The Irsay Family YMCA at CityWay

As we head into fall, we’re excited to introduce the leaders who help make the Irsay Family YMCA at CityWay a place of belonging, connection and growth for our community.

Meet April, Director of Center Youth, Family and Camp 🎉

As a dynamic leader, April is most passionate about building strong, innovative programs that serve all members and neighbors. Outside of the Y, you'll find April burried in her 2026 book goal!

Thank you for being part of what makes the Irsay Family YMCA such a welcoming home for all.

Meet Rebecca, Associate Executive Director💐

With a career spanning 15+ years, Rebecca loves working at the Y because of the people she meets every day — members, guests, staff, community partners and neighbors. Outside of work, she enjoys hiking in national parks, reading and hosting a good party.

Thank you for being part of what makes the Irsay Family YMCA such a welcoming home for all.

LABOR DAY SCHEDULE - Plan ahead for Labor Day. All YMCA of Greater Indianapolis locations will close at 1 p.m. on Monday, September 7.

A modified schedule will be available in the YMCA 360 app. Members can also:
• Visit JCC Indianapolis from 9 a.m.–5 p.m.
• Access virtual classes anytime at YMCA360.org or in the YMCA 360 app
• Use 24/7 access at select Y locations

Visit Member Services to learn more about 24/7 access.

Our community is coming together to support neighbors impacted by recent flooding. Through September 4, we’re collecting new, unopened household cleaning supplies like laundry detergent, dish soap, disinfecting wipes, trash bags, paper towels and more. Bring your donations to the collection area at the front of your YMCA. Every donation, big or small, can help a family take the next step toward recovery.

Help us give a big Irsay Family YMCA welcome to two new members of our team! 🎉

🏊 Liberty joins us as a Lifeguard and Swim Instructor, helping keep our community safe in and around the water while teaching young swimmers the skills and confidence they need to thrive.

🔧 Ashley joins us as our new Buildings and Grounds Director, helping care for the spaces that make our YMCA feel welcoming and ready for our community each day.

We’re so excited to have Liberty and Ashley on the team. Please help us give them a warm welcome! 💙

Ready to take the next step?

Personal Training at the Y gives you expert guidance, support and a plan built around your goals.

Start with a Quick Start, your introductory session with a certified personal trainer. You’ll discuss your health and wellness goals, explore the equipment and create a personalized plan to help you move forward with confidence.

Register by Sept. 8, and you'll receive a motivational sweat towel or water bottle to keep you going.

There may be more waiting for you at your YMCA than you realize. 💙

Meet Melissa, your LIVESTRONG at the YMCA instructor!
Melissa is an Air Force Veteran, wife, bonus mom to three amazing (now) adults, and a yoga, group fitness instructor, and personal trainer. She’s passionate about helping people of all fitness levels and ages build lifelong healthy habits through joyful movement and science-based mindfulness.

When she’s not in the studio, you’ll find her reading, painting, or making sure her cat is living his best, sassiest life. 💙

🏀 The first practice of our basketball league is in the books!

The season is just getting started, and there’s still time to join the fun. If you haven’t registered yet, there's still time: https://indy.recliquecore.com/programs/41753/basketball-league/?locations=24

You know us for fitness. But did you know your YMCA offers so much more?

Throughout the month, we're introducing you to our Healthy Living instructors and highlighting programs designed to support your overall well-being. This month, you'll also meet Monica, who began her wellness journey at the Athenaeum YMCA in January 2000. She joined the Y team in 2013 and began teaching in 2023. Breath and movement are her passion, and she brings that energy into our Moving For Better Balance program.

There's more to your Y than you might think. Come discover it with us! 💙
