Jerry L. Garver YMCA - YMCA of Central Ohio — Local services in Columbus

Heartbreaking, I was a member b4 for quiet a few years. Going 5-7 days a week, at that time the staff complaints to me about noise was ridiculous. Its a gym, bytheway the would blast all sorts of music during spin class in the corner Wether it was liked or not. Now after a while I'm back, and the floor staff in the fitness area with the exception to 1 jamie. Seems to only be interested in self or each other. No 1 Walks THE FLOOR TO Boost Moral Of MEMEBERS OR TO EVEN Check Equipment. I have complained of bolts beings loose on a big rack (squats,Rogue). Even took loose bolts too boss upfront. To only come in the next day to the BOLTS STILL LOOSE! LAWSUIT WAITING TO HAPPEN!. I try and help out with returning left out weights and to help other members with proper FORM AND FUNCTION OF MACHINES AND BODY ALIGNMENT. NO staff member does that? I hate to see someone come to a Gym,club etc and get hurt trying to be fit, healthy to only leave and or get discouraged. The ymca to me wasn't like this growing up. It was truly a helpful place for folks. Now just m oney. I hope someone READS THESE AND CORRECT THE MAINTENANCE MAN,PERSON BECAUSE HE SUCKS. THAT RACK SHOULD BE OUT OF SERVICE TILL ALL BOLTS HAVE BEEN TIGHTLY SECURED. So many regulars are unhappy due to lack of respect and or knowledge of staff, and the lack of effort to help unknowingly or unatheletic memebers. 1 happy person out thee Bunch it seems. Even tho Ryan has been there a few years now, seems he lost interest as well. I love working out and go to 2 gyms to accommodate my schedule and the ymca could be so much more if someone CARED. HE'LL PLANET FITNESS ain't that bad.? And they have a no judgment policy but men can't wear muscle...

Really no good place to go with your kids , I was there last month . I put my purse in the locker for 30 minutes and when I went for it someone had stolen it. I Was walking to ask the front desk and suddenly one of his life guard said here it is. she didn't even ask what color was nothing I wonder how she knew it was that ? i started checking for my things my car keys and my son's cell phone my keys was there but no my iPhone 6s. a bottle water , sun glasses and chips , I went to talk to those who were there and they told me that this things happened very often. They did not want to check the cameras and i wait for 3 days and they only gave me excuses until I went with a police officer. They watched the cameras and saw another person who was the one who touched my purse after me. Is a person of those who work there. They told me that they would talk to her and they would call me. I'm still waiting for the call . hey guys Very careful with your stuff because they steal there and can be one of the same employees and believe me they do it many times. What a sadness that even in a gym you can't trust anymore . after that bad experience I will never back to the ymca . my advice to the ymca is if you know things like this happens very often come on you need to do something to stop . #YMCA #verydissapointed...

Yesterday was our first time at this ymca. The staff was friendly and we will be back because it is convenient. I do however have some feedback. I love that there is a pond on the property and wanted to sit outside. I noticed there was a picnic table but as I approached it was surprised to see it in terrible condition. The table is missing a whole piece of table top exposing nails that someone could hurt themselves on. I find it hard to believe that that table was not immediately replaced. I know this is a ymca but these tables are on sale for $89 at Lowe’s as we speak. The community deserves to sit and enjoy the space as it was intended. Having somewhere to sit on the deck would be nice and I’m sure increase the use of the space. There was also visible bottles and trash floating along the sides of the water. I really do hope that if nothing else, this table is replaced asap so the community can enjoy the spring and summer view of the wildlife...
