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.

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.

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.

Even though I live in Westerville (license says Westerville, bills say Westerville, literally live…read morenext to Westerville Central Highschool) they said I am not eligible for resident rates. So ridiculous & I'm not paying an extra $24 a month for the "nonresident rate" when I do live IN WESTERVILLE... Facilities look nice & i would've loved to use them, but not for that monthly price I guess I'll be going elsewhere.

A great place to rent for almost any occasion! I personally have had many birthday party's and…read moreevents here not mention all of the events I have attended here for someone else.

Came here to view an art exhibit in a gallery upstairs. But there is a lot more here, and it is…read moreimpressive. Free parking in the lots or garages nearby. A big play area in the lobby, so Kid K and her friends hung out there some. There's also a pool and a workout center on the main floor, plus a track and basketball court upstairs. And more exercise areas, for all I know- it's a big building. Staff were friendly and helpful. The gallery up on the 5th floor has a nice balcony with seating. The whole place is shiny and new and comfortable, with many amenities. There's a small cafe in the lobby, and it sounds like another on maybe the 4th floor? If I were a UA resident I'd be here often. They allow non-residents to use the pool for a fee, and I'm sure other areas too. Many areas are available to rent for meetings or parties, and they have classes in various activities.

It would also be great if your membership included classes because the classes, leagues, ect are expensive.

The Columbus Idea Foundry is such an amazing concept and opportunity for the members of our…read morecommunity. The Idea Foundry defines itself as a community of makers, designed to help you explore new ideas and unleash your passion to make things. It is a place for creative people to gather, work on their projects, bounce ideas off of and support others. They also offer a multitude of classes to the community. We decided to sign up for "Woodshop Orientation A: Table Saw, Miter Saw, Jointer & Planer" in the hopes that it would help us with our first home project. The cost is $90 per person for non members. Yes, you can become a member but I'm not going to get into all that info in this review. If you want more info on that, check out their website. When we arrived on a Saturday morning, our class was given a mini tour of the foundry. Then we went into the workshop that they utilize as their classroom. There was one instructor for our small class of 9 people. I appreciated that the class was small. I also enjoyed the instructors vast knowledge and concern for woodshop safety. In fact, maybe the class should have been named Woodshop Safety 101. We went through the class with one piece of wood, starting by making a cut with the miter saw, and working out way through the use of each tool. By the end of the class we had a perfectly cut and planed smaller piece of wood. Ultimately what I think I got from this class was the confidence to use machinery such as the table saw and miter saw on my own. The class gave me a real chance in my adult years to use these tools and I hope that will be helpful for me in the future.

Vineyard Community Center is an amazing hub to get plugged into!…read more The community center offers everything from a food pantry, free health clinic, a free store for parents of babies up to age 2, connection to all kinds of community resources; even adult and youth programming around sports, community, education, and wellness. They throw a block party in the summer, host health fairs, back to school activities, and even have a program that is centered around sustainability and caring for the earth. Theres a day program for adults with disabilities called AIM- and boy does that group know how to have fun! What I love most about the community center is that everyone is very welcoming and staff and participants are always willing to help you find what you need or assist in getting you signed up for a program. It's a great place to participate, meet people, learn, and play at any age or stage in life.
