Chase Eastside Legacy Center

I love this place!
The Legacy Center’s atmosphere is very welcoming. You’re greeted when you first come in, and the staff is very knowledgeable.
They have a partnership with IUPUI’s Sports Medicine, so you have access to people who can help you figure out what types of exercise you should do, or even do health assessments with you.
They are always very clean and organized; I have been a member at other gyms before where I felt on guard and unsafe. I don’t feel that way here.
I think it’s really cool how community-​based they are, too; they have gardens and a greenhouse on site, and they frequently have community neighbors and partners utilizing their space.
They also partner with a handful of IPS schools, so a lot of the kids have their programming in there after school. Granted, it can be a little loud sometimes because of the kids and its close proximity to Tech High School, but if you go at the right time of day, you can guarantee yourself a nice quiet workout.
They are relatively inexpensive at $ 20 a month, with discounts available for seniors, students, and employees. If you are looking for a nice, quaint, and welcoming atmosphere while you work out, I’d recommend the Legacy Center.

This place is very clean and beautiful and great location plus its not overwhelming. The front desk people are very helpful and I just enjoy it alot

Affordable, friendly, and comfortable!
I have been going here since I moved to downtown Indy 1 year ago. I have lived in three different apartments since I moved but have kept my membership here. The best thing about this gym is the price by far. Second to having a gym included in the amenities provided by your apartment complex, having a local gym that doesn’t charge outrageously high is a really great find. My employer provides a membership discount at the YMCA, which is still much more than I pay for the Legacy Center.
Everyone at the Legacy Center has always been friendly and I never feel intimidated by other people that clearly know a lot more about how to use the equipment than myself. The hours are good and it’s in a good location. I will continue to use this facility as long as I live in downtown Indy!

I’m not usually the happiest person when my alarm goes off at 6:30am. I don’t really want to admit how often I shut it off and say, «maybe tomorrow???»
The point is I’m lazy. When I do muster up the energy to workout, I love being a member here. Everything I would want or need is available. Facilities are clean, staff is polite and the morning crowd is very friendly.
I’m not the most confident or knowledgable about exercise, but I’ve never been intimidated here. Other members will respect you and your space.
Membership is fair. I don’t think too much about it — you’re paying for happiness and health. Even though I moved from an apartment that was much closer, I had no intentions of canceling my membership.

I will always recommend this gym to anyone and everyone in the downtown area. $ 20/​month is an unbeatable price for all of their amenities. They also offer daily classes that are included in your membership fee. Classes include; dance, yoga, Pilates, boot camp, gardening, etc… They truly offer something for everyone. It’s not a huge gym which I enjoy because with more fancy equipment comes the crowds and I enjoy not having to wait in line to workout. Specials are available but they offer a no contract/​no commitment membership as well.

Came here for a Trade School Indy class. Was initially somewhat worried about the «near eastside» location, but once I saw it was on the Arsenal Tech campus and that there seemed to be pretty good lighting in the parking lot and security within the building, I got over it. Parking was no issue (but beware of the very pronounced speed bumps!). The campus itself is really well maintained, and the Chase Legacy Center appears to be a recent addition. Architecturally speaking, it has modern lines and large windows. There is a reception desk just inside the entrance, and the young man (God, I feel old saying that!) at the desk was very polite and helpful. There was a recreation area or lobby of sorts, and several students were quietly studying or hanging out. The classroom we were in was very clean and had state of the art technology. Overall a really good experience. I’m glad the east side residents and the Arsenal Tech students have this gem.

I’m always recommending The Legacy Center as an affordable gym for downtown residents. At only $ 20/​month and no contracts (seriously, give them a call and pause or cancel your payments anytime) it’s the most affordable gym I’ve found near downtown. I almost solely use the group fitness classes. They’re small– sometimes only three or four people in attendance– but feel more personal that way. The class schedule is always online and they offer multiple classes every day. This is a «no frills» gym so you won’t find any tanning beds, swimming pool, or even an indoor track. The weekend hours are also pretty limited, so be sure to check those out before you join. Since the building is new, everything is always clean and in good working order. This community building is also partnered with Growing Places Indy, Big Brothers Big Sisters of Central Indiana, and likely many other organizations… so it’s a place I can feel good about supporting.

Great gym and a great asset to the area. $ 20 a month, no joining fee and no contract. Definitely inexpensive compared to most downtown gyms. It has cardio machines, weight machines, free weights, a room for floor work (mats, exercise balls, etc), and a variety fitness classes. Also, the Legacy Center partners with IUPUI to have exercise science students available to do fitness assessments, workout planning, instruction on the equipment, and answering questions — all for free. There are discounted rates for students, people with low incomes, seniors. And they are a Silver Sneakers location for those Medicare beneficiaries with a Silver Sneakers plan.
The place is clean and well-​kept. There are a wide variety of folks who use the gym — older people, young people, out-​of-​shape people (like me!), and those people who may have just jumped off the cover of a fitness magazine. Everyone will find other people there who make them feel comfortable working out. Parking is free (surface lot in front of the building) with front row spots reserved for high efficiency cars and carpoolers, and there are plenty of bike racks.

We joined the Legacy Center right when it opened (almost 2 years ago — immediately after the Super Bowl was in town). It was and is a clean, pleasant place to work out (as much as that’s a possibility). Occasionally, you’ll run into a machine that’s out of order, but what gym doesn’t have that? And for $ 20/​month, great equipment and a variety of group classes, this place is a bargain. Staff is friendly and helpful, especially if you have questions about how to get started. (Or if one of the juveniles steals your husband’s earbuds. I’m not sure how he did it, but Mike got them returned to us. Thanks!)
Since I love this place so much, why not 5 stars? Two things. There are not supposed to be kids in there under 16 (I think that’s the age) unsupervised. Uh, yeah, that happens. Super annoying to be trying to be productive, and someone’s brought along 4 kids, as if the rest of the patrons are her own personal babysitting service. Second, Sunday afternoon Zumba classes. OH. EM. GEE. They do not use the group fitness classroom. They insist on using the basketball court, which would be fine, except their racket (music?) is obviously set at 189. The fact is, if it drowns out my (too loud for safety) earbuds, it’s unnecessary. I either use Sunday as a rest day, or make sure to get the heck out of there by the time that starts.
Even with these drawbacks, this is a great place to workout. I love that it’s so close to my house and it’s a great addition to the neighborhood, with community classes (not fitness-​related) and a community garden.

Nice gym and nice basketball court and facility. Decent gym if you’re in the area and have a $ 5 daily rate and $ 20 monthly rate no contract. Staff is good but told me they didn’t have a ice pack when I hurt my knee??? Gym is not huge but you can definitely get a workout in and I have not seen it busy after 5pm. Never been during day. I wish the crowd was a bit older the young «grown» kids will be the plague of this place and having repeat basketball players that would be potential members.

Great Facility

So excited about this place.
I’ve been dragging along all winter, waiting to become healthier and more fit. I thought $ 20 a month was a bit steep with my lack of motivation to exercise, but I joined last Saturday and have worked out every day this week! I can tell you this place is definitely worth the price!
I don’t know much about exercise machines, but everyone is really laid back and patient and I never feel rushed between reps. The equipment is super new and awesome, definitely better than what I expected and no weird gym smell either!
They offer little combo lockers for keys and wallets, so no need to bring a lock, unless you have larger stuff to lock up. There are IUPUI PARCS students available to help you with your goals, including complimentary body composition tests in a Bod Pod. And you can get it done as much as you want as a member!
Everyone has been super helpful and the environment is great. I normally don’t like to work out in public, but everyday in this gym motivates me to come again and again.

I needed to join a gym, this is close to my house, and their hours are compatible with almost all of my crazy work schedules (unless I’m off late, and am I really going to the gym at 10 pm?). I love the new sturdy fitness equipment, that you can have a fitness assessment done and then a customized workout program done. I love my Saturday Pilates class that I kick myself for going to, and look forward to every week. I love that eventually there will be pool access (the Tech pool is being redone) and daycare. I also love that there are big lockers, medium lockers and key-​and-​wallet lockers all provided.
Me being me, there are nitpicky things I’m not crazy about, like the locker rooms with no privacy for dressing, and the smallest shower stalls ever. The biggest issue I have is with the class schedule. It’s all volunteer taught, which is nice, but it makes for great inconsistency with teachers and times offered, with classes being dropped a what seems like a whim. I get that it’s at your volunteer’s convenience, but offering classes during the weekday, when most people are working, or people not showing up, can be nervewracking. Once they iron that out, I’ll probably come back raving about some new thing I’ve tried. I like the vibe of this place, and the people that work out all cheer each other on.

Whether you want to work-​out, take a cooking class or pilates, the Legacy Center has you covered. After comparing the Legacy Center to the two downtown Ys in both price (half) and proximity (closer by a half a mile), the Legacy Center beat the Y for us. There is no pool or daycare (I don’t want either). The equipment is new, the staff is super-​helpful and while I haven’t signed up for classes (free to members!), the people who have been going really seem to enjoy it. There is never a wait for equipment. The demographics of the members seem to be mostly (but not all) 30 – 50 and from every economic background.

Lovely legacy…
Come here for a good work out, a community meeting, a cooking class, or a youth choir class. Zumba is by far the most popular class, so be careful if you are working out when this class is happening, because you’ll hear lots of women Unilocaling!
Cost starts at $ 20 an individual and they offer discounts and annual plans (pay with cash or check for these).
This is one of the best new assets to the eastside and I can’t wait to see what they do with it.
