This rec center is an absolute beast. As someone who loves to work out at recreation centers and…read morehas been to many throughout her life, this one takes the cake as one of the cleanest, most modern, and largest. It has an indoor fitness pool, an outdoor pool (looks like mostly designed for families with kids), an ice skating rink, a huge weight lifting and cardio machine area, multiple group fitness rooms, and a full-sized basketball court (that they use temporary drapes to turn into multiple courts for pickelball or pick-up basketball). There's probably more I'm missing. I've never actually walked through the entire place. They have a ton of community and fitness programming for the area. From 8 to noon then 4 to 9 most evenings, they have different fitness classes going on. They aren't just your basics either. They have enough TRX bands to support TRX classes or some of their strength-based classes use workout areas they've had installed. They have lots of spinning bikes and classes the support them. I've never actually encountered any machine or part of the fitness center that didn't work. Everything is well-maintained, and I've never even encountered an empty cleaning spray bottle before. The biggest "issue" I've had is when the water tastes a bit off because the red-light says the filter needs to be replaced on the water fountain. Prices aren't cheap, but they aren't expensive either. When a yoga class elsewhere will cost me $40, it's only $11 here at Kettering. If you get one of their multi-class passes or a membership, it's even cheaper on a per-class basis. They have lots of kids camps and kids activities including some homeschooling group play classes and more. I haven't paid much attention to the kid things, but I know they have some! Great spread of bodies and ages here too. You'll mostly see older adults, and it's really refreshing to see a ton of different types of people instead of the college-aged adults. Everyone here is super friendly, and it's clear a lot of the community uses this place as a great place to see and hang out with friends while staying active. Huge parking lot, but if there's a lot going on (like a kid's hockey meet), there have been a few times I've been unable to find a single parking spot in this beast of a parking lot. Bathrooms are clean too.

I love the Kettering Rec Center! That place made my whole childhood and early teenage life THE…read moreplace to be kids. I feel it allows kids to try something/sport they may want to pursue as a lifelong dream but wouldn't know where to start. Basketball, Running, swimming, pickleball, volleyball, ice skating, ice hockey, and a lot more but I'm sure I've forgot. Just such a great place for the whole family to go. Who else misses when the middle school mascot was a wildcat?

I'm from Cincinnati area but was visiting family in Dayton in July and me and my cousin decided to…read morego here. It was a different atmosphere than Cincinnati and Kentucky rinks. It was cool though, more outgoing, more laid back. There was a lot of people doing dance skating and jumps. One annoying thing I noticed, There were groups of people that would be in the middle of the rink, not in the center area but right smack in the middle of where everybody is skating, and they would be doing a dance in one spot where everybody was trying to skate. That was kind of annoying and that would never fly in Cincinnati rinks! If you weren't careful you might plow right into them. And if you are skating they won't move out of your way, you're expected to go around them! It would be ok if they went into the center circle but they don't, they are out where everybody is skating. I was told by an experienced skater that this is "Dayton style skating" and every city has a different style of skating. The other thing that I didn't like was that there are no refills on water, even if you reuse the same cup! I asked the owner about this because I drink a lot of water and my rink in Cincinnati gives free refills as long as you use the same cup, but he said he couldn't do that. So if you drink water plan on paying for each refill! The rink floor is very slick as well, you can tell because of how shiny it is. A few times I felt my skates sliding sideways when going around curves. I ended up falling here and I hadn't fell in a long time. I fell right on my tailbone hard and it's been 4 weeks now and I'm still having pain. Either cracked or bruised my tailbone. So take precaution and maybe slow your wheels if you come here. I loved the music they played which is mostly hip hop and R&B and the atmosphere was very cool and different than what I'm used to. Three guys were doing jump after jump after jump and I asked them if I could record them and they happily let me. Everybody was very friendly. The owner seemed like a nice guy. I loved the light show and they kept the lights off most of the time so you can appreciate the lights and I think there are black lights too. I can't rate the food because all I got was water. Overall I would come back here if I was in the area again.

We recently had my daughter's birthday party at Orbit Fun Center. It's a great place to take a…read morelarge group of 5 and 6 year olds because even if they can't skate Orbit has video games and a bounce house. We had 10 children and it ended up costing right around 100 dollars. This was including pizza,bounce house,party area and skate rental. The only two negatives are that they only offer pepperoni pizza,so if you have picky eaters they are kind of out of luck. Also,the later it got the harder it was for the little kids to skate safely. There were lots of (well behaved) middle and high school kids going too fast for beginning skaters.

As we all know, YMCA come in a variety of packages and refreshes. Some are swanky and recently…read morerenovated (Cincinnati Ohio had a huge overhaul in 2020) while others are a little more rustic with older buildings that feel like part maze part school and equipment that has seen several trips around the sun. The Fairborn Y sits somewhere in the middle. Not new, not dilapidated. The free weight room is a converted racquetball court. The exercise machines are all in great condition, but feel squished together into one smaller room, so that when you are using the chest fly machine, you can feel the breath of the guy on the leg press machine and the grunts of the barbell warrior vibrate in your chest. It is close quarters, but everyone is polite. The locker rooms are located in a back hallway and up a couple steps and I don't know about accessibility options, but it is also tight quarters in the locker rooms, especially the bathrooms. Two stalls are jammed into a corner, so plan your potty visits with time to spare. It definitely gets the job done and you can get a great workout in if you already know what you are doing. But for people new to the gym or to working out, I think they could do a better job of making you feel welcome and making it clear who you can go to for questions if you have them. The front desk folks were friendly, but the three times I have been there so far, the staff member in the weight room is on the computer or their phone and doesn't even look up to acknowledge people who are at the water cooler 3 feet away. I'm not entirely sure they ARE an employee. All in all, it is a solid workout and a fine stop if you find yourself in town. You can't beat the YMCA network and as I travel all over, I am grateful to have a place to get my sweat on.
