Member Testimonials
I like the YMCA because it’s very inclusive. It doesn’t matter what age you are, race, or gender. Everyone is respectful regardless of your fitness level. There are tons of classes in both the mornings and evenings; 7 days a week, That includes classes for older adults. The aquatics facility is premier.
Everything you need is right there
I thoroughly enjoy the Water Fitness classes at the Catonsville Y. Roberta is an awesome instructor, challenging us and changing the routine to keep things fresh.
Great classes with Cristina sand Colleen and Stacy!
Very friendly kind atmosphere
Convenience
Friendly staff
Positive vibes everywhere. I need to make myself become part of the community, but I am an extreme introvert and it will take time.
Established in the community with great instructors in a variety of classes. Generally friendly staff and welcoming. Only two suggestions I have: add some additional classes for some more variety such as offered by Elliott City Y; secondly, would very much appreciate requirement that members are in class within 5 minutes of start time- it's not only rude to the instructor when entering late but also participants as it interrupts the flow. Particularly for yoga!

Love the Community feel. Rachel has been a great help with getting my family acclimated to all the programs and offerings. So glad we joined!
I get to work out and I also can work on volleyball at their gym.
The people working there are knowledgeable, friendly, and enthusiastic.
I primarily use the fitness room and I've always been able to use equipment (no waiting) and they are doing a great job keeping it updated. The atmosphere is a no judgement zone and the staff are very friendly.
I love the YMCA. Nice Gym, great friendly staff.
Community oriented.
Great equipment
Sense of community. I have worked at a couple of gyms in Central Maryland and recently we were members of Columbia association. I was looking for that same sense of belonging. Mary Grace take care of me from day one! So glad to become a member. Our first night there as a family our youngest son had a total breakdown crying because he didn’t want to leave. That’s a good sign!
I like my Y experience because of the ther enviornment. Everyone there is friendly and it feels like family whenever I am ther.

The Y has been there for me. I haven’t always taken advantage of its service. I appreciate the programs and have tried new things there. Thanks

I love having the Stay and Play as an option and all the family programming they offer.
