Lots of great family activities!
For the most part......clean and all equipment is in good working order. The bathrooms could use more frequent cleaning...especially the shower floors.
There's always someone available to help you when you're working out in the gym room.
The atmosphere and how much people care
Nice facility plus free childcare.
I like the flexible family swim pool hours, so my family can come together. I also like the variety of activities I am able to get my children in at a discount.
Love the staff!

  that the warm pool area is clean (women's locker room also.)
The group exercise classes- barre is my favorite
Wonderful productive place for all family members

Pleasant environment!
TRX was a great workout....I was sore for a few days! Katie is a wonderful instructor. But at $20 a session, I don't think I'll be doing it much. First name removed 🙁
SUPER facility & nice, competent employees. I love my trainer, Stacy.
The instructors are great, convenient location, low prices
Although you work to keep the equipment in working order, the audio connection for some of the cycling machines are constantly crapping out. Additionally there seems to be a high demand for single machines, near the entrance, which require a bit of a wait for your turn.
We are so lucky to live in Howard County for many reasons and the Y is one of them. The Y in Ellicott City is fabulous. The programs for kids are so good. I especially have been impressed with the people I have talked to who run the programs. Robi Gilbertson
