Member Testimonials
Instructors are fantastic.
The Central YMCA is returning to normal post-Covid lockdown. There are more classes returning and the membership seems to be increasing.
The mutliple options
Not sure about programs or activities… but I love the facility. Clean, friendly and maintained very well.
Coffee and fresh towels.
Love the instructors for the Zumba classes, fun and engaging. Friendly and courteous front desk staff.
Cleanliness of workout areas.
I love Zumba and yoga.
I don’t do any programs. I do like that there is all of the workout equipment anyone would want. I’ve always said I like starting my day doing something healthy with friends I like. I’ve been going to the Y over 20 years and have made a lot of friends there.
The best and only salt water pool in Cincinnati. Best lifeguards. Best front desk personnel. Gym equipment that isn't broken (for months on end like Powell Crosley). Clean showers and locker rooms.
Group classes
I'm a swimmer. Great lifeguards and a beautiful pool.
It’s clean, and the towels are an awesome bonus!
I like the whole atmosphere there at Central Parkway. Everyone working there is really nice, and they keep the place clean for us, and we have everything we need there. What more could we want?
Terrific cardio/strength training space. Adequate number and variety of machines and equipment in a well-distributed and attractive space.
After the renovation of a few years ago, this is a beautiful and well-functioning gym. The saltwater lap pool is a really unusual and nice option. This is also the only Y I've been to in Cincinnati that provides towels. Parking downtown is not as hard as you might think. There are a lot of street meters within a couple of blocks of the Y and they accept credit cards for payment.
Amazing staff and energy in the building
Excellent facility for all fitness levels and very convenient.
The lifeguards are always so nice and know my name!
Great weight room. Fantastic locker room and facilities.
Lots of group exercise classes
Great staff. The only problem is the cost of parking!
Clean friendly
Haven’t tried anything just yet
I don't know how to improve
on personnel or programs
Present leadership has done a
nice job having everything clean
and in order and programs
functioning according to plan.
I like the saline water in the pool. I am a swimmer and the chlorine at other Y pools is a problem. I had 2 eye surgeries so the Central Y's pool is perfect for me.
Also, the lifeguards and other staff are always welcoming and fun to talk to.
I love the pool especially. And, the locker room and showers are kept clean. I appreciate being allowed to rent a locker where I can keep my stuff for swimming so I don't have to shlep it back and forth (which is why I moved to the downtown Y). I also appreciate the parking although I'm not sure others will get the same privledge so i don't mention that when I'm telling people about it.
ABILITY TO TRAVEL TO OTHER FACILITIES BASED ON PERSONAL TRAINING NEEDS... LOTS OF OPTIONS
Awesome!
Variety and frequency
