What do you like about your Y experience?

I like the community that the Y creates..but fix the TVs on the treadmills and the showers in the men's locker room don't all have hot water...

What do you like about your Y experience?

Vibrant atmosphere and lots of easy options for exercise. I definitely need the sauna and used to use it often at Waverly Y. Here, unlike there, unfortunately, few people use towels to sit on, so there are often huge pools of sweat left on the seat after people leave. I still use the sauna for its benefits and people are friendly. I just find a dry spot and of course use my own towel.

What do you like about your Y experience?

The salt water in the pool, the availability of lanes, and unlike the Parkville Y, a reasonably warm shower. Also the sauna. People are helpful.

What do you like about your Y experience?

I love the towson Y --- it's so clean and bright and seems more like an expensive gym than what someone would expect of a YMCA. The smoothie bar is great and my children love the pool. Ive been very happy with the childcare as well as the classes. I just have to go more often! My kids love the game room and I'm excited that my son is six now and can try the rock wall. My three year old did ballet lessons last month and my son did swimming lessons a few years back. Had great instructors both times.

What I don't love....
The water slide...My son has been begging to use it for three years now. I understand the importance of the swim test and unfortunately he still can swim the length of the big pool. He can swim though and has gone down water slides in the past. It would be great if a child could go down if a parent is waiting in the pool at the base of the slide, or even if they could use the swimmies/vest to do so. Not a big deal of course, just would be nice. : )

I drive 20 minutes to go to the Towson locations even though the Waverly one is only a few blocks from my house. The main reason is their childcare. The room is dark with fluorescent lighting and just pretty depressing all around. I only took my child once... she was still an infant . There was only one other child there and two staff members. Neither seemed very warm, one was eating fried chicken (greasy fingers) and the other one was missing many teeth (I realize how terrible that sounds! : ( ). That was over two years ago though so could be completely different. There was an excellent staff member at the Towson location, Shea, who I heard relocated to Waverly, so I may give it another chance .
