Member Testimonials
Classes are great with excellent instructors and good variety.
The staff and trainers are wonderful! The Y is clean. I like the equipment.
Great way to keep the entire family involved!
We do a ton of activities so not sure which one this is for, but we love everything, especially the instructors. We would love to see the return of a fit and fun course. Or more gym type activities for elementary age.
Friendly staff and laidback environment
It was a great experience
My daughter did a swim course with Mr Joe and she learnt a lot. Joe was very enthustastic, patient, clear at explaining things, good to motivate them. My daughter enjoyed the course so much!
The people that work there
I think the people who teach the exercises classes are wonderful. I’ve done a few classes and every single teacher has been so kind and encouraging. It makes going to the gym more fun and totally worth paying for the membership.
Support for the whole family
The customer service was very helpful
I love our pre-k activities (little movers & Swim lessons). Ms Lisa is awesome with that age group and offered engaging programs. We recently began using the stay and play at the Abingdon branch and they are all fabulous in there! My little 3 year old has done so well in there and always has a great time! We also visited the Parkville branch recently and used the exercise equipment, stay and play and LOVED the play area indoor for the little ones! I wish more branches had something like this. But at the same time, I also enjoy that I live near two branches and can go to either one so it’s a win for us! We can’t say enough good things about our experience!
Also, we love the expanded stay n play at Abingdon - well done on investing in the right things.
I enjoy going there. Everyone is friendly and nice.
Friendly helpful employees.
The staff and patrons are wonderful
Season's Greetings, to all Management & Employee's that work at the Walter Ward YMCA of Abingdon MD. Talking to everyone of you at the front-desk is a breath of fresh air.
Every employee and manager are very attentive to each YMCA members needs and has a beautiful giving bedside manner. Each perfectly understood my own personal need for my joining the Walter Ward YMCA of Abingdon, MD.
Thank you for your kindness, heart, and friendship.
Happy New Year 2024!

Everyone is kind, caring and very helpful
Kind staff & great equipment
Fun place to be and feel healthy.
The activities offered and the all year round swimming pool.
It's nice and clean. Everyone that works there are very pleasant. The only complaint I have is the pool needs to be warmer It's very cold even in the summer time.
This facility is very clean and family oriented!
The very helpful staff, especially at the front desk service area, is helpful, friendly and professional. The quality and quantity of the equipment is impressive, and the other amenities, including the amount of fitness classes, is generous.

Friendly professional instructors create a comfortable environment.
The Y has great exercise equipment and the facilities are well-kept.
Friendly and open to all people!
The staff is nice & welcoming. The Y is clean. It would be nice if the broken equipment would get fixed faster though.
