If any of these directors ever needed a kidney I’d be the first in line to give them one of mine
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.
Everyone is real polite and helpful
The staff is very friendly.
Great way for the kids to learn the basics of the game and teamwork.
Always clean and well attended
Nice facility and friendly staff!
friendly staff
I was greeted by Bridget with a smile and a quick check in🇺🇸🇺🇸 the facility was clean and well equipped, had a great workout an out the door I went🇺🇸🇺🇸 membership satisfaction at best🇺🇸🇺🇸
Variety of great experiences for my kid. She is always excited to go to camp!
I have good experience with the y. My only complaint is when I go to use the pool or especially the gym on days when school is out I cannot because the camp kids or day care kids or after school kids or whatever they are called are all using those facilities and I’ve been told that those places are not available. Pay money to use those facilities and should not be told I have grandchildren that are out of school too and I should be able to use those facilities when I want to too
Our kiddo loves day camp! We appreciate the friendly faces and overall care of our child.
My daughter is having a great time at camp. Lots of activities and field trips. Great counselors as well.
The "Y" is a clean and well lit facility. They have small towels and water bottles to clean the exercise machines when you are finished with them. If you have questions you can ask any of the employees and they will answer you as needed.
It has been great for our daughter. This is her 5th year
The counselors are attentive and accommodating, the field trips are great, and I like that the challenge the older kids to serve as leaders and organize activities for the younger kids.
Love the atmosphere at the Y. Lots of friendly people and loads of encouragement. Mary and Penny are the best.
The Whitley Y was clean, staff and guests were friendly and helpful! Great experience!
Love the gym community and how eveyrthing is kept together nicely
Love that kids are very active physically and spend most of the time outdoors. Love that they do field trips weekly. My kids love their camp counselors too! Only downside I've noticed this year is LITs are allowed to have electronics and I wish they did not. My LIT does not have electronics for a reason, but she's getting a lot of exposure to other kids' electronics when I would much rather she be playing! I do like that LITs are given a little more freedom in other areas though.
Friendly, helpful staff. Nice location.
Lori has created so many fun activities to keep the kids having fun, creating friends and making memories all while being safe. Thank you so much for all you do!
My kids enjoy the y camp. We have even extended our weeks at camp since they enjoy it so much. As long as middle school kids have limited phone time I am good which they have really focused on this year.
The staff is so up on every child , they are very aware of what is going around each child and make sure they are safe. The Y care is amazing and has been a great expirence for our two grandchildren. They have learned so much and and enjoy everyday they get to go to the Y. Thank you Lori Smith of Whitley County for make our YMCA amazing child watch for Whitley County children.
The kids do different activities every day and a bonus is my kids are wore out every day when I pick them up!! Resulting in sleeping every night and not getting up throughout the night!
The friends they make are also a bonus
We love the summer day camp program
Great Counselors and program!
Everything
I really have several feelings about the Columbia City YMCA most of which is good. The indoor walk track is quite difficult to walk on because it tilts downward which make it a bit difficult.
Also the pool area really needs updated to have a hot tub. I greatly helps to relax the muscles after a good workout.
Now I love to go workout there because I don't feel like I am being stared at. The machines I use works the muscles I need to work on the most. I have progressed greatly on my weight loss journey.
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.
