I have been working/working out at the UMCC for nearly two years now, and am very pleased with my…read moreexperience both as an employee and as a member. Everybody is so friendly and welcoming- including the members, front desk employees, fitness staff, maintenance, etc. I spent several years working out at a YMCA, and the UMCC's facility is very similar to the Y that I went to. I'm originally from Virginia, so I really appreciate feeling closer to home. You have the option of working out in the fitness center, attending a group fitness class, playing pickleball, playing basketball, etc. I would 100% recommend the community center!!

Not much for parking though, you have to battle it out on the streets. There is an open kitchen and pass through area for food service and all the tables and chairs you can rent. Really good venue for large family events or social gatherings.

Quietly, last spring, CommonSpace opened their second location in Ardmore. This space, formerly a…read morePilates Studio, became a community art studio, where people could come to make art, take a yoga class, play board games, join a knitting circle. This former "corner store" layout is wonderful for all of these activities, with lots of room for tables and supplies. There's a private bathroom as well. Speaking of supplies - they have so much to create with! There's also displays of work by local artists for everyone to enjoy. I come to this space for their board game group, which is quite fun, and FDC is a regular at their knitting circle. The only challenge is with parking, which is street parking, however I've never had to go more than a block away to park. It's a great addition to Ardmore and I'm so glad to have it.

I gave it a 4 because I think they could use a little commentary or provide more information as to what to expect. What happened in the beginning, what causes the lights and colors, etc. Bring a jacket if you get cold quickly! Eek! I would go again and take earbuds- not just for those who are snoring (I think staff should wake these people up) but to play some classical music or worship music to go with it. I think it would make it so much better!

In general, it is an incredible space for the community to get together and/or enjoy works for local artists across the floors of the building.
