Member Testimonials
Great facility, amazing staff - George should be kept forever.
I love Zumba however I wish the group fitness rooms were larger because it gets very crowded.
💜💜💜
I dont use the programs but I love the facilities. I live in OTR. It is very convenient.
The Central Parkway YMCA has the equipment and amenities that match nearly all exercise facilities with which I'm familiar. It is spacious and always clean. Most importantly, the staff members are, at all times, friendly and attentive.
Very clean facility with lots of options.
Love tai chi with Larry and Fairbanks.
Also love and use the 15 min. Core class. I’d love to have more Zumba classes. The noon class is too quiet for me and the friends I’ve invited. It would be great to have a Zumba /dance class with Motown, R&B music for the 55 and up crowd.
You all run a great Y. I’ve brought so many people into the fold!
the great facilities there! more yoga and spin classes always welcome.

I only use the upper body machines
Variety and times
Variety of classes! Wish more times were available though
I like them! they are a diverse variety of program and there is something for everyone
I like to work space available
I like the facility very much. I use the weights and aerobic equipment. I do not like the way the men's steam room is constantly broken down.
I mainly lift weights to maintain strength and general fitness. I love the array of free weights and the Cybex machines. It’s a comfortable, friendly environment and I see many friends and neighbors.
Facility is in great shape. There's a strong diversity of activities. The staff is attentive and welcoming...
This Y has very clean facilities, well maintained equipment, and very nice staff and clientele.
I love Mercede’s Saturday morning yoga class. I also love the swimming pool!
Boxing, other classes
They are fun, exciting and much needed.
I like the yoga classes with Allison and the friendly staff!
Smart/Friendly staff. Variety.
I love the recently renovationed Downtown"Y!"
The staff is incredibly friendly and eager to assist.
The basketball gym is nice with track overhead.
Also, the workout machines are always available.
Great gym overall.
The variety
Plenty of options to choose from and many different times of the week.
I like that there are all sorts of different people there. Young and old, rich and poor, black and white. It is just like the neighborhood it is located in and I love that.
I also love the occasional happy hours, even though I haven't attended any since the centennial celebration.
Group fitness, meeting people
Great variety and a great price.
The three platforms in free weight area are fantastic. The more the better. I love using the studios for individualized or small group stretches due to the privacy, the mirrors, the music, and the access to free weights/resistance bands/mats. I don't use any specific programs or activities but I see they are popular and am happy for the people that benefit from them. I'm just not a fitness class type of person. I especially enjoy seeing participation by older populations.
