Member Testimonials
Great staff; very helpful. Good sense of community at this location.
Everyone is very kind and helpful.
The staff are very friendly and helpful. The only drawback is the pool and the women's dressing room. The pool is a victim of age and the dressing room should address slippery floors.
That said, it takes money. Here in Fort Wayne, the same charitable organizations are repeatedly asked for money. I suggest we look at someone like the former Mrs. Besos, (I apologize because I can't remember her actual name), or other wealthy philanthropists who are looking for worthy causes. Do we have an experienced grant writer? Sometimes that can go far in getting access to funding. By and large this 'Y' does an incredible job addressing the recreational needs of a broad group of people.
The people are friendly.
Great staff, clean place!
Everything - the people, the staff, the location and the Health Center.
The class, the instructor and the diversity.
The front desk is always friendly, instructors care about your participation in their classes. My wife & I have made new friends in the classes. The YMCA gives back to the community.
Great people!!!
conveniently located and has everything i need
I appreciate the location, that its never too busy when I go, and that every space is a useful space. I don't know how they fit all that they offer into that space downtown, whether raquetball, the track, multiple mats to workout on, machines, a free weight room, a pool, ball courts. Like what?! That's a lot, and it's not even all of it.
Staff is super friendly and facility is clean. I have enjoyed my experience so far.
Great People, both members and staff!
At both Central Branch & Skyline Branch, Y members are greeted as they come and go ;-)
I love the staff at the Central Y! We do swim lessons every winter, and Noah has become an honorary family member over the years. We love the community we get from being Y members!
Friendly staff, clean facilities.

Sorry for the delay in responding. I always enjoy my time at the Central Branch - there's something about it that feels like home to me. I know it's not the fanciest but it's the best to me.

Clean, friendly staff, diverse, great equipment
The experience I get at the central YMCA is like no other y. You are greeted like a rockstar from the amazing front desk staff, and working out for me is more than the physical aspect. If I’m not there, someone wants to know why. It is truly a family. The culture is amazing!
Quite, clean great view. Overall relaxing feels like home.
I like the location of this Y since I live downtown. The pool size is great and I really enjoy the water aerobics classes.
Classes are good. Staff is always friendly and works to make the Y as good as it can possibly be. Very clean.
A lot of options to get your body back in shape or feel better about yourself
I appreciate the strong sense of community and belonging at the Central Branch. The Y provides a welcoming environment where people of all backgrounds can come together to focus on health, wellness, and personal growth. The staff is friendly and supportive, always ready to help members reach their goals. I also enjoy the variety of programs offered, from group fitness classes to wellness initiatives, which make it easy to stay active and engaged. The Y isn’t just a gym—it’s a place that fosters connections, encourages personal development, and makes a lasting impact on the community!
