I don’t use any of them. My daughter is on swim lessons and I do lap swimming regularly. The environment is clean and the people (members and staff) are regularly nice.
I take most of my exercise classes at the Powell Crosley Y but come over to the Blue Ash Y for Tyler’s Thursday morning cycling class. Everyone is friendly and welcoming. Tyler is an engaging and enthusiastic instructor!
I've just recently come back to the Blue Ash YMCA. My spinning/cycling instructor, Tyler is top notch! She greeted me by name on my first ride & assisted with setting up my bike. Since then, I've noticed she has a warm rappor with the regular riders and; acknowledges other 1st-time riders by name as well. Recently we had our own Flying Pig Cycle Run. The format for the day was inspirational. The layout of the room was changed (the bikes were rearranged) so that all bikes had a clear view of the monitor which had actual footage from a previous pig run-live (as we rode our bikes)! The footage also included still photo shots of the route run from various neighborhoods: Walnut Hills with the St. Francis de Sales clock, Eden Park, Mt. Adams, and Mariemont. Above the tv monitor were balloons and on the wall were encouragement signs, one for each rider's with name. Tyler concluded our ride with a banana and/or a Busken "Piggy-face" cookie. Did I mention she was in costume as well?! I am enjoying cycling.
Several of my friends and I take advantage of the Open Swim on Mon. Wed. and Fri. We exercise in the pool and socialize, two of the most important things to do as we age past our 70's.
The Fit for Life class led by Jan is fun and keeps us moving.
