YWCA of Cincinnati

Okay, so I hear this place has a health club/​workout facility.
I was not at the YWCA to flex my muscles, however. I trekked to this downtown institution to work on some personal development through a diversity training.
We used one of the main meeting spaces, which is beautifully appointed with antique features from when this building was originally built, including lavish moldings, an impressive fireplace with stone carvings and Rookwood fountains.
The staircase leading to the second floor leads to an area draped with beautiful quilts made by textile artists who wanted to memorialize Esme Kenney, a young girl who was brutally raped and killed while she jogged near Winton Woods in 2009.
The YWCA does a good bit of work to honor women, offer them personal and professional development, as well as offer them a space to work out and strive for good health.

I’ve been going to the gym here for a while now since I wrote my last review.
I really enjoy working out here. The gym is small, without being too small. They always have enough machines, weights, and space. However, I usually come during the non-​peak hours due to my work schedule and inability to wake up earlier than I have to in the morning.
There are plenty of ellipticals, treadmills, and bikes in the cardio section and every weight machine and free weights that you could want to use. The pool is the largest pool of all the gyms downtown, with three lanes, there is always one open when I’m there. A plus is the jacuzzi and dry sauna.
The staff is always friendly and with your membership you can take any of the classes they offer. I went to my first spinning class last week and it kicked my butt!
Memberships are pretty affordable depending on how you pay and when you come. You’ll pay as much as you do going to any of those big chain gyms, have a more personal experience, and know that you are also supporting a good organization.
