What do you like about your Y experience?

I use many Y activities and programs, including the pool, cardio room, E-gym and book group. I have been a member for about 35 years and the Y is a central part of my life. My husband had long hesitated joining the Y and even he has now joined and has become a huge fan of the Y.

What do you like about your Y experience?

Our experience as new members of the Y has been outstanding! From the initial member ship intake to use of all the activities, all our interactions with Y staff and volunteers has been extremely positive. It has a great neighborhood feel, but at he same time, extremely professional. Facilities are clean and modern and varied by areas of interest and level of competency. Love it!

What do you like about your Y experience?

love the people & the environment. As I mainly use the pool, I wish the lifeguards patrolled the swim lanes a bit better. There are people who just jump in a lane that already has 2 swimmers in it & expect others to swim around them. I think this is more due to not knowing the rules rather than disregard for others.
If the pool schedule could be posted in the locker room would also be helpful, as it seems the schedule on the website isn't as up to date as it could be.

What do you like about your Y experience?

The facilities are great!
I also enjoy the group fitness classes.
I wish there were more text updates about pool closures-- twice in the past month I have arrived at 5:20 am to learn that the pool is closed. One the time the open time was estimated to be 6 am but when i returned at 8:45 it was still closed (and there hadn't been an update)

I appreciate:
the helpfulness of Crystal in processing our payment
the enthusiasm of Bill's greetings on Mondays and Fridays
the warm greetings and hard work that Zoe' brings to the Y every day (she seems to be there every morning that I am!)
the early morning dedication of all of the life guards

What do you like about your Y experience?

Tour was very informative, and the facility is exceptional! I was at the Y for the first time last night. The weight room and cardio were packed. It was difficult to get a good workout in because I was waiting for machines. Since everyone registers electronically it would be nice to post on the website some kind of meter/capacity, which will allow people to choose when to come.

What do you like about your Y experience?

Our family has enjoyed the classes and facilities at the YMCA in Towson. Our only note of improvement would be that the communication from the Director of the Swim Program has not been good. It has been confusing and often times I do not get a response when I have sent emails with questions.
