Before I worried why I couldn't book the lane for the swimming pool. After I went once, I felt everything was good.

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.

I really enjoy the classes! The instructors are very helpful and patient. I also enjoy the coach that I have. She (Ruth) is very patient with me and I love that because I haven't worked out in years.

Brand new basketball/pickleball/volleyball court! Great after school / summer programs for kids. Excellent gym facility. Huge spin class space. Great yoga space and instructors. Pool is clean and well maintained. Whirlpool is great! Excellent new facility about 15 years old. Plenty of parking which is patrolled.

I love this place and I am glad we have our membership. I love seeing all types of people and it's very welcoming. The only thing that irks me is that the teenage boys are often oblivious, can be loud, and hog the machines. I wish that were managed a little bit better, but it's really the only gripe I have.

This place is on some complete and utter BS. I already had some concerns and issues when I dropped my kids off for their teachers' workday camps etc.. However, I labored and went back and forth stressing over the decision on whether or not to do the family membership so my kids and I could work out together. It is $99 a month and I believe it just went up to $106. However after reading their policy on what the children can and can't do in the gym by age, I decided to go for it. Well let me just say the only thing that is working right now is the discount on the youth sports teams. On the being able to use two locations that is where I have to come in and say Decatur Y is out of line completely. In order for me to work out on a regular basis I need to be able to go to Decatur during the week and Ashford Dunwoody on the weekends. The Decatur Y is not consistent with how they deal with my sons and it is very frustrating . For one I have no problem following rules, and as far as what I have seen written and on signs both my kids can use the cardio and one can use the weights with supervision but I feel like I am on pins and needles whenever I go to the Decatur location. One of the first times I went my son and I did cardio together then he was going to go to the basketball gym . He got confused on the way to the gym nad came back up , so he got on a cardio machine and apparently he was not allowed to use that particular one , he told me later that the staff member was demanding he read the sign to her over and over that said 16 plus instead of simply asking him to get off the machine the way humans normally talk to other humans. She was standing there chastising me and my son and I was asking him why he didn't go to the basketball court, he said he didn't see it, and she said "Oh is that what he was trying to do?" again that is not respectful kids have different rules as they should but the respect level they are shown should be the same. If this was an elderly person who was confused he would not be snapped at like this. Well shortly after that the basketball court was closed for over 4 months, and again with the snappish responses when I called to check on it I was told I needed to read the emails, a) what emails? b) I am a paying customer that can't use what I paid for, how about just telling me minus the attitude? Well I went back with my son recently and we did some cardio together then he went to the basketball court, he left the court to come back to me in the cardio area. The staff came to me and told me my son was "walking around the gym by himself and he cannot walk around the gym by himself" he was literally walking from point a to b to get back to me. I told my son we were leaving then she started to tel; me all this stuff that was never stated to me when I signed up, like my son needs to be within "arm's length at all times" and just going on and on. I told my kids we are sticking together period I am walking them to and from everything we use bathrooms , water, everything, while on the floor with the equipment, however I thought that at 9 and 12 years old they were allowed to use the basketball court, and so far no one told me otherwise. After we literally found three treadmills next to each other in order to do our cardio within "arm's length" of each other my sons went to play basketball while I lifted weights , literally 5 minutes later a staff member comes up to me saying children under the age of 13 cannot be in the basketball court unsupervised. I just stared straight ahead gathered my stuff and started to go. But her reason was there were bigger kids : 17 and 18 y old and my kids might get hurt. Woman I am raising two boys, I know they might get hurt and idc!!! That is how it is. But also at what point do they take responsibility for the fact that my kids are their customers. Maybe they should make a rule that 17 and 18 year olds play in a fashion that does not hurt anyone my kids included. The Ashford Dunwoody location is totally

I like the variety of group exercise classes, especially the ones that also work for older adults.

The Decatur Y is a friendly and pleasingly unpretentious place. Both the people who work there and the people who work out are polite and down-to-earth. I never use the pool or the gym, so I can only talk about the machines and the weights. The equipment is usually in excellent condition and well-maintained. Although repairs sometimes take a while, I've never been inconvenienced by the delays. They also have plenty of machines and the place is very spacious. Even when it's crowded it's easy to work around, because at least one of the stations in my routine will be available. My only gripe--and I suspect this is common at any gym--is that there are so many people who linger at the machines either texting, mindlessly scrolling, taking selfies(!), or looking for that perfect song from their playlist to accompany their next set. They seem oblivious to the fact that other people come to actually work out and might need to use the machine they're sitting at...

I would give them no stars but I would not get an option to write the review. I think it is abominable That this facility does not accept Silver Sneakers. Shame
