Fishers YMCA

It’s become on of my favorite go-​to places during the week. Yes, having a membership to a gym is obviously a financial commitment, but it’s a worthwhile one when you find the right gym. The thing that has stood out the most is that a few of their staff have gone above and beyond on helping me work in my PT routines with the equipment — adjusting it and helping me use it correctly. Believe me, that’s a huge help when you’re not a regular weight machine user.
The equipment itself is always clean and I see most patrons cleaning up after themselves each and every time they leave a station.
The best part about this location is that it’s literally right down the road from where I work. Um, perfect. Nothing but good things to say about the Fishers YMCA.

I love our YMCA. lots of classes to take and child care available. Indoor and outdoor pools.
The only reason I gave it 4 stars is because they don’t offer afternoon classes for those who exercise on their lunch breaks.

Friendly staff, plenty of equipment, variety of programs and classes for all fitness types and levels… and an outdoor water park! YAY!
This is a great facility that has so much to offer, but that is also why it gets 4 stars instead of 5; there comes a point when a facility begins to outgrow itself. Sometimes there are treadmill classes that interfere with individuals being able to just hop on machines, or tween classes where the staff have trouble corralling the «students» in the fitness equipment area, or there are just simply SO MANY people in the parking lot you can’t even get in (only happened a couple times). However, most of the time it’s GREAT, the staff are helpful, facilities immaculate, and equipment up to par.
I have taken the cycling classes, zumba classes, and a hip-​hop class. Other than my husband being injured when the bike broke off into his ankle (lawsuit settled), the classes offered fun and well-​prepared instructors. The zumba and hip-​hop were UBER FUN and the fit-​chic in the front (unlike in other gyms) didn’t leave you behind or make you feel like an idiot when you didn’t keep up like a New York dancer or when you had to stop because you haven’t left your couch in months. The classes are popular though, some more than others, so you may have to get to some early; and the cycle classes require signing up.
My husband uses the free-​weights more than I do and most of the time getting the bench isn’t an issue, just beware that during peak hours it may be harder to get on a bench or on a treadmill. The treadmills and most equipment have 30 min limits with sign-​up sheets, but a lot of people don’t bother with them. During busy times you’d be smart to do so because they have been known to ask people to get off in order for people who’ve signed up to get on. Elipticals near the physical therapy area don’t have sign-​up sheets and are first-​come-​first-​serve.
They do have Wifi, have found that the Y Wifi works on the main area, but can never get streaming to work so it’s pretty pointless; however, on the physical therapy side you can access the St. Vincent Wifi and stream Netflix pretty consistently, which is what I do.
Lastly, all the staff is helpful, but, I have to put in a word for one of the staffers specifically, Rita. She sometimes gets a bad rap for being a bit stern, and, yes, she is strictly by the book (took us a couple years to earn her warm welcome). But, she is a gem and I look forward to seeing her every time now. By-​the-​book Rita earns 5 stars from me!

I’ve been a member for awhile now, it meets every need imaginable. Compare it to Lifetime or LA fitness, it’s better priced, more activities, Christian friendly. They’ve got locks free of use, towels, pools, spin classes, personal training, kid zones. I don’t think I’d work out anywhere else, I’m proud to be a member. Thank you for everything and providing a safe place for our family.

Very friendly staff. 2 hours of free child care with family membership. Lots of family activities.

I’ve been a member about two weeks now and have been loving most things about it.
They have a ton of fun group exercise classes, ranging from the typical (step aerobics, cardio boot camp) to some interesting ones (hip hop zumba, piloxing – a combo of pilates and boxing). There’s a pretty large-​size room filled with cardio equipment, weight machines, and free weights. Unfortunately, their Fitlinxx tracking system is being eliminated at the end of the year, so if you want a way to keep track of what you’re lifting, you’re on your own.
There’s a Subway inside the Y where you can grab lunch or dinner before heading out, and you don’t need to have your children as members in order to use the Child Watch.
All the single ladies: this isn’t the gym to hit if you want to scope out hot single guys — so far, everyone I’ve seen appears to be married. #toobadsosad

This is a fantastic YMCA location.
We are members and have a one year old daughter. The child care here is just so fantastic to have available. You can leave your child with the staff for up to two hours. This is longer than we ever have, but it’s great to be able to get in a full fitness class and not feel rushed.
The staff is supportive and friendly. We haven’t had any negative interactions and really feel that the people here are involved because they value the mission of the YMCA.
The facility has a large indoor pool, another large indoor splash pool, an outdoors pool and splash park. It has a cycling room, and a very large indoor gym area. Of course it has a weight room. There’s also an indoor play place that’s great for waiting for your significant other with the baby. Lastly, there’s a Subway indoors! We don’t typically eat at Subway, but I have to say that after a day of work and a lin workout, sometimes it’s a nice option to be able to sit with my wife and baby and have a quick sandwich to save time cooking.
I highly recommend this Y.
Last tip! If you are pressed financially, make sure to check and see if you are eligible for financial aid. Be prepared to bring your pay stub.

I absolutely adore the Fishers YMCA! Always incredibly clean, and the staff is super friendly.
They have enough equipment that I’ve never had to do the stare off while waiting for weights or a treadmill, and we all know how awkward the stare off can be.
Overall a great place with an awesome variety of classes.
