Kohl Family YMCA 477 East Market Street, Akron, OH 44304

"My family and I were visiting from out of town overnight, and this location was so accommodating to our situation. The staff were incredibly welcoming, and the overall experience was pleasant! Shoutout to Gio who works at the front desk. His generosity made my family's evening!"

"One of the best pools in the ymca suite of facilities. There gym and aerobic area is set up the best of all the ymca's"

"My kids took swimming lessons from this location. The swimming lessons were hit-or-miss largely depending on the instructor. I also feel that kids are just pushed through to each progressive class whether, or not, they should be. The facility itself was nice, clean, and the equipment was functional. In the gym equipment all looked clean and functional. There are several family changing rooms in addition to locker rooms for storing your stuff (bring your own lock) and cleaning up after a workout.

"I’ve been going to this specific YMCA for probably about the whole 10 years or more it’s been there and I want to say I love the Kohl Family and everything they’ve done for our community. The Ymca was responsible for keeping me and a lot of others out of trouble and even were nice enough to provide food drinks and games along with the open gym etc. During the last 3 years or so me and a few lifelong friends who have also been coming to this YMCA for a very long time when we come we are kindve treated like criminals instead of family..very understandable that you have to ensure the safety of the building and employees and members. I just feel the check-in process is a little intense sometimes when SOME (older) employees are there. We come in peace and to stay out of trouble play ball and have a good time like we’ve done for years and although it’s not personal it sometimes seems a bit targeted. We were here during the foundation of this specific YMCA we were almost the reason it was built and we were apart of the rise we just want everyone to feel welcomed. Especially us and other young men who come to look for a safe zone to do something productive. -The Fellas from the neighborhood. (THANK YOU TO THE KOHL FAMILY FOR IT ALL AGAIN)"
