Member Testimonials

I'm principally a swimmer at the Central Parkway Y. I like the lifeguards.

The gym is nice and the staff is very friendly.

The ymca is a great place to work out at I enjoy all the activities and refer people to join all the time First name removed A Last name removed

I love the facilities.

Love the modern equipment.

They are well-organized and the equipment and environment are really well-maintained.

I like the overall facility vs other facilities. Diversity.

The pool is kept at a lower temperature than the other Y's. It could still be a little colder (80-81) but 82 is much better than most and makes it the only place reasonable for doing a swim workout.

The various times that are available

Great equipment, very helpful and friendly staff!

I love the Downtown Y. Been a member since the 70s. Unfortunately, the lack of affordable parking options limits my ability to utilize the facility .

I did not engage in any programs.
I like the layout of the fitness equipment and the amount of natural light.
Lobby space is warm and inviting.

I especially like the Tai Chi and the pool of course I am not involved with the water aerobics but that looks good too!

Just used the pool

I love the Silver Sneakers class with John. Also think the overall exercise equipment etc is wonderful!

Love the Silver Sneakers class with John. He's a fantastic motivator. I also love all of the equipment available in the gym. On non Silver Sneakers days, it's easy to do a thorough workout.

Clean, modern facilities.

I liked the variety of equipments

Great place for just about anything you want in a gym! Courteous friendly staff.

Silver Sneakers classes are excellent.

I do wish the Y would repair the holes in the wall in Studio 1. They have been there for at least 2 months. Otherwise overall maintenance is good.

Thank you.

The variety and the frequency.

Spin, run row lift, boot camp

I like all of it

Everything is up to par far as equipment great environment, feels like a more upscale experience. Also plenty of options to choose from on the machines for different workouts and tons of space so no one feels crowded or in anybody else’s way...

I like the staff. They truly demonstrate the YMCAs core values of family. Every time I walk into the Cincinnati OTR I am treated with a friendly hello and they make me feel at home. Manager George has a fantastic emphasis for a positive customer experience and going above and beyond to accommodate YMCA guest. Thank you George and OTR team for your efforts!

The variety

I had told a lot of people to come join the YMCA in told them what I experience in the enjoyment

I love Tai Chi as taught by Master Fairbanks. It has changed my exercise life- he and Larry are most wonderful, caring men I’ve ever met.

The pool

I like the saline pool and that it is available almost each time I go there, however there have been closures due to no lifeguard reporting for duty.
