We've been to the park and playground many times. Today Baby K needed a pitstop, and luckily the…read morerec center was open. We hoofed it over, and when we came in the lady at the counter guessed what we needed, and directed us up the ramp to the bathrooms. Which were clean. We thanked her on the way out. The place is bigger than some of the other Columbus rec centers I've been to. They seem to have lots of activities. Big parking lot. Public art at the entrance. A cool place.

I love having the Schiller rec center as an option in lieu of joining a "gym"…read more It's got everything I need: a cardio room with decent treadmills, elliptical machines, and a couple of bikes; a weight room that has recently been restocked with $50,000 worth of new equipment. Lots of circuit training equipment and free weights, and it's big enough that it never really gets crowded whatsoever. Recently I signed up for my first class- a combination of step aerobics, kickboxing, and total body conditioning. Vicki the instructor, is no joke. For $55, I get 3 hours of class per week (1.5 hours Tues and Thurs) for ten weeks. What a great deal. Oh, and it's only $75 to join the rec center for THE WHOLE YEAR. But wait, there's more! Not only does that get you in here, but you can go to ANY rec center in the Columbus parks and rec. So if this place is closed (which it is on Sunday and Monday) you can go check out any of the other centers that may be open. You can visit the parks and rec site to see what each facility has to offer in the way of fitness classes and whatnot. Check it out!

This establishment is located in an industrial park of offices off of Roberts Road. Inside? High…read moreceilings, pleasant light blue paint on the walls, and good bright lighting. This is not an enormous place - but seems to fit the many spandex-covered young kids just fine. All the necessities: Floor, beams, vault, bars, trampolines, and plenty of floor padding mats. There is even a separate smaller room with equipment sized for toddlers - how cute. The participants seem to always be moving - a plus for those high energy ones. The front desk is out in the open. Two restrooms are prominently placed so one does not have to walk down the dim-lite hallway to the back by the loading docks. Three sets of small bleachers align the workout areas so parents can easily keep an eye on there child, or make sure the instructor is up to their par ;) Also, there is a decent amount of standing room for those times, when this place gets crowded. Trophies and pictures cover many of the walls, helping to make this place more "cozy".

We loved Fliptastic for many years. However, the experience once we joined the team was less than…read morepositive for a number of reasons. We ended up leaving the team, and several other gymnasts did as well around the same time, being careful not to burn the bridge there since we had loved being there for many years and leaving was quite sad for us. Several of us ended up together at another gym, and a few months later our new gym was barred from competing at Fliptastic's "Follow Your Dreams" competition, citing capacity. Only our gym. Seems suspicious to say the least. It's one thing to have hard feelings against us, but to take it out on an entire team that was mostly not involved is petty to say the least.

I have visiting the Recreation & Physical Activity Center or RPAC for short at The Ohio State…read moreUniversity campus for years for a tour and when the State Summer Games for Special Olympics Ohio is held there when Volleyball, serving lunch and dinner there at times for huge events, and other things that the RPAC hosts. I have to get my soda from a soda machine because the RPAC in the basement near the lockers only takes payments from students and facility who are members of the RPAC, but they have huge space for working out, taking fitness classes, and another pool that has 8 lanes (25 yards) that has a movable floor and waterslide area for families. Thank you for the RPAC at The Ohio State University.

Review for playground only!…read more We went to the library, and the Park of Roses, and this playground was sort of next to the library. I thought maybe it was at a school, but nope, at the rec center. Plenty of parking out back, of course. And a nice big playground. Baby K loved it. Slides, climbing stuff, etc. Plenty of benches for parents. The library next door for AC/potty/water breaks. Shade! No long walks for tired parents from the parking lot! We both enjoyed it.

We had a birthday party a few months ago here and it was such a great experience. They were so…read morefriendly when we arrived and had us sign in for the party. It's great because my child was super excited not just for the party but to try everything at Integrity Athletics. I saw the excitement in my child's eyes trying the different gymnastics equipment and immediately looked at my calendar for next year. You know where we will be coming for our next birthday celebration. I am so excited to come back soon with the great staff here and fun for kids doing gymnastics.

Large facility, lots of equipment. Those are the upsides. Downsides are an awful stench that does…read morenot come out of clothes, vomit? stains on floors, dirty and dusty. If you don't mind your kid picking up a staph infection its just the place for you. Bring hand sanitizer. Staff is friendly-ish bit slightly clueless. They seem to be trying but not too hard.

First time and won't be my last! I had passed by this spot after looking for local rock climbing…read moregyms and really loved seeing the variety of settings and how well organized it was. The environment and the people that were climbing also had a good vibe; plus good music. Came today and had such a good time challenging myself in all kinds of difficulty levels. Staff was friendly too at check-in! I also loved how clean and well-organized the weight training area was. Bonus: they have the electric climbing wall that you can link to using the mobile app. Can't wait to come back :)

A fantastic bouldering only gym. The gym is a part of the 5 life chain and if you've climbed at the…read moreother gyms before, you do not need to do a separate waiver. The staff here is fantastic. They are super knowledgeable and informative. It has two semi separate bouldering areas. Envision a "J" shape gym. One wall has a long overhang. The other side has a staggered wall. All walltopia walls. I thought the setting was spot on level wise. The gym was exceptionally clean. The carpet material they use is exceptional at trapping the chalk dust. The staff were constantly cleaning up. The other climbers are also on point in terms of politeness! I loved their "happy hour" discounted day pass at $12. Their regular rates are on their website. They have a small training area with one treadmill and other equipment. Their training wall is manual which is so cute! A few areas of improvement. There's no changing or shower area. In the spirit of inclusion, there's one side of the gym with urinals and on side without. The sinks are on the outside of the bathrooms. I think this is fine but folks should know there's no area to shower, wash feet or change except to go into the bathroom stalls. The two brushes that they have are really old and pivoted. Meaning, they are so worn down one side is even missing the brushes. They are also too large to fit into some of the higher holds. In terms of setting, it was solid with great variety - mantles, overhangs, crimps, arretes, traverses, dynamic movements, but I wish that there was a little more creativity. I'm not the strongest climber but I wished their were climbs where I was like "wow" I've never seen that before! Apparently the 5 life setters set a section here every week and they rotate between the gyms so it probably will be the same at the other gyms. It sounds correct as I've visited the other gyms as well. Pro tip. This gym is within walking distance of the Audubon outdoor climbing wall. But they are not associated with each other.

I hope it continue to run this way.

Yikes! Went a few times. The lifeguard recommended what…read morekind of life jacket to buy for my two year old so we bought one. Kept going wearing it and never had any issues. Tonight we were in the splash section for not even a minute and a lifeguard tells us, "He can't wear that on the slide."

Ok, we go over to lazy river and sit in the middle of section where there are benches. I hold my baby while he stands up. "You can't do that, he needs to sit" My son is 2, he's too little sit. He would drown. "It doesn't matter, he cant stand" I'm literally holding him. "It doesn't matter." Mkay, I'm out Going back to the Y, where they also offer free child watch while this one TELLS you about their child watch but don't mention till later it's additional $$$ Rude lifeguards that even friends have mentioned several times are going to be the downfall of the place.

OSU you are making me very jealous of your campus' recreation centers!…read more Not only do you have the amazing and gorgeous RPAC, but you have satellite gyms on the north and south ends of campus? And they still rock HARD?! USC Lyon Center, please take notes. My one gym back in California can't even compare to JOS, our local, smaller gym that is big enough to get everything you need down. There are plenty of cardio machines, weights and even a newly finished basketball court in the back. All sporting equipment can easily be rented from the front desk. The hours here are also not too shabby, as I can just wake up early at 7 to go do my thing (not that I have yet, but soon enough!) I love this place, and although it's smaller than the RPAC, it still holds up very well on its own. Plus it's air conditioned! I don't think the one on north side can really compare. Work hard!

This is a quieter, smaller campus gym option (as compared to the RPAC)…read more Pretty much one huge space split into three sections: part basketball court, part weight room and part cardio area. Very easy parking. There are meters on the adjacent street (I can't remember if coin or credit card based) and a small lot behind the building. Worth your time if you're not into the large RPAC crowds.
