Member Testimonials
Something for everyone. Hours of opening are good and many holidays the Y is open on reduced hours. Friendly staff and nice, clean environment.
Got a lot out of the yoga classes and the pool. Nice YMCA with friendly people.
I'd like to say that I'm elated with the reception area. Not to mention being a newbie to your location and have not had the full experience of the events and or environment as yet. I met and was greeted by Ms. Kayla who went above and beyond for me on my first day. I truly look forward for many more days ahead at The Central Parkway location. Thank you for your high esteem YMCA Central Parkway
Like Pickleball
Mark volunteers and is great.
Jack E. Is also great
I do not live near the Central Pkwy Y, but have visited there twice recently to check it out when I was nearby. It's a great faciliity. Loved it! So beautiful, spacious and modern! I used the exercise equipment in the workout rooms. Love the running treadmill that does not require electricity. Parking is a bit expensive though.
Large variety in workout classes, not too crowded, friendly staff
The set up is warm and welcoming. The staff member that greeted me as a first time member was very helpful and informative. He took the time to give me a guided tour and explained how each room worked (individual, group, etc )
They are varied
Lap swimming at the pool is good. Wish it was bigger.
The new and redesigned weight machine area is very well done and appreciated. Staff is friendly and helpful. Men’s locker room is functional and clean. Overall, Central Parkway Y is a great place to improve my fitness.
I haven't been a part of any programs or activities. But I love the YMCA. I used the pool and swim laps.
Multiple, diverse options.
Towel service
Kind staff
Great equipment
Pool
I like the fact you provide towels and offer a pool strictly for lap swimming or water exercises.
I will take the time to provide constructive criticism regarding the pool.
1) The sign up requirement is ineffective. Virtually every time I sign up, I am waitlisted, but by the time I show up, there are multiple no-shows of people who never canceled. I ask that a no-show with a failure to cancel more than two times in a month result in some form of penalty.
2) The lane lines are visibly dirty. They need to be cleaned. I have raised this concern before.
3) Frequently, the life guards are in street clothes. If they have to jump in the water clothed, this could impede their ability to assist a swimmer. If they take time to remove their clothes, this could also impede their ability to assist a swimmer.
4) Frequently, the life guards are in the office. Even for a brief period of time, this takes their attention away from the pool.
5) I don't think I've seen life guards on phones, but you might want to double check. Pretty sure the life guard yesterday afternoon had an earbud in.
Great members, great staff.
I only use the pool and sauna. All is great until a lifeguard fails to show up and the desk doesn't post a sign, or send out an email blast. Very frustrating.
The many options for physical fitness, which leads to mental wellness.
Everything is great 😃
Pickleball! Plus many options to choose from the exercise equipment to a variety of programs.
The variety of equipment available and the amenities (towel service, sauna, steam room).
Your location has a variety of activities. I really like the weights class and yoga.
yoga & zumba & silver sneakers classes have great instructors
Excellent yoga. I wish the classes were a little longer.
You have the convenience of working at your own pace and the variety of the equipment is next to none. The instructors are top notch and take the time to ensure your safety. The programs are set up for all ages and interest.
The variety of activities.
The exercise sessions for senior citizens!
Very good instructors lead the Classic Silcer Sneakers class!
I like the variety of classes offered, and I have found all of the instructors to be welcoming and friendly.
Convenient / wide range of UNIQUE programs and activities.
Central Parkway Y has the best indoor pool in the Cincinnati area, because they keep the pool temperature between 80-82, which is ideal for lap swimming. If other Y's kept the temp at that level, they would be better, but 83+ is not tolerable for exercise. The staff are really nice and welcoming, the facilities are nice in general and towel service makes going to the gym much easier. Keep up the good work!
Love the gym. Love the pickleball but wish we had more access to pickleball all the time. But never take it away
Easily accessible and clean facility. Towel service. Efficient online booking for programs. What I don’t like is inattentive to repair issues. I reported a door that sticks on court 3 two months ago and was told a ticket had been initiated. Wasn’t fixed. 3 months ago.
