The building is rather odd with a poorly thought out design. The basketball court is at the south…read morearea, swimming pool at the north, and athletic equipment in an L shaped area at the center. Bodybuilders using weights are at the smaller part of the L shape in the south-west area of the building. The walls of the basketball court do not go all the way up to the ceiling so yelling, screaming, and thumping noises easily propagate throughout the building as do clanking sounds from the weight lifting area. Walls, floors, and the interior of the roof of this huge open space are all hard surfaces which exacerbate the noise problem. There are several TV's on the south wall but no remote control(s) to channel select. Speakers abound throughout the building often with annoying music that is more often than not in the foreground rather than background. This only serves to add to the ambient noise level. There are other oddities as well such as no place at the entrance to hang winter coats, rain coats, boots, umbrellas, etc. There are however, small lockable cubicles near the entrance where a rolled up jacket or other small items can be stowed. If you have large bulky winter items, it would be best to shed them and leave them in your car. The locker rooms are also lacking where lockers are just half-height and stacked one above the other. Having just one toilet and one urinal, this is grossly inadequate for the scores of members and staff using the building. And strangely, paper towel dispensers are numerous for wiping down the machines however none are to be found in the restrooms. Oddly, included under the hand blower is a trash container for paper towels that do not exist. When the blower runs, the plastic liner blows out into your face. Lastly, whoever designed the parking area was totally clueless. There is not enough space between the double rows of parking slots making getting in and out of spaces tight and difficult. Care must be taken as to not back into one of the other parked cars. Other than the oddities outlined, it's a welcomed addition to the community.

But unless you're flexible and have fairly low expectations this place can be frustrating. Locker rooms are also very basic, no privacy, steam room, etc.

I have spinal stenosis and I was there with my special-needs son, and he acted as if we would not be able to use any of the fitness equipment due to our physicality. Again, I am horrified at the blatant ablest nature of this man. I didn't catch his name, but he had a shirt that said something Fitness on it. I assume he is involved with the fitness program.

I've been a member of the YMCA since September and there's a few things lacking:…read more 1. If there are holiday hours the app isn't updated in a timely manner. For example, hours are 10-2 for MLK day but there are still classes until 7:45 pm and I can see that people signed up. When I called and asked the Y staff member said "the person that does the schedule isn't here and hopefully he does it tomorrow." 2. Headsets aren't functioning all the time so instructor is trying to scream over sidetrack. 3. Some morning classes aren't offered in the evenings so this isn't fair for folks that work during the day. (Pure Strength and Y Stretch). I'm giving a 3 vs a 2 because I enjoy the instructors but the Y has a lot of improving to do.

Huge, and new, and far far out of my way. But I was kinda nearby today, and, woo. If you live at…read moreall nearby please come check it out and use it. Big parking lot, shared with an attached OhioHealth facility. Clean, bright, open plan, lots to do. Weight room and basketball courts downstairs, along with classrooms, lockers, pool, etc. Upstairs are exercise machines and a walking track. You can walk on a treadmill and watch people go in circles, or vice versa. Many cleaning stations. Many bathrooms. Indoor and outdoor pools, and the indoor one has a couple of actual pools (maybe one is for therapy?) Daycare area, another bike room with even more monitors (there are many TVs around in the exercise area.) Big locker rooms. I wish this was closer to me. But maybe I'll get out here once in awhile.

This review is for the Senior Center Program Pass. For residents, it only costs $24, and the Senior…read moreCenter has many classes and amenities. I took the Fearless Falling class, held between 3:00 to 4:00 on Wednesdays and I learned so much. The senior lunch on Wednesdays and Fridays is only $4; you may choose to dine in or takeaway. Near the dining hall sits a huge cabinet filled with puzzles ranging from 300 to 1,000 pieces. Their generous policy is that you may bring puzzles or take as many puzzles as you like. The pool tables are always in use by smiling gentlemen and ladies. There is a quilt drop-in a couple of days a week. I'm impressed with how upbeat and cheery everyone is and I'm glad the city has created such a welcoming space for its seniors.

The Dublin rec center gives you a free in-body test when you buy fitness passes which is a very…read morenice little perk but it's almost impossible to schedule it. I tried calling both the people (T & H, for short) who administer the test to schedule it and neither one called me back. I also texted one of them (H) and never heard back. So I called the rec center and they gave me the email for H. I emailed him and he replied and we scheduled it. Then, two hours before the time we had scheduled, he emailed me and said he would be teaching a class at that time and could I do it myself? I had never paid attention to the set-up of the procedure so I said no. So he said he would get someone to cover for him and he'd be there at our scheduled time. I got there early and waited about 15 minutes before I went to the front desk to tell them I needed help with the scheduled test. The person followed me back to the in-body room and pointed to a man and said "That's H". So he was out in the hallway having a conversation and I was waiting (at that point nearly 20 minutes) for him. He came in and gave me the test. Some version of this happens every 3 months when I buy new passes and have to run the gauntlet to get my free test and it is extremely frustrating.

The instructor is fun, the class works you out for a good hour, and best of all it's close to my house. Aerobics isn't the only recommendation, they have a weight room available for $20 per year, and a whole host of other classes, from musical to creative.
