Friendly staff
Lots of equipment
As a retiree I’d like more afternoon exercise classes. I can sleep in nowadays and have extended coffee time before getting moving.
I’d also like to attend more art/craft classes that are at a cheaper cost, more like $5 range! No income anymore. Could see if the FW Art group, retired art teachers, could lead classes at a real low cost each month. Michaels craft store staff come in to offer a craft & supplies?
Easily accessible.
Convenient location and parking. Great staff. Clean facilities and great view.
The pools, steam room, sauna, cardio machines, and walking track are awesome. Front desk staff is always friendly.
I go to the Y on a regular basis. I find the Y people helpful and willing to teach me on equipment that I don't understand. I also feel that the other people using the Y facility are courteous and not difficult in any way. All in all a good experience.
I enjoy the variety of exercise equipment, the track and the great classes especially for older adults.

Great staff clean gym
Friendly helpful staff. Clean comfortable facility
I like using the track to walk and the treadmill. I would like to see something done with the track. It is so congested. This week two people were stopped on the corner of the track having a conversation. Everyone walking in that lane had to stop and go around them. A lady had a double stroller and was walking and a few elderly people barely moving on the track. All while people were running in the outside lane. It was accident looking for a place to happen. It was very dangerous. This is becoming a reoccurring problem. Please look at ways to help this problem.
Upon entering the building we were greeted with a smile and were given answers to our questions.
Signing up was very easy and all employees very helpful.
A place for all ages to feel comfortable and welcome. Thank You.

Feels friendly and safe
We love the 24 hour access at Jackson!
Obviously Jorgensen is a 10/10! However I definitely didn't go to Jorgensen recently, I wonder if one of the other 24 hour branches had the location set incorrectly for that check in.... Hi Amanda and Susan! Have a wonderful Monday and or Tuesday depending on when you see this!
The staff are always friendly and this location is close to home. It gives a variety of outlets for my clients and my family to exert energy in the cold winter months. The sauna and other amenities have been my saving grace for mental health when I could not be outside to be active in the sun.
I like the Parkview YMCA very much. However there is still a problem with younger people using weight machines for long periods of time (5 to10 minutes) because they and sometimes their buddies, are talking, texting or alternating "sets" together. I know you put up written notices on every machine about this but it doesn't seem to be working. Maybe larger print and bolder red print would work. I and some other friends have kindly asked the user(s) if we could break in and use a weight machine. Almost every time they refuse. Very frustrating! If some of the YMCA staff can intervene or mention over the loud speaker occasionally to "Please be respectful of other Y members to refrain from using individual weight machines for long periods of time". Another thing I have noticed is some machines are broken down for weeks at a time. Thank goodness there are other similar machines that we can go to but it breaks up your weight lifting routine to have to go to other areas of the Y.
A fantastic facility with a sense of community next to none.m
My favorite Y in Fort Wayne, specifically for the child watch. My daughter loves coming here and I appreciate all of the staff.
So many good things about the Y.
The parking lot is almost always in good shape with all of the snow we have had this year.
I have gotten in the best physical shape I have ever been. I have a great trainer who I see twice a month. I lift free weights 3 times a week. I'm treated well by my fellow lifters who are generally much younger than me. I love it! I love walking the track in this bad weather. Everyone is so nice.
My husband has Alzheimer's and I bring him nearly daily to walk around the track also.
The pool water is so warm and therapeutic. Staff in the lobby are always friendly and attentive.
Great facility and equipment for downtown Fort Wayne. Staff is always very welcoming!
Close to home
