I love the Precor machines for tracking your workouts and progress. I have been frequenting this Y for the last few months. The staff is always friendly and helpful. Very nice facilities.

Brand new facility. Friendly environment. Not too busy during the weekdays. They *don't* have an outdoor water park or a hot tub @ this location. They *do* have a lap pool, a warm kids pool, a sauna & a steam rm. Nice variety of workout equipment. Fyi: the pool changing rm floors are always wet. In conclusion, this place is clean & convenient.

The staff was very nice and helped us to get signed in as visitors under my mother-in-law's name. We were visiting from out of state and go the Y at home all the time. We were very pleased with the equipment, gym and bathrooms. Everything was nice and clean and although they were busy, it wasn't too crowded. We wish our Y at home had some of the newer features this location had!

This is a great place for families to work out or just hang out in the pool. They have daycare for two hours maxuim. That gives parents time for a good workout. They have two pools, one for swimming and the other one is a split pool for the young ones and the other is great for beginner swimmers. If you're military ask for the yearly discount on fees.

Awesome place to work out. I have the family membership and it's the greatest. They have child care for me to drop my 3y/o off at. She loves it! When not working out, we're cooling off in the pool

We love the Y! Our daughter has been taking swimming lessons since they opened at this new location and she’s learned and grown so much! We’ve loved each and every one of her instructors, feel comfortable leaving her at the child care, love the workout machines and the track upstairs. I actually prefer that there not be a hot tub because it would be a constant battle with our toddler, and love the smaller size- she can run in front of me and never get too far or out of sight. Family friendly, friendly staff, lots of classes and tons of activities!

I am very picky about where I exercise. This is the cleanest and modern exercise facility that I have been too. There are lots of families and kids, but the YMCA is so big that it is never crowded. The staff is very helpful and there is a person who greets you when you come in and leave (and with a smile!). The locker rooms are clean and not run-down (as in many gym facilities). The monthly membership is about 45 dollars. It is worth it if you are committed to exercise. Also, there are lots of great classes (I recommend the Pilates and Synergy 360 classes, especially) - active and energetic instructors. Again, one of the best and definitely worth the money.

All of the greater fort Wayne YMCA locations are really nice, but this one is my favorite so far. Smaller warm pool and the large cooler pool, with a kids area in the warm pool. Steam room and dry sauna are great. It's all clean, workout equipment and indoor track are all in great shape. Staff is very friendly and helpful. Little game area with pool table and table tennis. Nice locker rooms, just absolutely nothing to complain about. Really, no matter which fort Wayne YMCA location you are close to, they are worth the cost.

Facility is nice and clean. The three down sides are: there is no hot tub, the heated pool is NOT heated and the showers/locker rooms are outside of the pool room so you shiver walking through the halls after an exhilarating swim. Not much thought went into the engineering of the pool area.

Absolutely love the new Y it's stays clean, the workout equipment is phenomenal and the staff are so helpful and great. If you don't know how to use the equipment there's people there who show you. I love the pool and steam room. I highly recommend everyone who hasn't been there to go check it out it's worth it.
