Love the Y. Great facilities and people, but they need to stay open later on the weekend.

Beautiful facility, wonderful staff, and a great place to work on your health and wellness!

I joined this YMCA about a year ago. It has an indoor walking/running track and all of the other health club fitness machines that you would expect in an upscale club. They have a pool and steam room. There are lockers to secure your personal items while you are working out. This is a very great location in an up and coming section of downtown Indy. I get a Veterans rate so it is very affordable and well worth the money to belong.

Beautiful Y in a great downtown location!! The lap pool has a 4 dedicated lanes open all the time (double check but that was my experience). Highly recommend this location. The parking lot is closed and the public has to pay, but members (and away members like me) can get a validation pass.

Love the y but I was leaving and I put my colts jersey on because the colts were playing and I got charged $20 to leave. Will be canceling my membership.

Nice spot but the sauna always is closed or not working.

The only time I visited was to ball. I threw my buddy a lob pass and a guy backpedaling to defend it blew out his knee.

Awesome atmosphere with a young feel to it. The free-weight area is lacking however, as they need more equipment and space for the after-work crowd. The pool area is nice and the locker rooms are clean. Not a bad gym by any means, could just use some more free weights and space.

Pretty nice place to work out and spend time together with the spouse.

Weights section is so small and crowded and it's always a struggle to get the equipment I need. I tend to plan my day around when the gym is least busy, which is a huge inconvenience.

I'd like to edit my review because I've since become a lot more comfortable in the gym. The facilities are nice and clean. The locker rooms and showers are comfortable and modern(there's a tampon machine but you still have to pay a quarter even after the pricey membership fee... WHAT?!) I feel the weights section is evolving to better serve needs. However there are still only two squat racks and they're constantly in use. The cables are pretty limited as well. I feel this is deeply problematic as the demand is definitely there. It's still usually over crowded. I in general just wish it was bigger.

My review primarily is focused on the Play & Learn program (child care). I never have had a problem, never a concern with safety or cleanliness, always a smile when greated, and my child enjoys the interactions. I especially want to review Ms. Kelsey who works at the Play & Learn (also in Kids Night Out) who gives each child individual attention and makes all kids feel welcome and safe! 5 stars for her dedication and patience.

Beautiful space with TONS of accommodations. Too bad they have a poorly staffed daycare and staff that are just hateful and seem to despise their jobs....which shows in their interactions with guests. Plus...everytime I go in it's soo packed that you can't even workout...you just walk around and hope a machine opens which makes it hard to focus on specific area.

No time to ever play basketball always volleyball

Friendly competent staff! Nice modern facility.

While I find the staff friendly and the locker rooms roomy enough I am very disappointed with the swimming pools. The hot tub and sauna are nice, but the lap pool is tiny compared to other YMCA's around the city. Four lap lanes are not enough for the only YMCA with a pool in the downtown area. It is rare that the lanes are not crowded. To top it off, lately they have been closing lanes for private swim lessons during peak swimming hours (5 am to 7 am). That is unacceptable in a pool that only has 4 lanes to begin with. So if you like to shoot hoops (three gymnasiums) this is the Y for you. If you swim, maybe go to the IU Natatorium or one of the Y's outside the circle.

I attend 2-3 5am sessions a week here, 4-5 evening sessions a month (Any other night i am at my home Y in Greenwood)

Facility is nice as it should be. Obviously not designed to be a PowerHouse Gym. Has a great isolated area for what appears to be utilized for HIIT type workouts. Bunch of Cardio and lack free
weights. Like everyone else said, good luck finding parking after 6am and be prepared to have to work in with some.

Major cons:
1. BE READY IN THE MORNING. Supposed to open at 5am. Typically it a few minutes after 5 before the doors are unlocked. Then everyone has to stand and wait for the check-in computer to load up. Few times its been after 5:15 before we could get upstairs. This really sucks for the other people like myself that only have 45 min to get a lift session in before having to shower for work.

2. LOOSE THE TV OVER THE FREE WEIGHTS. Its packed enough, dont need people lounging around getting distracted and taking too long of breaks between sets.

3. Clean the 3 month old blood drops off the bench in the men's locker room. Ive dropped comment cards on this and been waiting to see. I wouldnt sit down without a towel under me. As clean as the place looks, makes you wonder how a couple blood drops the size of quarters can remain out in the open like it has.

Another layout for the crossover pulley system would be beneficial. Coming from the Baxter Y that is laid out so you could have a possibility of 8 isolated cables, 4 wide grip or 4 narrow grip to a layout that only offers 5 isolated cables, 1 wide grip combo or 1 narrow grip combo...

Nice facilities and a lot of group sessions offered, but yikes, they have some serious overcrowding problems. There is no parking at times (7am - 9am and 4pm - 8pm) and even the overflow lots fill up. I didn't even bother trying to go in when it was like that. On the rare occasion I found parking it was still very crowded inside. Spin classes often filled up 30+ minutes before they started. Ended up cancelling my membership and enrolling at another gym, this just isn't worth the hassle. Might be good for someone who works weird hours and can get in at non-peak times (if such a time exists). This place is so busy I feel like another location is needed downtown.

Clean environment, great facility, helpful and friendly staff. Avoid peak hours as it gets hectic.

October 20, 2017 08:22

I love the atmosphere customer service is great, they have a lot of different programs you can get involved in.

It's a nice, clean gym with all the amenities of a club. Even in the evening you find the equipment you need and get a solid workout it. I've taken two yoga classes there and both instructors were great, although one was late to class. The locker rooms and showers are always clean and they provide towels for those who do not like to carry in their own.
