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!
I don't use the programs or activities but I enjoy the facility equipment.
Men’s towels need to be replenished so we don’t have to go back upstairs when we’re ready to shower. Too many sit on equipment while looking at phones. Otherwise a great place!
Y is convenient. Staff is very helpful and friendly. I like the amenities (towels, steam room, sauna). Because of my work schedule I can't participate in morning classes or classes during the day.
I like the new system of registering to swim.
Pool for swimming:)
I enjoy my time doing different activities around the Y. The staff is so helpful and nice!
I only visited while volunteering but if I knew someone in the neighborhood I would tell them how nice it is but I go to the MELyons Y
Ever-increasing variety of studio-based exercise classes. I really like the strength train together class and would love to see even more offerings
At present, I come to the Y (downtown) only for swimming in the salt water lap pool. I love it and have recommended it to many friends and family. I think the app is terrific for making and easily changing reservations. Also love that I have access to sauna and steam rooms even though I haven’t used them yet.
Everyone seems to be very interested in helping you to obtain your goals. Friendly and positive attitudes.
The pool
I would like more classes on Monday, Wednesday and friday
Layout, equipment and especially staff. Morning guy is great.
It’s clean, and the towels are an awesome bonus!
