The class is fun and the instructor is friendly and works with you if you are unable to do it.
The mixture of free weights with weight machines.
I enjoy using the gym to lift weights and to walk on the treadmill. Each time I come I am able to do both in a reasonable time frame. Locker rooms are good. Also the non lap pool is good, and I use it occasionally. Winters are good, I can use the facilities without facing the weather.
One issue I had. When I joined the YMCA, I was told someone would call me and show me the gym and all facilities the Y had to offer in more detail that my first visit joining. Also I was told someone would be there to show me how to use any machines I did not know how to use. That did not happen.
When I inquired a few times, even called and left a message, I was never contacted. It would have been. nice to have a detailed tour of the entire facility. When deciding to join the Y, I had a 5 minute tour showing me generally different areas. And mentioning classes, events, etc.
One occasion, I brought a guest and did not realize there were two women's locker rooms. My guest was my grandchild, and a very nice lady said the guest or young person locker room was in another area. She said the locker room off the main hall was for over 18 year olds. She kindly showed me, and answered some of my questions at that time.
I enjoy my time at the Y I got most of my information from my PT person at IU, not the Y. I also got information from walking on the treadmill in the gym, and listening to the cardiac trainer person talking to his group.
I like the Y, the convenience, and the ability to work out on my own schedule. I did see one of the trainers and asked her to show me one of the machines for my needs. She was very kind and did. I also have learned from other members.
I'm not cleared by PT to participate yet, but I love that you have body pump and can't wait to get back to it. It's a huge reason I joined

Aquatics team is top notch. Excellent leadership, engaging lifeguards, accessible hours. Top notch.
Kids areas are very good. Morning front desk people are wonderful. Charity, Emily, Debbie all really nice personalities to make you fell welcome. Don is regularly visible and always smiling and kind.
Fitness area facilities are also very nice. Seeing the team in action for the Gobble Gallop was great. A really well-done event.
A few other areas maybe to improve. No walking track inside. Can’t be helped but not ideal. Why did it take a month to fix the hallway water fountain? The word of the month on the men’s locker room has been Joy for a year. I’m all about Joy but if you are going to have those things, print off 12, put them in a folder, and someone be in charge of rotating them on the first of each month.
And lastly, I’ve worked out in the fitness area for about 9 months now. And 1 time, the woman that was dressed as a witch on Halloween, someone said hello or welcome or good morning. If the trainers are ambassadors for the area, a little engagement would not hurt. See someone needing a spot, jump in. See someone new looking around, welcome them. An “I’m new here” orientation of the space would take 5 minutes and may lead to more training opportunities. Or keep going the way things are with no engagement and the younger male trainers grouping around the attractive females working out. It’s not hurting anyone or anything, but opportunities are lost.
Overall great facility. Regularly share with others how excellent it is.
Friendly staff, clean facilities, and convenient location.
