The variety of equipment and courses offered.
Recently started using the Catonsville Y and I must say, so far so good! I am really enjoying the group fitness boot camp classes with Christina. The classes are around my family’s schedule so it’s a win-win. Thank you for allowing members of other y to use other facilities in the area.
Rachel is a great swim instructor and our kids continue to learn so much from her!
I enjoy the fitness classes and the machines.
My children took semi-private swim lessons with Rachael teaching, and they gained lots of confidence and skills!
I love the group class instructors!
I have been a member of the Catonsville YMCA for approximately 5 years. I have met new friends and we have become like family. The staff is always there to help my family. The classes that I attend have been very helpful in me staying healthy. I am also appreciative of the senior program that they offer. My family enjoys the time we can spend at the YMCA during family hours, The workout equipment is always on target. I go to the YMCA two to three times a week and spent at least three hours there, It is well worth the time. Thank You Catonsville YMCA for allowing the Bridgeforth family for becoming apart of you.
We love the parents night out concept. It is a great perk of our membership.
I truly enjoy my water aerobic swim class which has been greatly improved. The staff is welcoming, there are numerous opportunities to develop a healthy lifestyle.
We love it!
great staff
meets all my needs. Great staff
convenient & friendly
I like the available hours, even on holidays. I especially like thoughtfully prepared group exercise classes that work well for people with different abilities such as those taught by Christina and Paula. I would like to see some low impact aerobics offerings. Most women my age and older don't come to bootcamp because the moves are too intense, and I have to substitute a lot of the time. Also, those classes are too crowded. We need another option for cardio besides spin or step. I would also like more yoga classes (those get too crowded also) and a barre class like they have at Dancel. I find myself going there for classes regularly now for choices like barre, HIIT, and pilates that we don't have in Catonsville.

Wonderful environment, experience and staff
Group exercises
classes are great, the equipment/ space is great.
Wish that you could please purchase another step machine ( the one that as the real moving steps) - there is too much competition for this one machine.
Thanks!

It has a pool, gym, exercise machines, and fitness classes for everybody. This year they offer discounted memberships for seniors.
My son did 4 private lessons with Rachel. He went from a red band to a green band and was confidently swimming by the end of the third lesson. I was very impressed!

Ryan was really welcoming and helpful. Based on his attitude and hospitality I would recommend the Catonsville Y in a heartbeat.
