Best Gym near Hamilton, Ohio

An outstanding YMCA with a large cardio area with a wonderful variety of machines. Equally impressive fitness area with a vast amount of machines as well as free weights. Nice area for stretching and several options with exercise bands. Includes a sauna, spa and nice bouldering area. Two basketball courts and a nice pool with user friendly hours. Locker rooms are a bit small, but clean.

Great upkeep of the facility and rarely packed which is why I enjoy going to the YMCA. I enjoyed it at this location until today because someone or a group of people went through lockers and stole $300 from my wallet and some stuff out of my bag. I was only there for a short amount of time, maybe 45 minutes. I get it, it happens, and it’s my fault for not having a lock. However, when I addressed to with the front desk to see if maybe they could pull footage to see if they could at least figure out who did it, they basically said there was nothing they could do. I wasn’t asking for them to start a manhunt, but at least they’d be able to identify a thief if they were still in the building considering it happened in the last 45 minutes. And I obviously know there isn’t cameras in the locker room, but there was no motivation from them in any way to help me out which is disheartening considering my money was stolen within the last 45 minutes. They could’ve at least skimmed through the footage from that last hour.

Listen, if you're looking for something that has something for everyone in the family sign up for the YMCA. We used to get KI passes for the whole family but we slowly stopped going. I did not want to spend money on something we were not using. A yearly membership to the Y is a fraction of the gold pass. Plus we have used the outdoor pool, the indoor pools, the fitness room and the rock wall! Everyone has been so nice and the guest policy is also another perk. It's definitely worth the price.

Signed up today and the beautiful wonderful lady at the desk stole my heart. I believe I have met my friendship soulmate. She greeted me with the most beautiful smile and kind voice. I could feel her most sincere energy coming off of her. She genuinely made my life better with one conversation while I signed up. I’m so happy to be attending this Y. If they have people like her working for them they must really care about their business

I enjoy the facilities there but their lifeguards and security are HIGHLY lacking. My daughter is enrolled in the preschool 1 class. She stepped into the pool while the lifeguard watched her do so. The lifeguard watched my daughter struggle to swim in the pool and hadn’t it been for us getting the teachers attention from the outside glass looking in, I don’t want to think what would’ve happened! When I called the YMCA the next day, no incident report had been filed and Danny (the director) had a very cavalier attitude about the situation as if it was commonplace. It’s a matter of time before another child drowns or safety is in great jeopardy. They lock the doors so parents can’t get in from the outside in an emergency. My wife and I are seriously contemplating canceling our membership because we don’t trust the staff and their judgment to manage the facility properly. Do better and parents, beware of the risk!! I will make sure everyone that I know knows about this so they can make an informed decision!!

Undoubtedly the best coaches and staff at any fitness studio in the area. Holding members accountable and encouraging members to push for results at their own pace. Fun and energetic.

So fun. I usually burn 500+ calories in an hour. There is also great variation in workouts to keep your body guessing. I was surprised how helpful it was during pregnancy… it felt like every class we were doing squats! And many teachers have taken prenatal specialty trainings and can provide modifications. Lots of people also come to class with injuries and ride the bike or do alternative workouts to allow their injuries to heal. They benefit from the class atmosphere and fellow classsmates encourage them. I find that 6:15am classes have the best energy, but also the longest waitlists! My only complaint is that I wish there was better understanding among coaches of how to coach pre-menopausal women. During the luteal phase this workout is too intense if you are going full speed. Premenopausal women need to know when it is appropriate to push and when they are likely to stress the body if they follow the workouts directly.

Love the coaches and members! They push me to be better and care about my health goals.

Despite the bad reviews, I actually never had a problem with this location and enjoyed my workouts. No problems with sign in, cleanliness, or nasty playlists. Coach Kylie even flexed with me when I missed some cardio since I was sitting in my car and missed some cardio due to an early start. I really appreciated that. Reading the other reviews, I DO agree that demanding $10 for a 1 time heart rate monitor loner is tacky; I'd change that policy if I were you. Perhaps have a single time comp loner for each customer. You could track it in your system.

I absolutely love working out at Orange Theory! The coaches are so positive and supportive and want to meet you wherever you are on your fitness journey! I highly recommend!!! Take a chance and try it out, I’m so glad I did!!!
