Your programs are great. The teachers are great. I have just one problem and it's with the indoor pool door policy. I do understand where people are coming from with the cold air rushing in. It's uncomfortable. However, as a woman, taking my young son to the pool means going through the gym (can't go through the locker rooms) while basketball games are going on and walking right below the baskets. That means getting in people's way, accidentally getting hit with rogue basketballs, tripping on water bottles, dripping water on the court floor. It's creates unwanted problems just to spare swimmers a brief burst of cold air. I would have no problem going through the women's locker room on my own, but that is not a reasonable option with a 7-yr-old boy. Sending him alone through the men's locker room is not a reasonable option either. Your policy is fine for solo adults, but it doesn't feel very fair for parents with young children of the opposite sex.
I signed up for swimming lessons and I did not have a membership but before the class started, they sent me out a text letting me know that you’ll need to practice what you’re learning in class so I reached out to the swimming instructor and she worked very diligent with me to get a refund back on my swimming lessons and to help me join the YMCA both at the same time very professional and very personable and very helpful. So with that being said Mrs. B is a very outstanding employee for the blue Ash YMCA.
While I have not yet begun to explore all of the programs YMCA BlueAsh has to offer due to my knee replacement, I do appreciate the variety of options. As I heal, my wife and I definitely plan on taking advange of more of the options that are available to us…
I do Silver Sneakers three times a week and love it. It’s great exercise among friendly people with no pressure. I like having three different instructors -- they’re each good, and they provide variety to the classes. The people at the desk are always helpful and friendly. My only problem has been the app for reserving my place -- it’s sometimes cranky and difficult but someone at the desk told me to reboot which has solved the problem. Thanks!
