    Beautiful, clean venue. Just began swim lessons here with my child and I am really excited to go…read moreback again next week. The pool is large, clean, bright, and well-designed. I appreciate that there is a separate pool for baby swim lessons. Locker rooms were clean also. I really liked our instructor, although I believe she was just filling in and we may get a different instructor next week. Either way, I am very much looking forward to my child growing up knowing how to swim. I learned to swim when I was very young, and it feels important that my child learns this skill too.

    I called ahead to confirm pool hours before making the trip, and was given information that turned…read moreout to be completely inaccurate upon arrival -- the pool was closed. That alone is a frustrating waste of time, but what happened next was far more disappointing. When I attempted to use a day pass for pool access -- an option clearly advertised on their own website -- staff refused to honor it. No explanation, no attempt to find a solution, no offer to sign me up for a membership that would have allowed access. Instead, I was told to "go to a public pool." Let that sink in. A paying customer, attempting to use a service the organization publicly advertises, was turned away and redirected to a public pool -- with zero effort made to retain my business or treat me with basic dignity. The experience felt deeply unwelcoming, and the manner in which I was dismissed did not feel coincidental. As a Black woman, being turned away without options, without alternatives, and without even the courtesy of a membership offer -- while others were not treated the same way -- speaks to a larger culture issue within this location. The YMCA markets itself as a community organization built on inclusion and access for all. This location's staff did not reflect those values on this day. Leadership needs to seriously examine how their staff engages with customers of color, retrain accordingly, and ensure that what is on their website is actually honored at the door. I have documented this experience and am following up through the appropriate channels. This is not the end of this conversation. If I could give it zero stars I would.

    I dropped by for a workout today, super friendly staff and great equipment!…read more Music was pretty loud, but great gym!

    My regular readers know i am a stingy old scrooge when it comes to five star ratings. Impress me…read more Zephyr's Fitness has earned its stripes in my opinion. Here is why: Before heading over to Northern Ohio i did A-LOT of research on gyms. Cooked them all down into two possibilities. One near the office up by Cleveland and one near Orville OH. All of the others are weight loss focused. Not weight training. Think squat racks, deadlifts, weights crashing, and soaked shirts. I better stop there before i digress into something not suitable for those with weak hearts and young children. Let's talk about the owner. To know the owner is to know the gym. This is a man with a solid physic, quite demeanor, with a deep well of determination and focus. He is an integral member of the community from what i can tell. The kind of person everyone should have in there life for all sorts of good reasons. He is often present. Either working out himself or getting to know his members. Often both simultaneously from what i have noticed. Be prepared for him to introduce himself at some point. Maybe you can beat him to it and introduce yourself. So good friendly energy at this gym. The gym is carved up into a few different areas. The main gyms is surrounded by a track for laps or to walk off stiff muscles. The middle is halved by an area that is often used to push or drag weights, lunges and other exercises that requires some room to roam. The front section isolation machines and cardio machines. All new and in great shape. Minimal duplicate machines are available if it gets busy but so far it has not been an issue. The second half is free-weights. With three squat racks, hack squat, small leg press, two smith machines, six assorted bench presses. and other equipment. Lots of action in this area. It is open and welcoming without feeling like your on display. The "Jungle" is a walled off area behind a large industrial but windowed garage door. This area is for those on a mission. The chalk can be found here. Along with loud noises, heavy weight, and worn machines. Each has likely seen a lot of blood,sweat and tears offered up on there alters over the years. The section next to it has a warmup area, at least that how i use it. Stretching, some machines, some tired jump-ropes, bands and so on. Next to this area is the cross fit area. This is in effect another whole building to which i will have to defer to someone who knows it better than I. The gym has a good sound system that plays some decent 80's. There are nooks to store your stuff. Lockers are available but i am not sure how that all works. The front desk is staffed M-F. But weekend coverage is iffy at best. BUT and this is a big BUT, is the doors are locked and you cannot get in without a token. You only get a token if your monthly member. So what about us daily folks you ask. We are F@%$!. Yep, say a prayer and hope someone see's you awkwardly pressing your face up against the one-way glass from the outside. Wave and knock and make all kinds of motions. That's what i do. I try and make it totally awkward for everyone inside trying there best not to see or acknowledge me. It really gets fun when a member comes walking around the corner and beeps in. It must be pretty funny for those driving by as well. I try and put on a good show. Waiting for the police to show up to haul me off. So a word of warning... you may not want to gulp down your pre-workout until you know you can get in if your a daily like me. So call and make sure. Sometime the phone lines go straight to VM on Saturday. Sunday nobody is there to let you in. Once your in you can pay the 10 bucks. But getting through those doors is a craps shoot on the weekend at least. Given the limited options for those committed to training, Zephyr's is a keeper. Worthy of my 30 minute commute each way to partake in its offerings.
