Member Testimonials
The teachers are professional, knowledgeable, friendly and helpful.
I like the facilities which are kept clean. Easy parking. Warm and friendly environment.
Reasonably priced.
I like to do my exercises in the pool since I have developed COPD. I also have issues with my hips and legs and the family changing area is very easy for me to use. I like the availability of the parking and the cleanliness of your building.
Clean. Open and airy space. Friendly employees
They have pickleball
I love attending classes at the Y as well as working out on my own. I am a retired teacher and can now attend classes during the day which is preferable to working all day and then trying to come. I especially like the body pump class and attend Monday, Friday and Saturday. For better training and muscle development a Monday, Wednesday and Friday class would space out training sessions and be a positive improvement for those who come to the Y on a regular basis. Retired people and people who don't work make up a portion of the membership. We have requested this class be added for some time and we understand that it is difficult to find qualified teachers however we are aware of a qualified teacher who wants to teach this class.I am hopeful that the Y can implement this change. Continuing our membership during Covid is an indication of our support and commitment to the Y and I request the Y consider this suggestion.
I like the atmospheres and the many options that you have and the staff is very friendly and helpful.

Good mix of ages and other groups
At the Towson YMCA, we love to workout and talk with our (new and old) friends who come in. We really try to be a extended family to everyone who comes in to workout or fellowship. At my church we believe it is all about relationships or it is about nothing. G. Ford
The Y gives me ev erything I want to maintain my health. The staff is very friendly and helpful. And - the price is right.
That fact that you have a pool although I wish it was kept cleaner. If you need my assistance. I can help you. I have over 25 years maintaining pools.
The facilities (so nice, so clean), the staff (so friendly, so helpful)
Friendly people; good environment; good equipment; friendly price.
The people- both staff & members are friendly & encouraging
Warm welcome at the front desk, equipment usually in good working order, helpful trainers, clean lockerrooms sand fair pricig. Also, the InBody assessment is an overlooked member benefit. What I don't like? Members who use their cell phones between reps and zone out to members waiting in line. Time for signs urging people to put thier phones away?
Great place to not only exercise but to socialize as well. The staff there are professional, knowledgeable, helpful and friendly. If you need any assistance you can always count on someone to help you. The workout equipment is top of the line. After a good workout, I look forward to spending time in the sauna and later having a delicious cup of coffee and good conversation with the many friends that I have made there in the lobby. These reasons are why I enjoy my Y experience.

I joined the Orokawa Y last year at the urging of a friend, but since I knew no one there I didn't go; I was intimidated by the size and innumerable offerings.
However, this year at the end of summer, coming out of the Covid-19 withdrawal, I decided I needed to explore the Y again. There was a program on offer that included a couple of meetings with a trainer, and I took advantage of that. The young man who worked with me was exceptionally kind and helpful, encouraging me to keep coming, explaining many of the machines to me, and instructing me on how the different programs worked.
I signed up for a series of training sessions with Lucia Perfetti Clark, and I think it is the best choice I have ever made for improving my life!
First of all, it's a lot of fun. Second, she is a particularly personable young woman and we have formed a bond, united by the goal of getting me more fit and ready to withstand the oncoming results of advanced age. (I am 84 right now, but I see it coming).
Having this relationship with Lucia has motivated me to get going. I am at the Y almost every single Monday, Wednesday and Friday early in the day. Yesterday I had the enormous pleasure of seeing the results of our work when I took my kitchen trash bag down to the chute.
I have always put it on a wheelie cart as it was too heavy for me to carry the long distance, and when I got there I have usually had to struggle and get creative to get the doggone thing up and into the chute. Yesterday to my own great surprise I carried it swiftly down the hall and picked it up and dumped without noticing the results of my work with Lucia.
Besides all this, I love going to the Y. Seeing all the busy people, young and old, streaming into the building early in the morning, all ready to take on their physical improvement task is very satisfying. I see people in my age group, and over it as well as, of course, below it. I see
activities that are tempting and that I know some day I will try. Until now I have not tried anything new but I look forward to doing so.
The spirit, the welcoming friendliness of the staff, the beautiful condition of the facility are definitely a draw and they are the reason, at first, that I returned to the Y after my first, failed enrollment.
Thanks for all you do.
Plenty of space, easy access to most workout machines and friendly staff.
The Y is clean and easy to be there. The staff is friendly and helpful. It’s so wonderful to see so many people of all ages there, doing all kinds of activities.
I love the Y - I love the pool, the friendly people who work there and greet me every time I come, the people I meet when I'm swimming or in the locker room, the fire... it's all great! Thank you -
So far so good
All the latest machines. Comfortable locker rooms. Large open space. Good handicap parking
I love the Y. It's that simple.
