I recommend the Y all the time! I love that it is full of all types of people: different ages, races, genders, fitness levels, and abilities. I also love the group fitness classes. They really work well with my busy schedule.
Love the Y, equipment is adequate for weightlifting which is my main concern. I used to go to the one in Ellicott City, but a strange creepy guy who seems to live there, always there when I go no matter what time of day, has discouraged me from going there anymore. It seems strange, but there's also a man at Catonsville Y who seems to be there every single time my family comes, he doesn't really do many actual exercises, but he occupies a piece of equipment, usually the squat rack, for so long that other people just give up trying to get on it. This guy always wears the exact same clothes, every single day, and all he does is stand under the squat rack, mumbling to himself, or staring at people, really creepy. Every single time my family has come there, usually Saturday or Sunday, this strange man is there. We have a standing bet between us if he's going to be there or not, and we're up to about double or nothing for the 10th time...lol, and he's always wearing the exact same clothes. I don't know if he owns the Y or lives under it or across the street, but its really creepy the way he acts and how he's there every single time we're ever come there. Thank god we are also members of another gym nearby, because there are some creepy individuals at both Ellicott city and Catonsville Ys.
The friendly staff and availability of cardio equipment and swim lap lanes makes working out fit my schedule and lifestyle perfectly!
Pleasant environment and really friendly staff members plus everything I need to sweat and stretch and feel like a newly revived person when I leave 😍 Thanks for all you do!
many activities for youth and adults. Just wish there was a basketball court at catonsville
Meeting with my trainer. She has helped me increase my strength, balance and coordination. I’ve also have lost 10 inches off of my waist.
Overall, I enjoy the atmosphere and the excellent staff at the Y along with meeting fellow members.
Friendly staff, clean gym, good parking, and conveniently located.
Love the Zumba classes- great music and insorational teachers!!
Treadmills
Awesome I love everything about why. The fitness workouts is great.
The instructors and trainers, actually all Y staff are great people.
Great program, swim, movie, arts& crafts.
I especially like the feeling of community when you walk in the door. At this time, I am only taking gentle yoga with Carol and I love the class. The participants are friendly, caring and helpful and Carol is the best. She makes the class fun and beneficial to the body. Once in a while we will sign up for a family night with our 3 year old granddaughter. She has enjoyed herself and it gives us an activity to share with her.
Good workout, clean.
I love everything from the friendly staff like Mary Grace, Dawn, James to the super equipment like the PowerMill! Say, can we invest in a couple more of those Power Mills?? :-) I know they are pricey but it is popular and in high-demand.
Thank you for making our new experience at the Y so special and memorable- we love it. God bless you all and enjoy the spring weather!

Having a clean room to shower and change in always a plus! Keep up the great work!
I was invited to come try Tuesday Thursday boot camp with Christina. Loved the class! Also loved the fact that the class was not crowded & didn’t require a ticket like the Ellicot city Y. I haven’t had opportunity to use any other services but looks nice and cozy, esp with the fireplace as you enter in waiting area. Thank you & hope to visit soon!
I just enjoy the me time w/so many outlets available to experience which I need to do more. The Y gives you a family fun filled place to spend active but yet quality time w/each other.

Friendly and knowledgeable staff, terrific equipment, convenient location, opportunities to participate in community activities.
