My husband and I go to this YMCA primarily to swim in the inside pool, and we have always found the…read morestaff to be polite and cheerful. The pool itself has three lap lanes, which can accommodate up to six swimmers at a time. You are expected to share a lane with over three reservations. The lanes are reserved online, which insures you a spot for one hour. This means that no one needs to feel intimidated to turn over their lane. There are now several hours of lap swimming per day available. You also sign up online for pool exercise classes. The classes have a limit of spots, so you know you won't be too crowded to move around correctly. The facility is nice, and they consistently work to make it better. Even their waiting area is comfortable, with a "take a book, leave a book" bookcase! The locker room is spacious with a centrifuge machine to spin the excess water from your bathing suit, showers, and private changing booths. There is also a sauna, both the women's and the men's locker room --not coed. Oh, and the outdoor pool is HUGE and to die for!

We have our family passes on our car keys, my husband scammed us all in as we waited but the woman…read moreat the counter had zero restraint when screaming at me to ask if I scanned in when we passed by the desk. It was uncalled for and rude to scream like that even while the male employee sitting by the scanner watched as my husband scanned 4 different cards and told her he seen us scan in. This happened on the same day that my daughter and I just walked out of the restroom and a teenaged guy came walking into the women's locker room like he belonged there (June 16 or 17). The mother followed a minute behind and was complaining that their huge cooler on wheels hit the corner every time they walked through the locker rooms (so how many times has this guy walked through!?). It's disturbing to me that this is a vulnerable place for women yet this clearly male presenting 16-17 year old was comfortable walking in. The women's locker room entrance is right in front of the desk, how did the screaming employee not say a word to him but yelled at me to triple check that I signed in. I will not have to keep constant eyes on my daughter while in the locker room. The place is small, the rules are many, and the other patrons aren't ideal. Some people there expect special treatment and act out of they don't receive it. A lot of mothers dress super inappropriate and don't watch the 4+ kids they always have with them. The weight/machine room is small and people are extra rude by not wiping down anything when they're done and kids often treat the machines like toys. The pool is nice but a lot of kids (the ones being ignored by parents) aren't very well behaved and families very much enjoy blocking the pool stairs. For the cost of a membership, I expected more. I would like to see better enforcement of pool rules (indoor and outdoor), a larger workout room with more/better workout equipment, a watchful eye for the dressing room, open gym time, and just an expansion overall so it's not so cramped all of the time.

Great place to exercise and make friends and have gotten to know some of the helpful staff. There are two indoor pools. The "warm pool" amd the lap pool with 6 lanes. There is also a sauna and a whirlpool next to the lap pool. The locker room / shower area was recently rennovated. Interestingly, the cornerstone by the entrance doors says 1969. This YMCA has changed and expanded over the years. There is an air-conditioned basketball court / gym and area with exercise machines. I do not walk around with bare feet. I wear socks and sandals with good trackion (even in the shower) having learned to take care of my feet.

This is my second time rejoining this y. I originally joined in 2017 and the gym, pool, locker…read moreroom, etc were always spotless and well maintained. I rejoined expecting the same level of cleanliness and upkeep and I was wrong. Lounge chairs outside are mostly broken, pools are cloudy and are full of debris piling up on the sides (wristbands, bandages, who knows what else), locker room curtains are stained and dirty, on and on. I'm really disappointed because it is so close to my house but it seems like it's a combo of the members not caring and not watching their children/teens to ensure they are not leaving messes everywhere, and staff being complacent. I really hope they look at this and take some steps to improve.

So far so good! It's 2021 and we're slowly recovering from the panorama (yes, panorama lol). Inside…read moredining, theaters, and gyms are opening back up. The McKie Rec Center is no different. I recently moved into the area and heard about the weight room. I paid for a 3 month membership, which was $45 dollars. I believe this includes access to all Cincy rec centers but will need to test that out. The 45 bucks gives me access to the basketball court and the weight room. COVID SAFETY: For now, you have to call and schedule a time to go into either facility. They are keeping the number of people very low so I appreciate that since the weight room is fairly small. You must call and book a time on the hour for the hour. My only complaint is there isn't an online portal or email I can send, I have to call, and if you know me - I HATE calling anyone haha! Oh well. It's a great alternative for me when I'm not feeling like running outside. It's walking distance and opens up at 8am so I can get my morning burn before the day starts. Glad to have it available!

I think the Cinci Recreation Commission facilities are a great benefit to the city and fully…read moresupport their inclusion in the city budget, etc. Unfortunately there are a lot of things competing for the same funds, and certain communities draw the short straw. And, unfortunately, McKie suffers from that. Most of the equipment is old and beat up, but in working order. They are not open weekends, but they are open late enough on weekdays to get in a workout after work. McKie also lacks a few amenities that some of the better funded CRC centers have such as a running track. Now, those are a few of the negatives to get out of the way, and unfortunately they are things the folks at McKie just can't do anything about. Now, the good things. First off the people are really great. Everyone is very friendly, and not because they are looking at you like a walking commission. I have seen people being trained there, but I'm not sure how that is set up, definitely not in a high-pressure way. They have classes in martial arts and I think I've seen some women walking around with yoga mats. And the other big tradeoff for the gently used equipment is that an adult membership is only $25 a YEAR!! A main charge for the center seems to be the programs for area youth. I know there are regular and structured basketball times, and I've seen younger children occupying the front room doing arts and crafts projects. Also, in the summer, McKie hosts a number of day camp activities as well as swimming lessons. The front room also hosts community organizations such as the Community Council and acts as a jumping off point for things like the Great American Cleanup. So, as I mentioned, the CRC community centers are asked to do so many worthwhile things, and do them on a shoestring budget. The only reason I give this a 3 star review here is because if it had a bigger budget, I need room to go to 4 or 5.
