Member Testimonials

I’m mostly there for machines. And it’s never too crowded. Locker rooms are very nice too.

I only used the weight lifting equipment and machines. I found the experience to be great with duplicate sets of weights and some machines available. The availability of areas for stretching is very nice compared to some of the Y locations. The front desk staff was quite pleasant when I came in and made sure to wish me a great day as I exited. That was very nice!

Your classes & instructors are amazing!

I signed up got the basketball gym so that I can shoot after workouts. It’s in close proximity to my job so it’s easy to get to. The only thing I don’t like is the parking situation which is understandable because it is in the downtown area.

I like Zumba, and I wish we could get our Sat morning class back. I miss it very much, I have to drive now for class.

I lap swim and I like it when there are clean towels (seen an improvement in this so thank you)

The facility provides a wide variety of fitness classes that challenge me and keep me interested in coming back.

The cleanliness and friendly atmosphere

Swimming and sauna

The instructors are all knowledgeable and enthusiastic!

Great Place! We swim laps in morning and Jerome is wonderful.
The only helpful comment that I have is that shower curtains could be
changed more often. Otherwise, we are enjoying our visits there! Thank you!

Towels!

Location and facilities provide a platform for community and serving a broad set of fa,ilies and individuals

I've been going to the OTR Y almost since it opened. I do have two current issues, #1 since later last year towels haven't been consistently available. I'd guess 1/4 of my visits they are out of towels. I sweat, a lot, and not having a towel isn't great both for myself and other patrons if I can't dry myself off. #2, this is less of an issue but at some point last year the light in the steam room was turned on. IDK if I'm the only one with a preference of having that light off to make it more relaxing atmosphere. If its possible, could that light be turned off again? Its been off most of my time as a Y member.

I like being able to schedule a swim at an hour that meets my needs.

Saline pool, sauna at 180 degrees , steam room and towels!

Swimming

I like the feel. There is great energy and the natural light throughout the space makes it enjoyable to work out.

Great classes - Marks boot camp and Amy’s body pump are my favorites

SS is fun, consistent, low impact. Strength and Balance does a better job of keeping the work out fun and challenging. Should add more classes. Yoga with Mary has a following so she should add more classes.

A Y person should be more available to demonstrate nautilus.

I just work out there. Haven't done anything else

Staff is great , it’s clean and classes are plenty with good instructors!

Instructors are encouraging and have alternative exercises for beginners. All the members are friendly and we are like a workout family

I think they are appropriate and beneficial for all ages and abilities.

you have a great variety of programs.

Love the historic building, friendly staff, hot coffee, sauna, steam room, clean environment and equipment. 10/10

Love the classes and the proximity to work.

Kind environment

I like that you have a lot of exercise equipment. I like that you provide free towels. My local Y which is Powel Crosley does not do that. I like your locker room facility and the fact that you have a steam room and sauna. Overall really a nice Y and in a beautiful historic building.

The staff, the cleanliness, the towels!
