So I go to this gym in Ft Wayne. Nice staff and pretty good people around with good gym etiquette etc. But since I'm staying half an hour away in Huntington, every once in awhile I get a day pass to the local Huntington YMCA to avoid the drive. I had the most bizarre experience there. I was two sets in on a cable machine and this guy in his late 20's approached me with very nervous energy. His mouth was almost chattering when he spoke like he was cold. Except he was sweating. He forcefully said "How many sets you have left?!" I said two. You can work in if you like. "I'm not trying to work out with you! Your cables are on different heights." Yes I know. When I pull them forward they end up even for some reason. "How much longer are you on here?!" Startled by his tone I step back saying well like I said two sets left but you can work in. He steps closer to me pointing and raises his voice further "you're not even doing the right work out bro! I'm NOT trying to work out with YOU!" Then storms off. The guy next to me witnesses all of this, and when the rude guy finally walks away, I look at him and say WOW! As in wow did that just happen?! The rude guy hears me say "wow" and runs back over to me yelling "Is something funny?!" I say no. "I walked away and heard you laughing!" I said look I was just trying to be polite and let you work in. He yells further "I walk away and I hear you going AHHHHHH! Is that funny to you?!" I backed off and said again "I was just trying to be polite and offer you to work in while I finish!" He yells "YOU ARE NOT EVEN DOING THE RIGHT WORK OUT!!!!" I then walked away to let him have the machine even though I wasn't finished. The two men who witnessed all of this never made eye contact with me or asked if I was ok nor stepped in. They acted stone cold as if they saw nothing. That almost pissed me off more than this nut job screaming at me for no reason. If someone had acted that way at my gym in Fort Wayne it wouldn't have been tolerated by anyone around observing it. I would have at least gone up to the guy being attacked afterwards and asked if he was ok. These witnesses didn't even look at me let alone check in. I'll never step foot in that YMCA again. So much for "Christian values" they promote. I did complain to the staff but who knows if they've done anything. Bizarre experience to say the least. Very unfriendly people all around.

Great and clean pools (a warm water pool and a cold water lap pool). The gym is very nice , the raquet ball courts are also fun, they offer a lot of classes, and the basketball courts can be a good time passer, I've always been fond of their upstairs walking track to, they also have a nice playground for their daycare. They also offer HUGE discounts for familys with financial issues

New to Huntington Ave joined the y within days of arriving. It had been wonderful going there, very clean they have disinfectant bottles and towels for everyone to use during their workouts. Haven't tried the pool yet but looks great

I’ve had a family membership for over 2 years now and hardly use it. My main reasoning for getting it was for my children to be able to swim. However the warm pool is only open for a hour or hour and a half every other day and then twice a week it’s open for about 5 hours. They do so many programs and activities in it that it makes it hard to use the pools. Then on Saturdays when most people are off work the pool is closed because the high school swim team uses the pool area. I’m sorry I pay $54 a month to be able to use the amenities yet half the time you can’t. Yes they have a ton of programs which is nice. Most do cost a fee above your monthly membership. I honestly think the YMCA was better at its previous location. I don’t recall all the stipulations and everything being closed on certain days for this program or that program to use it.

Pros: - Can't beat the price, especially given all that's on offer. - Friendly, welcoming staff. - Free childcare while you're working out. - A battery of programming, there's something for everyone. Cons: - Honestly can't think of anything 'negative' to say, and even if I could it would be baseless and petty. Can't fix what isn't broke. Suggestions: - Would **love** to see the Y come up with something for the aspiring strongmen/women, powerlifters, etc. Like a place that's just for the kind of lifting that doesn't jibe well with the mainstream. Somewhere you can use chains, chalk, Atlas stones, bump plates, etc. I know there are other gyms for that...but if the Y catered to that audience, it would be heaven - for me anyways. :-)
