Great steam bath
My daughter loves going to child watch-she is always so happy to make a craft and color a picture so she can show me her hard work when I pick her up. The staff are always kind.
We love it. Feel suggestions:
1 - Adult Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu classes for beginners. Focused on adults. There are many BJJ academies in Fort Wayne so it is possible to get a qualified instructor ‘locally’.
2 - Parents’ Night Out like some other YMCAs do nationwide.
I like having it all in one place-10 minutes from my home 🏡
Recumbent Bikes and walking laps.
The Jackson Y has a very friendly staff. The facility is always clean. They offer a wide range of classes that it all ages and all levels of fitness. The only downside is the classroom size. I wish they were bigger to accommodate the number of people wanting to take an exercise class.
I love the Sports Director. He engages with all the kids and he enjoys seeing them have a good time.
The Y is close to home. I have made friends in the Silver Sneakers class.
I like how its pretty judgement free! Just started working out so there are times I dont know what im doing! But I am trying to get there!

I really like your indoor track. I plan to use it this Winter. Also, you have a nice selection of many exercise machines to choose from.
I like the environment. I am retired and thought of applying there for a few hours a week.
I'm in Silver Sneakers and we have a wonderful instructor who makes everyone feel welcomed. We work hard but we have a fun time also. We're getting healthier while having fun.

Balance and stability class
I like the Y when everything works, like the hottub.
The workouts whether it's dumbells or machines. I love the hot tub after a workout to relax my muscles.
It helps to keep me more limber and working on firming up.

Friendly, helpful, caring group of people on the staff everyone is willing to help and answer any questions. That’s very important to me. I love going to the Y.
