What do you like about your Y experience?

I was hesitant to invest in a gym membership due to the lack of child care services at other gyms. I was so excited to sign up at the Y because of the stay and play. It’s such a helpful benefit. I’m so thankful for the workers that watch our children for us while we workout!

I love being there and seeing people that I know! The staff is always welcoming! My only suggestion is can we open before 7am on the weekends?

The water fitness classes are all wonderful. I try to attend several classes a week. The instructors are outstanding. The pool is mostly clean and at proper temperature. The staff in the lobby are like friends. I feel very comfortable. Parking is a problem sometimes.Samantha Downs is doing a fabulous job.

The clean establishment, friendly staff, and a variety of activities for kids of various ages are just some of the reasons that I would recommend the Y. Our 13 year old enjoyed the Teen Night with friends. He is looking forward to the next one.

What do you like about your Y experience?

I recently had an outstanding experience at the Y in Ellicott City. The staff greets you with genuine enthusiasm, and the gym—including all equipment—is always clean and well maintained. On one of my visits, I misplaced my phone, and the Find My Phone app showed the Y as its last known location. The staff stayed in near real‑time communication with me until they found my phone, which I truly appreciated.

I highly recommend this facility—not only for its programs and dedicated team but also for the way management worked hard, asking members to keep their membership so that the management could keep their staff during the Covid 10 pandemic. To me, that is real social responsibility.

What do you like about your Y experience?

I like swimming laps in the warm pool the best. Having had a right knee and hip replaced, I find the ladders built into the pool walls to be difficult to navigate. The steps into the warm pool eliminate that problem. After watching other seniors struggle with those ladders, I know that I'm not the only person who has difficulty with them.
