They have open swim hours which is fun for my boys. They have a few splashy elements in the pool that are on during open swim and my kids enjoy them. I've not seen an older kid drop-off/child watch area like other Ys have so if they had something for 8+ that'd be fantastic. When my youngest was little he enjoyed the child watch but he's too big for that now. I do wish they offered more fitness classes but after the pandemic things have been different everywhere so maybe in the future they'll add more.

HOF Fitness Center is a great place to work out if you can stomach the 70s paint scheme and some of…read morethe out-of-date equipment. I have been working out here for many years, off and on, and haven't had anyone shout "Fatty fatty 2x4" for some time so the place must be effective. They have a smattering of racquetball courts and there are some very, very, very sweaty men in them sometimes. I like to pretend they are just sweaty fish in a giant aquarium and that helps me cope. The locker rooms (at least the guys) is well appropriated and has shaving cream, after shave, etc. and gives off a very "old guard" feel. Upstairs they have a weight room which seems to have a 20:1 guy to girl ratio, which freaks my date out a bit from time to time but no "tough guys" have given her any problems. Check it out, they have an indoor running track. I think that it's 1/10 of a mile so if you use it you get the feel of running around a giant banyan tree. On an island in the middle of the running track (sounds more exotic than it is) they have all the cardio equipment. They have a cute little board that you can use to sign up for equipment and there is this guy named "Cookie" who works out there and my date always changes the i-dot in "Cookie" to a heart when she can, which we find to be a really good time. Give "Cookie" a shout out if you see him; he's a crusty looking, shorter fellow. You'll know what I mean if you see him. The good thing is that there is never much of a crowd here so you can pretty much use whatever equipment you want when you want it. However, here is the highlight of the HOF Fitness Center: you know those fat-shakers that are basically like a big rubber band that you put around your midsection and don't appear to have any fitness value whatsoever but are always featured in workout videos from the 50's? THEY HAVE ONE OF THOSE! We saw a guy using it one day in all seriousness and it's probably one of the best things I've ever seen in my entire life. The facility is fairly large and also has both an indoor and outdoor pool, saunas, whirlpool, tennis and basketball courts and even batting cages. They also have a little restaurant so if you overdid it during the workout you can get your sea legs back. The classes that they offer are great and the teachers I've encountered are all very friendly. I don't have a monthly membership now but when I've been in town they have let me pay a per visit fee ($5, I think?). It's a great place to work out. The $5 is worth it alone if you see someone using that fat-shaker or if you have a "Cookie" sighting.

I was looking for a crossfit gym in Canton because I enjoy working out and currently do crossfit at…read moreanother gym out of state. I liked that this gym has free drop-ins and was relatively close to where I live. When I walked in I was not greeted, instead I had to introduce myself and find my way around the gym. I began to do some stretching and grabbed a bar so that we could start class. The instructor was poor. She was anything but a coach. One of the things I like about crossfit is the team-like mentality and the coaching. This had no such thing. The instructor basically read the board to us. She did not demonstrate any of the moves and she did not check for form. When the WOD began, I was struggling with hang cleans as I normally do them with dumbbells. I had to ask for help and when I did she didn't really explain anything. Instead, she said "well you can do them the way you do them since you are more comfortable that way". As we got into the workout she was on her phone, talking to people who had just walked in, and cheering on the people she knew. She did not come check on me, or pay my form any mind. Needless to say, I doubt I'll be back.

They are very attentive to our family's needs and wishes whether it is dietary or medical. They also keep us notified and updated on meals, nap times, bathroom, learning activities, etc their Brightwheel App, which is awesome! They also occasionally update us with pictures and videos of activities which always brings a smile to my face seeing my little one interact with the other children. Another huge plus for me is their hours! Being that they close at 630PM, it allows plenty of time after work to run any type of errand I need to before picking her up. I will add that I never or hardly ever need to but if I did I would be good! Definitely schedule a visit and see for yourself! The location is great also! Thanks Childtime!
