Positive experience: Convenient and clean. Pool is too small, but at least it is easy to get a lane! I like the ability to visit most YMCAs across the country with my membership here.
Thank you for leaving a rating and a review, David, and for supporting the Y! We love to hear that you're enjoying your membership.
Fantastic experience: Is the Pool Open ?
Hi Kaylah - yes the pool is open, but reservations have to be made. Please visit ymaryland.org to learn more or give us a call. We hope to see you soon!
Fantastic experience: The equipment is great, it’s never too crowded for how intimate a place it is. I have yet to take an exercise class, but walking by, they all look interactive and fun. The staff is kind. They aren’t always easily accessible, but I go later in the evening so I understand. I wish this location was open longer hours, specifically earlier on the weekends. The parking is never crazy, I’m always able to park right in front of the building. Thanks Druid Hill Y for being great!
Thank you for leaving a rating and review, Anna. We hope to see you at the Y in Druid Hill again soon!

Fantastic experience: Excellent gym. Everything you could need. Clean with lots of space and the best equipment. Can't beat it. Great value. Clean locker rooms and lots of room.
Negative experience: I am a member and they never told me they changed the time on Sunday it said it's not open until 12but when I called it said they are not open on Sunday until 1pm it to hot to walk at that time to do anything! I don't have the luxury of transportation
We are so sorry that we did not properly share our hours and that on Sundays it is too hot to walk to the center. We expect the weather to break soon and hope to see you!

Rebecca, thank you for leaving a rating and review. We hope to see you at the Y in Druid Hill again soon!
Fantastic experience: The Y in Druid Hill is a clean, up-to-date facility that I frequently visit to lift free weights and use cardio equipment. It's seldom crowded but other guests are friendly. The staff is extraordinarily friendly, courteous, helpful, and diligent. The facility also has an interesting history as it's where eminent African-Americans from Baltimore such as Thurgood Marshall and Cab Calloway learned to swim.
Trevor, thank you for leaving a rating and review. We hope to see you at the Y in Druid Hill again soon!
Fantastic experience: No a bad place. Just dont open early enough. Now there is a planet fitness thats 24/7

Kim, thank you for leaving a rating and review. We are so glad you love the Druid Hill Y; your satisfaction is important to us. We hope to see you at the Y again soon!
Fantastic experience: Location is accessible and clean; prices are more reasonable than other locations (probably because of the location); and, the people are amazingly warm and will help anyone. Typical inner city parking but the entire experience erases any disquietude. The best part....they positively contribute to an unbalanced part of the city. Best, much needed location in B-more, imo.
Erika, thank you for leaving a rating and review. We hope to see you at the Y in Druid Hill again soon!
Fantastic experience: A great place to exercise and relax with friends old and new.

Lachonia, thank you for leaving a rating. We hope to see you at the Y in Druid Hill again soon!
Negative experience: I will continue to go to 33rd street. This location is not what I expected at all. Sadly we live in the area yet we have to drive to another location in order to enjoy ourselves. No yoga classes, bathrooms/locker rooms are horrible, the front desk staff couldn’t answer any questions I needed answers to. This establishment needs to be upgraded and have training sessions for their employees. At 33rd I know the staff by names, it’s always clean, the environment is just way better.
Thank you for leaving a rating and review. We're glad that you'll continue to visit the Weinberg Y; however, we'd like to know more about your experience at the Y in Druid Hill. Please email [email protected] when you feel open to speaking with us. Thank you.

Fantastic experience: The staff is is super nice and helpful. I’ve spoken to Fern several times this week and she’s answered every question I’ve had. I did the FitQuest fitness assessment with Andre and he made the process easy breezy. I have a feeling I’ll have similar interactions with other staff. Also, the brand new cardio equipment is awesome. I’m really glad my husband and I joined the Y.

Thank you for leaving a review Jannah! We are so happy to have you as part of the Y family!
Fantastic experience: I just moved into the neighborhood and started attending this Y fairly recently. You can sign up online or in person. The staff are friendly and there are a TON of weight machines and free weights and a good selection of cardio equipment. They have these really nice video cycling machines and good treadmills and ellipticals. It is also a good price, i'm glad I joined! I have not used the pool but people seem to be enjoying it when I walk by. The place is clean. BONUS: there is a parking lot immediately across the street and there is usually street parking. The whole place gives me a good vibe. Usually I feel intimidated in gyms especially around the weights but I really like then layout of the machines, they are fashioned in a way that you have your own space to work out.
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review, Lauren! Welcome to the Y! It sounds like you have checked out a lot of what we have to offer and we hope you get to check out some of the group exercise classes as well. We look forward to seeing you soon!
Positive experience: Group ex classes are good but the room need to be updated. Floor not clean ac not effective and ceiling leaked during classes....but the instructors endured. Otherwise a good club. Great for the community.
Thank you for leaving a review, Brianna. We are glad you are enjoying the group exercise classes and our instructors! We will look into the cleaning schedule of the floors and the leak you mentioned. Thank you for supporting the Y and we look forward to seeing you soon!
Positive experience: Great spot, go check it out. Good workout with a strong community atmosphere!
Thank you for leaving a review Brandon! We are glad you are finding health and community at the Y in Druid Hill.
