Great
I am very happy that the Y has aqua exercise classes. The teacher, Rebecca, is excellent. I feel very safe with the Covid-19 restrictions in place. The class cannot be over crowded as you have to register and all safety precautions are being carried out.
Enhanced cleaning procedures and availability of wipes and sanitizer for self cleaning as well. Recommended y to friend yesterday

I love going to the Y.. the staff greet everyone with a smile .. the facility is not crowded. Plenty of room for social distancing.. very clean with great positive energy..
Plenty of equipment. I feel safe. The atmosphere is friendly. The facility has so much room.
I love the spin classes and Pickleball. The Y has adopted Covid protocols so that I feel safe while enjoying these offerings.
Everyone at the Catonsville Y is so personable, helpful and friendly!
The staff at the front desks are amazing. They are kind, polite and helpful.
I love Anthony’s friendly face when I come in on Tuesday/Thursday. Kelly Whites is by far the best instructor I’ve ever had, and I’ve been coming to the YMCA for 14 years. I’ve made some good friends at the YMCA. Very much look forward to my classes each week. I can’t wait till aqua Zumba starts again. Love this place!

Professional, efficient, friendly staff. I love the water aerobics class!!
I love the pickleball program. Charlie is a big reason why. Very well organized and ample times to play. The Y is always clean and the people are very nice.
It was good to be back at the YMCA center and my kids enjoyed the fit and fun class. I did use the treadmill and noticed that 3-4 young people look like age in 20s doing weight together and not wearing the masks correctly. since young people can be asymmetric and still be transmittable appropriate mask-wearing should be advised in a friendly manner.
Great staff, friendly & very responsive to member needs. It's not easy running a facility during the pandemic, but the Howard County Y is doing the best job I can imagine. It is much appreciated!
Communication, Covid protocol in place, friendliness of staff, variety of activities
