DAC has went downhill significantly! They have machines go down & they don't fix them & a lot of the machines are broke or only certain features work on them. Very frustrating as this gym is closest to my home, yet I feel now I'm forced to find a different gym that CARES about their clients & their property w/in the gym!

The 5 stars reviews are clearly before the new management in 2023.
The new management of this once fantastic facility has ruined it.

Rather than spending funds on branding, the new management should have spent funds on HVAC, facility repairs and cleaning.
There has been no air conditioning in the gym facility for the ENTIRE summer, which would have been received better by the members had the owner not lied to the members about the repairs. We were given wet towels as a consolation.

It’s obvious this new owner has no business sense as the emails from the owner are negative, emotionally charged and grammatically incorrect.

It’s disappointing to be treated so poorly.

This once clean and friendly facility is now filthy, with a staff of unkind and unprofessional employees (with the exception of a couple of people). The new owner clearly knows nothing about running a business or customer service. Everyone I speak to in the club feels the exact same way.

Unfortunately this once great institution has experienced a rapid decline in terms of management and quality. What was once a clean friendly atmosphere has degraded to the point of disgust. Mold openly growing in water fountains, broken machines and weights scattered haphazardly among the weight room, multiple reported sightings of insects and parasites living in both the pool and water systems, and worst of all multiple members have complained of a strong order of animal feces in the ventilation. After almost of a decade of membership I finally had enough and will not be retuning.

Excellent facility with much to offer. Arguably one, if not the only gym/club with the most to offer in Decatur. Options are already pretty scarce in this town, but the DAC delivers. Wide range of tennis and basketball courts, indoor/outdoor pool, locker rooms, steam rooms, hot tubs, and especially gym equipment for even your most experienced lifters. Very retro equipment and facility. However, I have never seen such well maintained and clean Cybex equipment as well as others. I've seen plenty of newer, modern gyms with equipment in tremendously bad shape and poor cleaning routines. You can always expect machines to be widely accessible and usable majority of the time. Staff and other patrons are always friendly and welcoming. My only small gripe, is that you can expect the steam room (in the men's locker room at least) to be down every couple months due to a bad part. I would honestly prefer it be replaced with a sauna as it's getting in rough shape. Other than that, always a great experience, and suggest to any of those in the area.

A great place for the serious lifter and fitness enthusiast. Specialized area just for indoor tennis, basketball court, 2 hot tubs, 4 lane 25' lap pool, free weights, machines, tons of classes including spin, yoga, and boot camps. No track. Cleaning supplies everywhere for safety and cleanliness. I've never had a bad experience the 3 years I've been a member. Kind and helpful people everywhere.

I would like to express my opinion about this club. I was a member of Decatur Athletic Club for a year. I am highly dissatisfied with a front clerk service person as my membership was cancelled without any notification, they had issue of processing payment and did not contact me directly over the phone but just cancelled membership with no notice. Today on July 14 2019 I wanted to work out and use pool for swimming and front clerk stated that I cannot and did not offer any solution to resolve this matter. I asked for temporary permit to entry and she declined. It was like slap in the face. So this place now has lost my business since their customer service is so poor. And I will never recommend this place to anyone. Their prices are way too high for membership and service is so bad and needs improvement. I am switching to another Health Club who had better service and better pricing. This country stands by it service. This place definitely needs to be better, if they want to stay in business.

Lauren General Manager has reached out to me and offered solutions and she did resolved the issues, so I have reconsidered and decided to give them another chance to stay and continue my membership for now.

I'm so glad I joined last summer. I love the water exercise classes(splash cardio). It has helped my back and sciatica so much. It's great the way the different instructors change things up.
I love the gym and use mostly the treadmill. It's clean and everyone is friendly!!!

Guess I don't understand why they have to lock out the thermostat in the aerobic studio. Basically the same temperature is supposed to work for Zumba, and then yoga right after. Their supposed thermostat program never worked. It got really ridiculous and unprofessional for a while there - it would be really hot in the room during Zumba and the personal trainers complaining about the volume would close the door. You're all employees there, why not sort this out professionally in advance rather than acting like children and compromising my $$ and my workout?

The instructors also get a bit too comfortable with the prechoreographed workouts. Other than the one really popular Zumba instructor, everyone just seems to stick to the minimum amount of change they can. At many other gyms I've been to, whether it's Les Mills classes or turbo kick, etc, there's a lot more mixing it up!
