Member Testimonials
We love the location and the unique character of the Y inside the Athenaeum Building.
The Staff is so friendly, and you (the Y) have something for everyone.
Friendly staff, flexible program times
Good
I don’t participate in Y programs or activities. It is the facilities and staff that attract me.
Terry Smalls classes are fun and challenging!
Exercise that is close by, equipment, personal trainers, and instructors (with varying success for alignment of likes and needs). A pace for neighborly social contacts.
Programs people and cleanliness
Silver Sneakers. I love the 1:00 pm time. It really gets me going
I just go for to workout. I really like the staff.
Good staff with good information and very helpful
Living downtown, I appreciate having a place to workout that is within walking distance. Staff is always friendly and they work hard to find qualified instructors.
Gym is always clean, welcoming, and in off hours quite quiet, which makes things nice for me ;-)
I just use the aerobic & resistance equipment.
I actually started my YMCA membership at the Ransburg YMCA and go to that location due to close proximity to my home. I really enjoy it. My husband and I are able to workout together, with the weight machines, cardio, and free weights, while my children are able to play and be cared for at the Play and Learn center. This really helps parents/guardians, when trying to figure out the logistics side and not have to worry about locating a babysitter every time. It would be far more difficult to go regularly if there was not a Play and Learn option. Elena my daughter is also starting Ballet in March, and I love the different cardio classes, like spinning and dance classes. I plan on making an appointment with a trainer and getting set up on the E Gym as well. I am also going to be looking into signing up the kids for swimming classes as well.
The changes at the Y at the Atheneum are fabulous! I love the new video screen, the music is always fabulous- I don’t even bother with earbuds anymore, and I LOVE our new garage!!
equipment and program
I love the community feeling. The welcoming staff. I feel comfortable working out in a safe environment.
I like the friendly staff, the available equipment, and in the past I have had trainers that were qualified and interested in my personal health and goals.
Inclusive
I like the comradery and friendliness. Programs have changed since Blane retired but will hopefully come together.
I love the atmosphere, the staff is great and they have all the workout equipment I need
The YMCA in Indianapolis always has good programming and site locations.
The staff are so friendly and helpful.
Weight room
The Y is always so clean and the people who work there are genuine people.
I really appreciate that the Athenaeum branch has the full range of exercise equipment and a sauna. My one comment is that it would be nice if you had more than one arm-and-leg elliptical machine.
