Y
The staff is very friendly. I like the hours (5:30 a.m. until 10:00 p.m.).
Convenient, reasonably priced, variety of programs.
Great welcoming environment with plenty of well-maintained exercise equipment for users of all levels of fitness. The facility is large and well lit and there are cans with sanitizing wipes throughout to wipe down the equipment after use. I haven’t attended any of the swim exercise classes but those and the yoga classes are another reason I joined.
I love that there is something for everyone at the Y. Our whole family has something to do.
Nice facilities, friendly staff.
very healful A lot of activities there’s hot coffee & tea...staff are nice
At least one member of my family is at the Y every. single. day. We utilize the gym equipment, group exercise classes, swim lessons, and stay and play (without which we would never be able to fit a workout in). We love being part of the Y family!
Very family friendly. Staff extremely nice. My daughter's swim coach, Coach Zuri is amazing. Such a good asset to the CATY Barracudas!
I like the friendly staff who make me feel welcome.
Social people you meet!
Customer service is very helpful and understanding.
Much help and support is also provided at the Y preschools too. They always have a fun family night scheduled once a month! Its an overall great experience for my kids!
The family center is great too! My kids never want to leave the family center or the BASE program! They have so much fun!!!
I love the Y because the pool is where I get pain free exercise required by my doctor to help my osteoarthritis. Joan is a caring and inspirational teacher. The unexpected bonus at this Y is the kind and friendly Christian women I have met in the pool. My quality of my life is better because of my experiences at The Catonsville YMCA. I thank the helpful staff who always greet me with a smile, decorate the center so brightly, and who treat seniors with free drinks and food regularly.
I look forward to many years at the Y.

The location is conveniently located, it has a large selection of excercise machines, it has a very nice pool and shower and locker room and the instructors are helpful
El personal es muy amable y me explican lento y claro porque yo no hablo muy bien Inglés.
Welcoming setting, inclusive, good array of fitness classes, and it’s conveniently located in my community.
My only issue relates to cleaning the floors which could be better maintained.
Friendly staff, clean bathrooms!
Family atmosphere; friendly staff, community engagement (a deciding factor in our membership)
I love the Y staff! The fitness instructors are fantastic - especially Paula, Kalindi and Natasha!
All the various events/offerings - stay and play, Y camp, childcare on holidays and evenings; the hours; the pool
For the most part everyone is welcoming and friendly and makes you feel at home at the Y. The classes are great and I take a wide variety of classes- body pump, boot camp, cycle, yoga, circuit training, etc... I would like to point out that there are a few ladies at the front who are the opposite of welcoming and friendly. It is consistent that these two ladies are cold, unwelcoming and short with me. I actually had a friend decide to not join the Y because of one of them. Also, the text alerts while helpful could use some improvement- more accuracy and also it is necessary to notify when there will be a sub and when as a result of a sub, the class will actually be a different class all together. Other than those comments I love the Y, it’s clean, welcoming and motivating!
The friendliness of the staff. The helpfulness of the staff. The cleanliness of the center. The availability of the equipment and pool when I am available.
The facility is very clean and welcoming when you arrive. The locker rooms are well maintained and the staff are great! I appreciate the kids Stay and Play so the adults can exercise. The variety of classes are great and the communicate on bad weather days is great! It's a true, family-friendly place that tailors to the well-being of all ages.
It's the best location I've been to in my area
It's a great place to feel comfortable about your body. Everyone is relaxed and not all concerned about the way they look.
I like the community atmosphere. The peaceful, tranquil morning vibe. The families that are there on the weekends. The condition of the equipment. The helpfulness of the employees.

The people
I enjoy the swimming class. The employees are very kind. There is only one thing that bothers me. The women's locker room is freezing cold after the pool. I'd like to walk back into a comfortably warm environment to shower and dry off in; otherwise the experience is great!
Times, how I feel after a workout, no one really bothers me, stiff at my own pace
