Parkview Family YMCA

About

Nonprofit organization offering a fitness center, pool, and child care, plus programs that promote Christian principles.

The indoor aquatic center at Parkview Family YMCA features two pools. The 6-lane lap pool is typically maintained at a comfortable temperature between 81-83°F, while the warm-water recreation pool is usually kept warmer, ranging from 86-88°F.

What are people saying (AI review summary)? The reviews overwhelmingly praise the YMCA, particularly the Parkview location, as an outstanding facility with exceptional staff and a welcoming atmosphere. Reviewers consistently highlight the cleanliness, well-maintained amenities (including a workout area, indoor track, and impressive pool facilities with a hot tub, steam room, and sauna, plus an outdoor splash pad), and a wide range of programs for all ages. Staff are described as kind, helpful, busy, and dedicated, fostering an environment of "zero intimidation" and non-judgmental interactions among members. Specific programs like the MOVE summer camp receive high marks for providing "best summers" with fun outings and rewarding volunteering, though a "no phones" rule was noted. Fitness classes, such as Turbokick with instructor Jen, are lauded for making exercise enjoyable. Many consider it the nicest YMCA building in Fort Wayne, offering great value compared to for-profit gyms, and commend the organization for its supportive and inclusive service.

I went to the MOVE camp here through the summers of 2023-2025, and I had the best summers of my life at this place. The counselors have always been nice. We would go to places like the mall, courthouse, Tincaps, north side pool, and Chain o’ Lakes. We sometimes had to do hard volunteering work, but we were always rewarded with a fun trip. The only rule that most struggle to follow was no phones during camp hours, but sometimes we had a few breaks, and I played Dress to Impress with my friends.

This is one of my favorite Y’s. They have a nice workout area with machines or free weights. There’s also an indoor walking track. The pool are is my fave. The pool is nice, the hot tub is great and the steam room and sauna hit the spot. They also have an outdoor splash pad. They offer so many programs from kids to seniors. Everyone is nice and helpful and so are the other members.

I love the Parkview YMCA! They have the best employees. The facility is ALWAYS clean. All the employees are kind and keep themselves busy, you never see them being lazy and not doing their job. I love that there is zero intimidation and the crowd of people, young and old are always kind, zero judgements. It’s an atmosphere that is unmatched. Any other gyms I have tried, everything is broken. You can’t find an employee to help anywhere. The bathrooms are gross and I have always felt judged by random strangers. You never have that here.

Great organization, with great staff and great amenities. Also this is nicest YMCA building in Fort Wayne in my opinion. A small example of good service was how they encouraged one of my friends with disabilities on the rock wall the higher he got up there. It was a very heart warming moment. Regardless of how you cut it, I would say if you need a gym, a nonprofit like the Y is a better way to spend your money than a for profit.

Turbokick instructor Jen is so much fun I don’t think of the heart pounding exercise as “work.” I drive 35 minutes for that class even though there is another Y five minutes from my house. So Fun! Give that gal a raise!
