(Batesville, IN) – Free Willy and Jurassic Park reigned supreme at the box office, and a Sony Walkman cost $29.98.
Do you know what else was happening in April 1993? The Southeastern Indiana YMCA was opening its doors, welcoming all to find a place of community – in spirit, mind, and body.

“In Southeastern Indiana, the Y is more than a gym, it’s a place of community,” says Tara Britton, Southeastern Indiana YMCA Chief Executive Officer. “We work to ensure that everyone has the tools they need to reach their full potential – whether that is through our Summer Day Camp, a Parkinson’s Bootcamp class, or our Safety Around Water program, we are here for you and your family.”
In the first year they opened from 1993-1994, the Southeastern Indiana YMCA offered a Wellness Center, aquatics programs, and a preschool.
In 1995 they expanded their facility to offer state-licensed full-facility childcare with a capacity of 140+ children.
In December 1999, they added a second gymnasium, 3 new program rooms, an expanded running track, and a racquetball court.
They offer income-based memberships, and free group exercise classes to members, and in 2016 24-hour access was made available to members 18 and older.
This year the Y opened its Outdoor Community Sports Complex with access to all.
From stage one Swim Lessons to Weightlifting for Athletes, from Healthy Heart and Zumba Gold to BodyPump and Cycling classes, the Y offers programs for all ages, backgrounds, and fitness levels.
