I once attended a seminar with a friend at the Griswold Center on travel writing. We noticed we…read morewere the youngest ones there by a long shot, but didn't think much of it. Then I returned while in Worthington to gain more information and come to find out it is recreation center for senior citizens! But, I said to myself, I'll check this place out anyway because our elders want to know what's around town as well. I was told by one of the workers that a lot of people think it's like a nursing home; except it's not because no one actually lives there and it's for people ages 55 and older who are still living on their own. Even though I got some funny looks while checking out the place, I think it seems like a great little rec center. The building is bright and cheery and the old architecture is classical. Based upon their quarterly information booklets, it's quite an active place. The membership fee is cheap, at $10 annually for Worthington residents and $15 for nonresidents. With that membership people can get discounts to go on any of their planned trips to places around Columbus like the Franklin Park Conservatory, around Ohio like ski trips to Mad River Mountain (aka the Bellefontaine Bump) or to a dinner and a show at La Comedia Dinner Theatre in Dayton, and even to other states like to Almost, Maine to see the Northern Lights. A large number of events are held right at the Griswold center from seminars on armchair travel to candy making and cookie baking classes. Griswold Center also helps people with their shopping - grocery and occasionally the mall. Educational opportunities are also available, such as tax assistance, computer basics and language classes. Fitness is a pretty big thing at the Griswold Center. There is a fitness center and people can have a personal trainer or join a fitness class like Pilates, yoga, table tennis and more. Dance classes are yet another option, including line, ballet or perhaps zumba (dance aerobics). Support groups are an important asset, including Alzheimer's for those who have loved ones suffering from the disease or are suffering from it themselves, a widow and widower support group, a diabetes management support group and a host of others. Creative arts incorporates cross-stitching, drawing, watercolor painting, writing or teddy bear making. Cards and games featured are bingo, bowling, bridge, poker, billiards and mah-jongg. Health and wellness is important and the Griswold Center offers clinics, nutrition counseling and massages. I think for this I'd have to say the four stars means "good" to me. Obviously, other than that seminar, the place is not for my use.

We've been to the park and playground many times. Today Baby K needed a pitstop, and luckily the…read morerec center was open. We hoofed it over, and when we came in the lady at the counter guessed what we needed, and directed us up the ramp to the bathrooms. Which were clean. We thanked her on the way out. The place is bigger than some of the other Columbus rec centers I've been to. They seem to have lots of activities. Big parking lot. Public art at the entrance. A cool place.

I love having the Schiller rec center as an option in lieu of joining a "gym"…read more It's got everything I need: a cardio room with decent treadmills, elliptical machines, and a couple of bikes; a weight room that has recently been restocked with $50,000 worth of new equipment. Lots of circuit training equipment and free weights, and it's big enough that it never really gets crowded whatsoever. Recently I signed up for my first class- a combination of step aerobics, kickboxing, and total body conditioning. Vicki the instructor, is no joke. For $55, I get 3 hours of class per week (1.5 hours Tues and Thurs) for ten weeks. What a great deal. Oh, and it's only $75 to join the rec center for THE WHOLE YEAR. But wait, there's more! Not only does that get you in here, but you can go to ANY rec center in the Columbus parks and rec. So if this place is closed (which it is on Sunday and Monday) you can go check out any of the other centers that may be open. You can visit the parks and rec site to see what each facility has to offer in the way of fitness classes and whatnot. Check it out!

We've been switched to a new coach, who didn't show up on the first day, they had accidentally deleted my daughter from their computer program, and when it was reset, the coach was sick and then the third time the coach didn't show up. we had gone to gym skills for years and this last year we are really disappointed in their business.

This is a great place for kids to get some exercise, especially in the winter months! I like that…read moremost of the teachers are Ohio State cheerleaders, my kids get so excited to see them on TV come game time. They are great with the kids and I am impressed at how much my kids are learning. It is a little expensive, but most kids lessons are. Their calendar runs with the school year calendar, so it's easy to coordinate with most kids' schedules. They have trampolines, floor mats, a vault, bars, balance beams and everyone's favorite - a foam pit with a trapeze to swing into it.

I have taken my son and daughter to Wendy's Gymnastics year-round for a few years now, so we have…read moreexperienced what they have to offer for 1-year-olds up through age 3 (almost 4). We take classes on a weekday evening, so my review is based on that experience. I've heard weekdays are much less busy. The space is fun, safe, engaging, and appropriate for young children to learn coordination, burn some energy, and practice their listening skills. The entire floor has springs beneath it for safety and they protect metal edges with pads. It's one large room, which accommodates lots of kids at once, creating a fun energy that can also be, at times, chaotic. If your kid feeds on party atmosphere, great. If not...it will be a good lesson for them in learning to cope with more craziness than they're used to. At the start of class, all the kiddos participate in a group warm-up. The tiniest gymnasts (like my little T) do a warm up with songs and a parachute, talking about parts of their body. The older toddlers, preschoolers, and elementary kids experience a more traditional warm-up with jumping, moving, stretching, and a bit of choreography. After that, they break into smaller groups by age and spend 10 minutes at each of 3 stations doing a routine. I can't help but think it's a bit like a dog agility course!! The kids listen and watch their teacher, then go through the paces. The teachers ensure safety and work with the kids through the more challenging obstacles. Part of why we travel across town to Wendy's is that our kids can do an activity at the same time even though they're different ages. It sure beats making 2 trips! The other is the quality equipment. I love the tiny soft balance beams, but also the opportunity they have to experience full-sized official equipment. There are 3 bars, a rope, 2 rings, a large trampoline, a tumble track, a pit of foam blocks, a trapeze, 3 balance beams, a vault, a pommel horse, and much more!

This Crunch has day use lockers that you don't need to bring your own lock for, so that was convenient. They also have a good number bars for squats and deadlifts. People here seem to take their workouts seriously, and it was pretty busy still at 7:45pm during the week. I hear it's pretty crowded right after work, but I bet it's still worth a stop on the way home.

I was told by Crunch that they would be opening on December 31st, like many other people were told…read more They posted on their Facebook page on December 29th that they would be opening in two days, and then they haven't posted anything since. They do not respond to comments on their socials, and there is nothing on their website, and zero updates have been provided. I have emailed them and gotten no reply, and I tried calling but it goes straight to voicemail and you can't talk to anyone. I signed up for a membership in December as a Founding member, but haven't gotten any emails or communication since I signed up. I messaged them on Instagram and all they said was that they ran into permit issues so there is a delay for opening, but that they would be opening "so soon". No timeframe has been provided and they are leaving customers in the dark. I'm extremely frustrated because I was super excited to try the new gym, but their lack of communication/updates is a huge turn off and is very unprofessional. It makes me want to cancel my membership already. Very disappointed with how they have been handling this. All of the 5 star reviews on Google are being posted by their employees. They just posted on their Facebook an hour ago today with a generic post advertising for you to come in and restore, but they're not even open.
