Member Testimonials
I like the friendly and supportive guards - they often are ask how the swim was and often open the pool up before the advertised time for the swim. The pool is cute and it is open.
The facility is clean and all the staff are very friendly and helpful.
My return to the Y has been very rewarding. During the time we had to stay at home, I had missed exercising at the Y considerably. Once it reopened, the staff was very prepared to keep the members safe and to make the facilities in terrific shape. I have been using the Y in Parkville since July, and exercising has made me feel good about myself and life in general. I am concerned that sometimes the facility is so empty and that the low numbers may impact keeping it opened. It has made for a very enjoyable experience overall.
People, Equipment, Cleanliness
I first started working out at the Towson YMCA in the early 1970s. I loved it then, and I love it even more now! It’s has a great family-like atmosphere operating within an amazing facility.
Safe, clean, quiet lap pool well managed by Jeremy, the pool manager, and kept safe and sanitary by the lifeguards, especially Britney. Kind, friendly staff, especially Karen and Brie, who go out of they way to help with scheduling snafus. Could not survive in the current Covid-19 situation without this peaceful oasis.
There's something to do for the whole family
Friendly employees, cleanliness, and huge variety of equipment to use
Not too many people and it is clean. Everyone is so friendly and helpful
I like the workers, the way they make you feel very comfortable. And they are willing to help you with your goals. It's a more better place than other gyms.
The Y amenities are very clean, especially the pool.
I do often have difficulty not getting an answer when I call which is disappointing (Parkville location).
Other than that it's a very enjoyable place.
Take temperature when you walk in, not many people in room

Very safe. The staff makes sure to protect members from getting sick from the virus.
The atmosphere and the people. Everyone is friendly and always wiping down the equipment. Very clean and proper social distancing.
The people are friendly. I really like water fitness. I’m looking forward to Aqua Zumba! I like the new stationary bikes. The moderate workout is intense. I sweat more than ever. Zac came over to check on me. I told him that I was well. He told me about the bike adjustments, features and games as I cooled down. I am told that the dance studio has improved the floors since 3 years ago when I was here last. I’m excited to try some dance classes.
I LOVE the lap pool and the ease and convenience of scheduling time...I only wished the blocks of time were for a full hour as opposed to 45 minutes.
it's a good place to exercise and support my children.
I am happy to see the precautions that the centers are taking, including asking for temperatures and directing traffic to the pool deck.
Friendly staff and always willing to assist with any concerns
Friendly.
The YMCA offers something for every “body” ! No matter what age or fitness level, the Y has something for you at a reasonable price. I would recommend the YMCA to anyone...
