Our Y's Stories

Real People. Real Impact. 

At the Decatur Family YMCA, every member has a story — and we're here to celebrate them. "Our Y’s Stories" showcases inspiring journeys from our YMCA community, including our Members of the Month and heartfelt success stories. From health transformations to personal triumphs, these are the stories that remind us why we’re more than just a gym — we’re a family.

Congratulations to our January Members of the Month, Matilda and LonDale Beasley! Members for over 14 years, they are a wonderful duo who bring great energy to the Y. Whether it's meeting with their group for coffee in the lobby or working out in the fitness center four times a week, you rarely see one without the other. We love having them as part of our Y family!

February Member of the Month, Edith Dial! 

Edith has been a valued member for 3 and a half years, and her transformation is truly remarkable!  By consistently using the pool 5 to 6 times a week, she's achieved incredible results. Beyond her physical progress, Edith’s positive attitude and dedication are a huge inspiration to everyone around her. 

Keep up the amazing work, Edith!  You’re a true role model for commitment and positivity!
