The variety - there's something for all ages & interests. The staff is friendly and helpful.
However, it's getting very competitive to lap swim in the main pool on Friday mornings 11:00a.m. since the 10:00a.m. slot was eliminated (see how it's full with a full waitlist on most weeks). I don't understand why Water Aerobics can't share the pool during the 10:00a.m. hour, as they have in the past.
Thank you.
Jan Angilella’s Dance Fit class targeted to Seniors.
The staff are great
I like all classes they are offered for seniors, but they need to offer more. Most of the time classes are full when I try to sign up.
I primarily use the cardio equipment and weight lifting machines. The machines are usually in good working conditions and when maintenance is needed the machines are fixed in a timely manner-excellent !
Pickleball activity schedule is a plus
It’s ok to do what feels best for me
Great teachers and lots of class/time options
Kids sports programs
Great Barre class. Friendly people at desk.
Free time for water walking/swimming, steam room, sauna, meeting new people of all ages and nationalities, watching kids having fun
I love that you guys have childcare. The gym look clean. There was one bicycle that didn’t work. It was pretty packed, but I will be back again.
Jessica’s small group personal training is great! She tailors the training for age and abilities.
The people at the front desk are always friendly and helpful.
I do not participate currently but like that lessons such as swim, martial arts, and activities for all ages. Great for families.

The first day I felt very welcome.
accessible and great for beginners
The fact that I can participate for free via my Renew Active membership.
And, you are one of the few places in town that has racquetball courts.
- Staff is helpful and friendly.
- Pools are great, and it's nice to be able to reserve a lane to swim.
- Aerobic equipment has good quality, quantity, and variety.
- Have not had a chance to try any of the classes yet.
- Weight equipment could be upgraded... machines are not the best... only slightly better than the ones I used in high school 50 years ago.
So far, I've only used bikes, and some light free weights.
All good facilities and helpful staff - happy to be using my Silver Sneakers benefit at the Blue Ash YMCA!
Location and vibe
I particularly enjoy the Dance Fitness class at the Blue Ash Y. The instructor has high energy which motivates and engages the participants. Due to the instructor's skilled and flexible approach, I consistently find it to be my favorite class (both internal and external to the Y.)
Fun and can meet new people.
Community activities, lots of exercise equipment.
Many programs to choose from. Fun activities for everyone.
Good value
Senior classes. Yoga swim walk and classes

All the exercise programs I have participated in have been both challenging and exhilarating. Food pantry, distribution and school supply collection have been impressive.
