In an economy on the decline, the rec centers of Columbus should be the first place you go to get…read morein shape or take hobby classes on the cheap. My wife and I have signed up and started taking the 3-day per week 3-month aerobics class. The cost was a mere $35.50 per person ($1 leisure card, good per family). That's a great deal by any means. The instructor is fun, the class works you out for a good hour, and best of all it's close to my house. Aerobics isn't the only recommendation, they have a weight room available for $20 per year, and a whole host of other classes, from musical to creative. One star off for the seemingly lax policy on parents that drop their kids off here for "day care"

The park has been reviewed, but not just the YMCA. And while it is set in a nice park and is…read morepretty new, this Y is odd. Small. Like, brand new but tiny. Parking is set back a bit to allow for some trees and grass, and a small aviation memorial including a stone for the Challenger crew and a bench for North American Aviation. The building looks big from the front, but is wide though not deep. The workout area faces the front with nice big windows, and looks big- till you realize one wall is a big mirror, and the actual weight/machine area is tiny. Like, smaller than any other Y in town tiny. They have to put some machines in the halls. In a new building? Who designed this? Still, brand new machines in a clean space. Other areas in the building for cooking, daycare, classes, etc. Friendly staff. Just a weird setup, and though I'd come if I lived nearby, it is not worth any kind of trip.

This is a fun bowling alley in Gahanna. The lanes are in good shape and it feels fairly clean…read more The staff is pretty laid back and doesn't really seem to care to be there but had no issues. They were doing some ceiling work in the arcade area but has a small arcade. There is a bar and some classic bowling alley food options. This is a fun evening out with friends or family.

This place is a dump! I visited for a volleyball tournament and this is the worst complex(if you…read morecan call it a complex) I have been to. It feels like you are in someone's garage. It is loud, freezing, the lights blink on and off, and four toilets for a tournament. The wait line to use the restroom is 15min+ and then the toilets are clogged and standing waste on the floor. How this place hasn't been shut down by the health department is amazing. Volleyball tournaments should NOT be played here!
