I don't know which is better, her class or her peaceful presence. This woman is incredible. Her entire approach to Pilates will keep you coming back. It is an awesome workout with modifications for the newbie or the expert. Jana takes the time to explain each exercise and most of the time demonstrates. You never feel awkward and you always feel glad you went to class. They make it very easy to sign up & pay for classes by utilizing the Mindbody app. Give it a try - you know you want to! (Helpful hint for a newbie - wear slip proof socks or paint your toenails - no shoes in this class! ;) )

So far so good! It's 2021 and we're slowly recovering from the panorama (yes, panorama lol). Inside…read moredining, theaters, and gyms are opening back up. The McKie Rec Center is no different. I recently moved into the area and heard about the weight room. I paid for a 3 month membership, which was $45 dollars. I believe this includes access to all Cincy rec centers but will need to test that out. The 45 bucks gives me access to the basketball court and the weight room. COVID SAFETY: For now, you have to call and schedule a time to go into either facility. They are keeping the number of people very low so I appreciate that since the weight room is fairly small. You must call and book a time on the hour for the hour. My only complaint is there isn't an online portal or email I can send, I have to call, and if you know me - I HATE calling anyone haha! Oh well. It's a great alternative for me when I'm not feeling like running outside. It's walking distance and opens up at 8am so I can get my morning burn before the day starts. Glad to have it available!

I think the Cinci Recreation Commission facilities are a great benefit to the city and fully…read moresupport their inclusion in the city budget, etc. Unfortunately there are a lot of things competing for the same funds, and certain communities draw the short straw. And, unfortunately, McKie suffers from that. Most of the equipment is old and beat up, but in working order. They are not open weekends, but they are open late enough on weekdays to get in a workout after work. McKie also lacks a few amenities that some of the better funded CRC centers have such as a running track. Now, those are a few of the negatives to get out of the way, and unfortunately they are things the folks at McKie just can't do anything about. Now, the good things. First off the people are really great. Everyone is very friendly, and not because they are looking at you like a walking commission. I have seen people being trained there, but I'm not sure how that is set up, definitely not in a high-pressure way. They have classes in martial arts and I think I've seen some women walking around with yoga mats. And the other big tradeoff for the gently used equipment is that an adult membership is only $25 a YEAR!! A main charge for the center seems to be the programs for area youth. I know there are regular and structured basketball times, and I've seen younger children occupying the front room doing arts and crafts projects. Also, in the summer, McKie hosts a number of day camp activities as well as swimming lessons. The front room also hosts community organizations such as the Community Council and acts as a jumping off point for things like the Great American Cleanup. So, as I mentioned, the CRC community centers are asked to do so many worthwhile things, and do them on a shoestring budget. The only reason I give this a 3 star review here is because if it had a bigger budget, I need room to go to 4 or 5.

Great gym! I was in the city for a summer internship and wanted to give crossfit a try in order…read morestay in shape. The owner & staff members were accommodating and friendly. The workouts were difficult and pushed me out of my comfort zone, but at the same time could be modified to fit my needs. All of the staff and other gym-goers were motivating. They are certainly capable athletes (as other reviews mention) but in no way was anyone snooty, rude, or un-accommodating regarding ability. The more I went to the classes the more I wanted to go! The gym also has great equipment and is kept very clean. I found the class times to be very convenient for a 9-5 type of employee. Aside from the main area downstairs, there is an upstairs gym that is spacious and allows for you to do your own workouts if the WOD does not appeal to you, or you can't make it to a class time. As a bonus the owner some times brings his puppy in during morning workout times.

I did not have a good experience at this CrossFit gym. At first, I thought that CrossFit just…read morewasn't for me but then I joined a different CrossFit gym and the difference has been night and day. This location is simply not beginner-friendly. Nearly all of the members here are hyper-athletic--which there's obviously nothing wrong with--but when hyper-athleticism translates to elitist attitudes and unwillingness to help others who are still learning--that's when it turns into snobbery. I received very little constructive assistance from anyone at this gym. I was continuously over-coached by trainers who would get frustrated at me for not doing movements correctly and slowing the class down. The last straw was when I was openly mocked by one of the trainers for looking ridiculous when I was earnestly trying to learn one of the movements. Not cool. If you are a beginner looking to start a CrossFit program I would not recommend this one, there are plenty more out there that are much more beginner-friendly and less full of CrossFit snobs.

In recent years, the YMCA has instituted a policy that allows you to use your membership throughout the country. So, even if you are away from home you can still keep to your workout regimen.

I find myself at this location every other week, even though it's not the closest to my home. For improvement, I'd like to see them get a couple racquetball rackets that aren't wonky. It's a bit dodgy if you don't bring your own.
