Member Testimonials
The inclusive culture at the Blue Ash Y , the variety of classes and class times offered and the free coffee in the AM hours.
Enjoy the clean pool!
I enjoy using the Gym and the indoor pool. I like the fact that I can go to any Y to work out.

Clean weight room, plenty of workout options
I visited for the first time since I was in the area. I just wanted to work out with weights. I was quite impressed with a new equipment except I did not know how to use it and there was no one around to ask and show me. I would like to come back and be able to use those machines in the near future.
Outstanding staff!!!!!!! Great options, many classes.
The instructors and the variety.
Great classes with friendly instructors
I’m a swimmer at the Central Y and love everything about the facilities. The Y is very clean and the pool is always at the perfect temperature for long distance swimming. The staff is incredibly friendly and a I find the facility a great place for great workouts.

The Christian values
First, everyone is friendly and welcoming, offering help if you’re new. Wonderful community!
Wide variety
I like the TRX class, mat Pilates, step call. I wish they were offered more often. Also enjoy the weight room and lap swimming.
More water aerobics classes have been added at Blue Ash YMCA, which is great although occasionally lifeguard shortages still limit the class sizes. The eGym Circuit is good. I've recently tried the Fit For Life class and that seems like a good workout. The Thanksgiving family drive is a good way to support the community.
Y is well run unlike the Lyons Y which has had tremendous problems with their director. Women’s locker & shower room are great
Flexibility and attentiveness to detail. Lifeguards are highly engaged in their jobs and very professional. I like that lanes can be reserved online, but wonder how that works with ye Ole folks, like me. (When the website or app malfunction)
Great instructors
relaxing atmosphere with lots of friendly people.
I wish you had towels like the central parkway YMCA.
The different class choices
Your programs are great. The teachers are great. I have just one problem and it's with the indoor pool door policy. I do understand where people are coming from with the cold air rushing in. It's uncomfortable. However, as a woman, taking my young son to the pool means going through the gym (can't go through the locker rooms) while basketball games are going on and walking right below the baskets. That means getting in people's way, accidentally getting hit with rogue basketballs, tripping on water bottles, dripping water on the court floor. It's creates unwanted problems just to spare swimmers a brief burst of cold air. I would have no problem going through the women's locker room on my own, but that is not a reasonable option with a 7-yr-old boy. Sending him alone through the men's locker room is not a reasonable option either. Your policy is fine for solo adults, but it doesn't feel very fair for parents with young children of the opposite sex.
I love fit for life, upbeat fun exercise, good mix of cardio and weights. Would like to have additional classes
I signed up for swimming lessons and I did not have a membership but before the class started, they sent me out a text letting me know that you’ll need to practice what you’re learning in class so I reached out to the swimming instructor and she worked very diligent with me to get a refund back on my swimming lessons and to help me join the YMCA both at the same time very professional and very personable and very helpful. So with that being said Mrs. B is a very outstanding employee for the blue Ash YMCA.
Very diverse & all inclusive….
They offer programs to all ages.
