Member Testimonials
Maintenance in the men's locker room at Ellicott City Y is terrible. Drains in the showers do not drain properly. I have brought this to staff's attention and nothing has been done. The water valves in the showers need replacement. You can't fully turn them off so water runs continuously. You are wasting hundreds of gallons of water each day. Many of the lockers are damaged and are difficult to open.
Generally maintenance is terrible and when you report something, rarely is it repaired and if it is, it takes many weeks.
Staff is nice, yoga instructor, Gail, is great!
Clean, inviting, easy to access classes
Parents night out, gym, hours of operation. I wish there were more individual swim lessons available for kids and adults.
Many choices
Trisha classes are excellent!
Where do I begin? The variety of classes, pickleball availability, the friendly staff, the clean facility, etc. If I need to put my membership on hold due to an illness, surgery or injury, it's never a problem. Also, the socialization. I have so many friends there that I never feel like the only one there.
Proximity to my home
I enjoy the Y especially as a mom being able to drop off my kids to work out without worrying about them. It makes it much more manageable to get active especially in the winter months.
The staff is friendly!
The Y is such a bargain compared to every other gym I've been to! The variety of classes and equipment is impressive! I enjoy yoga and you just don't get the number and variety of classes without belonging to a separate and very expensive studio. Most importantly, you really do get the sense that this organization is truly involved in and cares about the community it serves. 110% thunbs up!
Various activities to participate in to stay active.
Always helpful, no matter what the question!
The classes are good and the staff members are friendly.
A great majority of the staff members are very welcoming and ready to resolve issues. While the cleaning has improved over the past few months, more work needs to be done. As example, one area of the fitness center was covered with dirty spots. The ladies room needs attention following the water exercise sessions. The floor becomes slippery & a potential hazard to those with disabilities. I've been a member for four years & have been working with Stacy Yoo as my trainer. Both she & Jamal have been especially helpful over the years.
