The space is quite enough and there is no enough machines. Sometimes you need to wait and look around for the equipments you looking for. The place is clean and neat. The pool is great and warm. But there’s no hot tub.. the staff are really helpful. Would be awesome if there was indoor soccer and volleyball fields.

Great facility and great staff! There are a couple weight machines that I'd like to see added, but the Hammer Strength stuff they do have is awesome! The gym, track, and pool are always kept in great shape. The staff has always been friendly.

Family oriented, simple layout, friendly staff. I've been coming to this gym for years. It's super popular anymore. They definitely need to expand their building / free weight area. My kids love the classes offered, as well as the staff and the community altogether is priceless.

The YMCA has a good gym/track, nice employees, good swimming pool, and they have events you can sign up for and donations for good causes. They also have a daycare (Although I haven't even been inside of the daycare or used it'd services so I have no idea what it's like).

I love the physical therapy team here. They are always welcoming and present to help. There are a few front desk members that are the same. Most of them don't even speak no greeting at all. A few times I've walked in and they turned and either walked away or just turned around to avoid me.

When they first open back up I was kind of skeptical how about how they were going to do the sanitation in Social distance but after going for 2 weeks now I'm extremely satisfied in the sanitation in the social distance part everyone that goes into the weight room or cardio room they have you get your own sanitation bottle. The atmosphere is always Pleasant

Nice staff but is pretty low energy people that are there getting fit. Great for above 60 yr old crowd or just community people living nearby.

Jackson R. Lehman is one of our favorite YMCA's in Fort Wayne. They have an indoor splash pad, lap lanes, and warm water therapy pool. Their life guards are friendly and kind while still enforcing the rules. I bring my son and we always have the most incredible time. We are so grateful for their pool. Their staff is knowledgeable and friendly as well. If this review is helpful to you, would please please click on the thumbs up to like it please?Thank you Jackson R. Lehman YMCA!!

Always enjoy going here. The workout machines are very close quarters--which I mention not necessarily because of covid, but because it makes working out a tad awkward--but the view is amazing while walking or jogging on the treadmills and the staff is always super friendly.

It’s a nice place but I joined for the lap pool. If you are an adult working a 9-5 the times you can swim are very limited. After 5 they have swim teams and adult water classes and sometimes the one lap lane is actually open. I would often call in and check before I went to see if there was an available lap lane only to be told on arrival by a rather cranky lady. Of course the lap lanes are closed! Why didn’t you check the schedule. Basically if your are going with the intent of using the pool hopefully you don’t work days alr just want to do “aqua Zumba”.
