkable ability to increase customer service and as I watch him with the staff he alway seem to boost there energy he pushes them to more professional growth I honestly think that he needs a Promotion. I more comfortable coming to swim now because I feel that he is very responsible. Chartez is an impressive manager who is always accountable for the Pool and staff. His knowledge of Swimming and expertise in Aquatic Management is a huge advantage to the entire Community at Decatur YMCA . This guy is truly amazing ! He need to be a director.
I enjoy coming to the YMCA in Decatur on Clairemont Ave. The staff and those coming to the Y are so friendly
In the past the staff and clientele was quite diverse and friendly. One of my family members reported recently being stared at by some of the clientele as if being "profiled". I suppose the individuals do not realize "paying members " can use a facility even if they don't live in the neighborhood.

Great to work out and bring the kids to their classes.
A comfortable, safe place for all walks of life. Old, young, thick, thin... They have towels and sanitation is key. They provide wipes for machine use. Fancy workout outfits are not necessary. All fitness levels are welcome.

This is a great Y. No issues here, everything is exactly as advertised.
Nice new facility and good mix of equipment. Family-friendly. Heated indoor pool, hot tub and steam room. I like the classes a lot, but they could offer a few more hard core classes.
This was our daughter's first year at the YMCA summer camp, and she loved it. I could tell that she was engaged and stayed active. The staff were caring and attentive. My daughter also made several new friends that we have kept in touch with even though camp has ended. The photos taken each week by the staff are a great bonus, as well as the special Friday activities. We will definitely be back next year.
I really wanted to join this Y but registering here would take an act of God. I'm sure for those will to take on this guantlet it pays off. But I would recommend taking your money to a gym that wants you to be a member.
Discrimination, favoritism, sexist, & no compassion for the disabled. Treat my child l8ke she is,an inconvenience for being born. Asses@
I loved going to the Y and had once been a member here. When I walked in to reconsider joining, I checked their dressing room and saw that they no longer had gender separate jacuzzi and steam room. It's all co-ed! This is rather discouraging because I'm modest and don't want to mingle with topless men in skimpy doo. Also only 2 rowing machines!? Man... I'm checking out the other Y and see what they have.
Great place to workout on your own, but the kids programs are awful. We started with "ballet" for our three year old here and two bratty little girls ran circles around the teacher. She spent most of her time scolding them and warning them, not teaching anything. We tried the "horse camp" one summer that promised to give the kids lots of time in the saddle. The kids got 45 minutes. The rest of the time was spent sitting in the shade, watching counselors flirt and text. Later we tried gymnastics which was a good first start but once it came to joining the team, we realized the Y's aspirations are way beyond its means. The equipment has to be set up and taken down every session. They do it quickly and without really checking to make sure everything is right. In the year we were there, three girls broke bones during practices. The coaches are bored teenagers who spend most of their time staring at their phones or sitting on the floor rather that doing any actual coaching. I was embarrassed for the team at meets because other coaches were enthusiastically cheering on their teams, the Y coaches just sat there, barely acknowledging that one of their girls had just performed. The other teams sparkled and shined for the judges, the Y team didn't know how to smile or salute because their coaches didn't teach them. The final straw for our gymnastics experience was when one of the "coaches" cornered my daughter at a practice and pinned her against a wall asking, "Why don't you like me?" Maybe she doesn't like you because you're a threatening ass, just a thought. That ended our experiment with the Y's children's programs. I realize that most of their "coaches" are volunteers, but there has to be more training and oversight for them. The Y's programs might be a good way for your kids to try a sport, but once they show talent or real interest in an activity, if you can afford it, move them to a better facility with caring, thoughtful coaches.
