Member Testimonials
The staff is friendly and very helpful. I joined primarily to be able to participate in the water aerobics. The workout equipment is very good and I enjoy using several of them. Overall really nice facility.👍
Love the senior exercise classes.
The VERY friendly atmosphere!
Good Silver Sneakers classes and aquatics classes with excellent teachers. Nice to have fellowship with other seniors. Lots of smiling faces among employees
Kate Black is an exceptional teacher for water exercises. She is always showing us and encouraging us to make adjustments to the exercises if we need to do so. The staff at the front desk have always been so kind and friendly. I live minutes away from Jorgensen but travel to downtown for my classes.
equipment and staff
I've been going to the JRL YMCA 3 to 5 days a week for about the last year and a half. The staff is always very friendly and helpful. I lift weights, walk the track, and participate in the Bang the Drum class. I LOVE the Bang the Drum instructor - Shauna. I'm 64, retired, and a cancer survivor. I didn't exercise for many years. 30+ years ago I was a fitness instructor and certainly have always understood the benefits of exercise. I just let life and chronic pain get in the way for many years.
I can't begin to express how much making a commitment to going to JRL has changed my life.
I've lost about 35 lbs. and am stronger than I've been in MANY years. It's slow and steady and worth it! Working out has also helped my mental health and the things we face with aging. I try to encourage everyone I see when I'm there - especially seniors like me or people who haven't worked out for many years. Results don't happen overnight. However, they do happen through commitment and consistency. I can now keep up with my grandkids and no longer need help off the couch! If I can encourage one person to keep pushing on, it makes my day!!
Everyone is so friendly! Love the pools.
Dawn is an excellent & fun instructor for our exercise class !
Staff are very friendly and helpful. Building and grounds are always clean.I am very happy being a member here.
Quality and cleanliness of the facility and equipment. Professionalism and support of staff. Would appreciate staff doing a better job of monitoring people who ignore signs and are sitting on equipment for extended periods using social media and/or texting.
Lots of choices for group exercise
The front staff are always welcoming and friendly. Whenever I ask for help, they respond quickly. I love the 8:00 water aerobics class. Val, the current teacher is awesome. If someone
in the class has an issue, she will find an excercise to help with it. The 9:15 Fitness RX class is great too. Wednesday is the first I had been to it since my knee surgery and it went great. The instructor was wonderful; very enthusiastic and encouraging. I definitely will be returning. I have also tried the 10:00 one and that is good too, but I like to be done early in the morning. That is one of the good thing about the Y. There is something to do there no matter when you want to work out. I would and do recommend it to others. Thank you for being there for me.
Employees are friendly & helpful, workout areas are kept clean & sanitary, lots of equipment to choose from.
A+
My kids love to go, makes it easy to get them moving when they always have fun!
If any of these directors ever needed a kidney I’d be the first in line to give them one of mine
Renaissance Y is always clean and orderly. They maintain some discipline such that under age kids aren't running through the weight area. Staff are friendly. The weight room has floor to ceiling windows for maximum light while you work out - great.
Everyone is so kind and helpful I walk with a walker so sometimes I need assistance and there's always somebody's staff or clients to help me I really appreciate it
I think your Y is second best Y in the whole Fort Wayne In. Metropolitan area, you probably thinking who's the best the answer is all the rest of them. Just kidding you guys are best. Thank You.
I love coming to the y. I feel stronger and healthier.
Great variety of equipment, friendly staff, clean facilities.
Close by. Clean. Nice people.
Friendly staff and helpful when needed.
I love the pool and the exercise classes for older adults. This location is 5 minutes from home and so convenient. I am going to see what other things I can do as there is so much to offer. I am amazed by how many people use this facility!!
Everyone is pleasant and helpful at the front desk, workout room and the pool! Keep up the good work!
The staff is great. They are warm and inclusive. They stop what they are doing to help you.
The E-gym is great as well as the cardio machines.
I love having the pools in addition to the weight room and track.
Great instructors! A variety of classes offered.
Line dancing with Barb was a blast! We danced., laughed, and had our heart rates up!
