Jackson R. Lehman Family YMCA

Great roomy, clean, relaxing place to workout when I can get there living downtown.

The building is big, but it needs more space in the area where the weights are, and there are not enough weights. Parkview is better for me

Machines always in top condition. Staff is friendly and helpful (if you require it) Child watch is excellent. So many classes and activities! Really like the pools here. Very clean facility overall. What can i say? I love my home branch.

Love the place so far, but when there's a kid with a wet cough playing in the slide area, please come up with an excuse (just lie if you have to) to close the area right away.It's one thing to be an adult in the open weight room area and cover your cough while continuously wiping down equipment, but a young toddler coughing all over an enclosed slide in a play area with walls on all but one side and not being old enough to know to cover their cough while parent is watching and also coughing with no mask on is another thing.Not like we're in a pandemic or anything. This happened just around 5pm on jan 21.

I got my first YMCA membership here by recommendation from a friend and because of how close it is to my house. I've been in other Y's before in Fort Wayne but this is the one I like the most.

Staff is so genuinely kind and patient. Love to go hear with the family. I do wish they had an outdoor pool though.

JRL YMCA is one of my family's favorite places!! Great staff. Clean and safe environment. Lots of activities to be a part of. And just an all around great place to be connected to.

I’ve become to really enjoy this location. Over the past year getting really involved here has been a pleasure. The staff is amazing. I’ve gotten to know the ladies in childcare and they are really caring and communication is great. When my son had an accident they called me immediately and gave me options. They found a change of clothes for him and washed him up. Alena at the front desk is very helpful and so sweet. They really do everything to help. I’m appreciative!

Friendly staff. Good environment and a large variety of equipment. My wife and I come here regularly to use the indoor track and some of the equipment. They have lots of programs for the whole family though I'll admit I have not tried them but everyone I see doing them seems happy. Not usually over crowded and they can offer help with costs if you are going through a hardship. They have a program for the disabled called silver sneakers that allow you to go for free. My only real gripe is that I was told I got 2 free sessions with a trainer which was not accurate. I was two sessions with a life coach which I didn't really need but still helpful to some people. Also sometimes around the cold months they have the heat turned up too high and since the walking track is upstairs next to the heat ducts, it can get a bit unbearable to those who are sensitive to it. Overall though, our choice for working out and so far the best location we found yet if Ft Wayne.

Place is in good shape and kept clean, the staff is very nice. However the problem is the place is always busy in the weight room area with most of the equipment being used at all times. If they could add a few more machines or bench presses I would give 4 stars.
