Member Testimonials
Multiple, diverse options.
Towel service
Kind staff
Great equipment
Pool
I like the fact you provide towels and offer a pool strictly for lap swimming or water exercises.
I will take the time to provide constructive criticism regarding the pool.
1) The sign up requirement is ineffective. Virtually every time I sign up, I am waitlisted, but by the time I show up, there are multiple no-shows of people who never canceled. I ask that a no-show with a failure to cancel more than two times in a month result in some form of penalty.
2) The lane lines are visibly dirty. They need to be cleaned. I have raised this concern before.
3) Frequently, the life guards are in street clothes. If they have to jump in the water clothed, this could impede their ability to assist a swimmer. If they take time to remove their clothes, this could also impede their ability to assist a swimmer.
4) Frequently, the life guards are in the office. Even for a brief period of time, this takes their attention away from the pool.
5) I don't think I've seen life guards on phones, but you might want to double check. Pretty sure the life guard yesterday afternoon had an earbud in.
Great members, great staff.
I only use the pool and sauna. All is great until a lifeguard fails to show up and the desk doesn't post a sign, or send out an email blast. Very frustrating.
The many options for physical fitness, which leads to mental wellness.
Everything is great 😃
Pickleball! Plus many options to choose from the exercise equipment to a variety of programs.
The variety of equipment available and the amenities (towel service, sauna, steam room).
Your location has a variety of activities. I really like the weights class and yoga.
yoga & zumba & silver sneakers classes have great instructors
Excellent yoga. I wish the classes were a little longer.
You have the convenience of working at your own pace and the variety of the equipment is next to none. The instructors are top notch and take the time to ensure your safety. The programs are set up for all ages and interest.
The variety of activities.
The exercise sessions for senior citizens!
Very good instructors lead the Classic Silcer Sneakers class!
I like the variety of classes offered, and I have found all of the instructors to be welcoming and friendly.
Convenient / wide range of UNIQUE programs and activities.
Central Parkway Y has the best indoor pool in the Cincinnati area, because they keep the pool temperature between 80-82, which is ideal for lap swimming. If other Y's kept the temp at that level, they would be better, but 83+ is not tolerable for exercise. The staff are really nice and welcoming, the facilities are nice in general and towel service makes going to the gym much easier. Keep up the good work!
Love the gym. Love the pickleball but wish we had more access to pickleball all the time. But never take it away
Friendly
Adult only
Variety
Well organized
I would love the Elm Street YMCA to offer water exercise for senior citizens. I live in the city and this the only YMCA I can travel to. Please offer the classes about 9:00am to 10:00am. Thank You for listening. I'm a Silver's Sneakers Member.
The newer equipment, the atmosphere, the cleaniest and the size. BUT it would be nice if you offered free parking or a discount for parking.
best equipment-friendly staff-convenient
I’m excited to try body balance! I mostly just like coming to the gym to workout on my own. I do like the Evolt fitness tracker option.
The lap pool and the track and the cardio vascular section
Great community and classes
Great program!!
The pool! Almost always right temperature. And same folks swim at same time so we know each other to say “hi.”
Friendly lifeguards too…remember swimmers’ names.
Great facility, excellent staff (manager, lifeguards, front desk)
I haven't been a part of any programs or activities. But I love the YMCA. I used the pool and swim laps.
