Member Testimonials
The Y is easy to get to and I feel welcomed each time I enter. There are also a lot of classes to choose from.
The whole staff is amazing! They work so hard and always greet you with a smile!
Brendan, Dorthy, and Chris are so kind, and it makes my day seeing them at the front stand!
Janel has started some great new programs for the community! And you can tell she puts her all into her work!
We don't go to childwatch as much, but I can tell you that the staff there is as good as it gets! It feels good that I can totally trust them with my kids.
The layout of the gym is wonderful! And the community there is even better! It is truly my home away from home!
I just like the well equipped facility with machines that work smoothly and efficiently. I also like the multiple locations of YMCAs in Fort Wayne. I live between the Parkview Y and the Jackson Lehman Y. Very convenient depending on my day's plans. Thanks for your care of the facilities.
Both me and my son like the Parkview YMCA mostly for the walking track, and the sauna, the pool, and the hot tub. Both of us come to the Parkview YMCA on Fridays.
We also utilize the Columbia City YMCA. I really like their exercise machines (Intela-stride, Life Fitness Ab-Crunch, Life Fitness row machine, Life fitness Calf Extension, Life Fitness Hip Abduction/Hip Adduction, Life fitness Leg Press).
One thing I would love to see is the Columbia City YMCA Improved adding a hot tub, and improving the upstairs track.
I was invited into a Zumba (?) class by a very congenial instructor and I enjoyed the experience!

The community of Central Branch YMCA makes exercise something to look forward to.
All the employees there are so very friendly and patient and informative on the things that you need to have done and answer all your questions, they even showed me how to operate the machines that I was going to be using, very patiently. I like going there because it is such a friendly place and I always feel good once I go there and work out.

The people are friendly, the facility is nice & clean, and the membership is free for silver sneakers 👟.
Cherrick is always smiling and so kind to everyone. Im happy any visit I run into him.
I feel that the genuine interactions the membership staff have with members are so much more impactful than a standard welcome and should be celebrated.
The updates to the wellness center last year have been a nice addition. It’s a busy place, but it’s always manageable.
Very nice Y with very friendly, helpful staff. I always enjoy my time there!
