What do you like about your Y experience?

Everyone has been very kind. I wish there was a greater variety of dumbbell weights in the back room. Such as 15 & 20 pounds. Otherwise I love how clean the facility is and respectful everyone is.

What do you like about your Y experience?

I like the inclusive atmosphere, clean equipment that is regularly updated and supports a variety of exercises, and the helpful staff. The array of class offerings is also great. What I've not enjoyed lately is the Saturday morning 8am Body Pump teacher at the Orokawa center. She doesn't have voice that projects, the mic often doesn't work, she doesn't reinforce good form, she doesn't show modifications, and she lacks the energy that most Body Pump teachers have to really get you going. Her quiet energy is the most frustrating part of coming to an 8am class on a Saturday- I need teachers who pump me up and encourage me! Most do- she doesn't.

What do you like about your Y experience?

We have been Y members before and the receptionist explained our old file had to be linked to our new one and would take a day or two. She was very helpful and nice and explained things clearly.

Excellent! The Towson Y is without a question the best gym in the area. It’s clean, wonderful staff, great
equipment, family oriented. On top of that you have a pool and a sauna. What else do you want?

What do you like about your Y experience?

The facility is well maintained, the staff is friendly and helpful, and the range of programs is impressive. The monthly membership fee is starting to get a bit steep, but it remains reasonable, given all of the services. My only complaints would be:

You could use another one or two of the most popular weight machines, which tend to be backed up.

Perhaps this is just a feature of modern life, but it's frustrating to watch people get on a machine and then take a break to read their text message or check their social media feeds on their smartphone, sometimes for 5-10 minutes, while others wait to work in on those machines. I sometimes say something to someone -- and they generally are polite -- but it seems like it shouldn't be necessary.

The pool sometimes is closed when there is an electrical storm reported anywhere east of Ohio. I understand the need to be prudent, but really.
