Member Testimonials
The peacefulness of the warm pool when it isn't crowded.
The atmosphere, staff, location and the wide range of activities for individuals and families.
I truly appreciate that when I had concerns, they were immediately addressed. I love that they have youth programs for littles as young as 3 years old. My 9 year old daughter participated in their intro to basketball and mixed sports program and is looking forward to volleyball in October. My husband and I are excited to test out the gym since we recently became members. I would recommend the Y to all families in Howard County. There are so many diverse programs to choose from at affordable prices.
Ease of access, lots of different things to do
Not enough machine stations in the gym though
Swimming classes, swimming , sauna, pickleball.
Friendly staff.
From the friendly front desk staff to the exceptionally talented instructors (Jill & Gail, for example!) to the pickleball possie, the Dancel YMCA has been the MOST welcoming community since I moved to EC 10 years ago! There is always equipment available to work on and the cleaning staff keeps the locker room & facilities in top notch condition! My home away from home! <3

This Y is more than I expected!
Our first step orientation occurred this past Sunday morning. Corey and Jamal were excellent! They were patient, showed us how to work the equipment, how to use the app.
The great energy started as soon as we walked in on Saturday. The gentleman at the front desk was pleasant and very welcoming. We experienced the same energy when we returned on Sunday. We’re excited to join this Y and look forward to all it has to offer us. I would definitely recommend this Y over any health and fitness club. I also enjoy seeing families come in with their children.
Great facility, great programs, welcoming staff for the most part.
The variety of activities offered. The helpful staff.
Friendly employees, clean environment
Great variety of classes but many are too overcrowded which creates hazards.
The classes, the people and the fellowship. I have already used up my 5 passes for bringing visitors for this year. I think I have been a consistent member for more than 10 years.

However we have been asking for the dividers in the cool pool to be removed for the overflow 10:00 water aerobic classes on Mon And Fri. Also we would love to see a deep water class added on Wednesdays at 10:00 like the Thursday class.
Please consider these requests. Thank you. 😍😘
The weight workout room and the warm pool for handicap walking laps due to poor balance.
