Member Testimonials
I use the steamroom only most times then start or finish my day/night. Not all facilities near my home have that amenity.
Equipment room is well-equipped
water work outs good, looking forward to the outside new pool activities.
I like that you have yoga and barre and barbells and plates
All the exercise programs I have participated in have been both challenging and exhilarating. Food pantry, distribution and school supply collection have been impressive.
The variety - there's something for all ages & interests. The staff is friendly and helpful.
However, it's getting very competitive to lap swim in the main pool on Friday mornings 11:00a.m. since the 10:00a.m. slot was eliminated (see how it's full with a full waitlist on most weeks). I don't understand why Water Aerobics can't share the pool during the 10:00a.m. hour, as they have in the past.
Thank you.
Jan Angilella’s Dance Fit class targeted to Seniors.
The staff are great
I like all classes they are offered for seniors, but they need to offer more. Most of the time classes are full when I try to sign up.
I primarily use the cardio equipment and weight lifting machines. The machines are usually in good working conditions and when maintenance is needed the machines are fixed in a timely manner-excellent !
Pickleball activity schedule is a plus
It’s ok to do what feels best for me
Great teachers and lots of class/time options
Kids sports programs
Great Barre class. Friendly people at desk.
Free time for water walking/swimming, steam room, sauna, meeting new people of all ages and nationalities, watching kids having fun
I love that you guys have childcare. The gym look clean. There was one bicycle that didn’t work. It was pretty packed, but I will be back again.
Jessica’s small group personal training is great! She tailors the training for age and abilities.
The people at the front desk are always friendly and helpful.
I do not participate currently but like that lessons such as swim, martial arts, and activities for all ages. Great for families.
Swimming- able to book online
I started to attend the Silver Sneakers Classic exercise class in December. I am enjoying the class and find it benefical.
I get a great workout and have fun too
I think they are great, but I don’t participate.
I am taking a boot camp class.
The first day I felt very welcome.
accessible and great for beginners
The fact that I can participate for free via my Renew Active membership.
And, you are one of the few places in town that has racquetball courts.
- Staff is helpful and friendly.
- Pools are great, and it's nice to be able to reserve a lane to swim.
- Aerobic equipment has good quality, quantity, and variety.
- Have not had a chance to try any of the classes yet.
- Weight equipment could be upgraded... machines are not the best... only slightly better than the ones I used in high school 50 years ago.
So far, I've only used bikes, and some light free weights.
All good facilities and helpful staff - happy to be using my Silver Sneakers benefit at the Blue Ash YMCA!
Location and vibe
I particularly enjoy the Dance Fitness class at the Blue Ash Y. The instructor has high energy which motivates and engages the participants. Due to the instructor's skilled and flexible approach, I consistently find it to be my favorite class (both internal and external to the Y.)

I can go when it works for me.
