I like the classes. It’s motivating to workout in a group.

I like that my wife, my son, and I are all members and depend on the Y for widely different reasons. It speaks to the flexibility of the Y’s offerings.

Very accessible

I like that the Body Pump class in the morning is followed by a yoga class or qigong on Fridays. I like that a morning Pilates class is offered on other weekdays.

Convenient access.

The Silver Sneakers class with Mary on Mondays at 11:30 at the Central Y is just perfect for me -- the timing, the location and especially the teacher. She adds a touch of dancing to the class which makes it so fun. I can't wait to attend each week. Thanks so much for offering this class. It keeps me in shape and keeps me happy!

Love the staff: everyone is friendly and caring toward all members.

The saline lap pool is the best feature of this gym. The lifeguards are terrific, very accommodating, and the water is almost always kept at a perfect temperature for the season.

The gym, however, seems more geared to men than to women. There is no adjustable sit up bench, for example, that stresses lower abs. It is small wonder than men predominate the gym, with the younger men seemingly always coveting the equipment for long periods of time, as they spend more time on their phones than working out. The other Y's have signs requesting users not do this, but management has thus far been reluctant to do so. I am not clear as to why when many of us complain amongst ourselves.

Other than that, it is a lovely Y, a great facility, with a lot of cool classes. Having separate steam and sauna rooms is an added bonus. It is downtown urban, yet people are generally friendly.

I like the machines at the Y at Elm and Central. I do not like the dropping of the weights when others use the machines. I do not like people sitting on a machine and using the Internet. It reduces the time anyone can be using the machine.

Just a very nice place to work out. Friendly people patronize the Central Parkway Y.

Pool. Sauna

Your senior citizens classes , I would like a water exercise class for senior citizens.

I like how many options and easy to use the app to schedule

Thank u for the opportunity to b a part of the YMCA activities. For a retired military man, it allows me to function in my own class and speed. The YMCA has allowed me freedom to associate with others, and perhaps pick up some pointers on the exercises from others.
I do support the fine jobs they do with other organizations around Ohio, and the kids benefit greatly.
