Decatur Family YMCA

Great facility offering something for all ages from childcare to lap swimming. Staff is very friendly, patient and informative. Pool activities are well scheduled and you can even reserve a lane for swimming laps. Membership is by the month with no contract. Stop by or go on-line to see the full list of offerings. Parking is adequate, but if it’s busy your first workout could be getting to the front door.

We swam laps for a good hour and a half and couldn’t help but notice that the lifeguard was never once on the lifeguard stand or near any kind of flotation device, and was literally face down in a phone playing videos the entire time. It was a rare occurrence to see their eyes on the pool, and the pool was full of swimmers, including children. My husband has been a trained certified lifeguard in the past and was a bit floored, as this is completely unacceptable in official lifeguard training. This was very disheartening, as the on-duty lifeguard was one of the reasons we were attracted to this option as opposed to other gyms in the area. Tried contacting leadership about this and never heard back.

Great value for the money. Lots of different ways to exercise, and not just machines and weights. A total fitness center with running track, basketball court, pool, aerobic classes, sauna and whirlpool.

I really enjoy the clean and spacious facility. All the staff members and personnel are helpful, friendly, and informative. It feels like my private gym although they have many activities for any interest you may have or be involved with. The hours of operation are very accommodating and the location is in a very safe area. This is definitely the place to be for workouts!

SHAME ON YOU! Can’t you elitists revert your revenue model to offer fair member pricing without putting guests who can’t afford to pay your ridiculous fees through the indignity of submitting tax forms and whatever other humiliating hoops that bring you sadistic pleasure? Your organization was born out of a desire to meet the needs of local youth and everyone else in the community. You evolved into another heartless, gluttonous, capitalist American entity determined to separate patrons by caste. Wouldn’t it make more sense for members to pay a flat rate with quarterly options to donate to YMCA programs? STOP HURTING YOUR OWN PEOPLE!
