Melissa Cohee 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: My whole family loves the Y! There are more than enough pieces of equipment, and I have never had to wait for a machine. It is clean, and staff and members alike are considerate. We utilize the pool as a family, my daughter loves her beginner ballet classes, and they honor my Johns Hopkins employee discount. My children love the staff (not to mention toys) in Stay & Play, and we are always greeted with friendly smiles. I would wholeheartedly recommend this place.

Fantastic experience: It's pretty great! I wish I could make it over more! Staff is very friendly and helpful, even when they're busy with other duties or assisting other members. Also, the renovation invalidates most of the poor reviews on here. It also doesn't get too crowded, making it easy for you to do whatever you want to work on. I was skeptical at first because of reviews, but we stopped by and they gave us a tour - it was well worth it, especially with their recent renovations.

Fantastic experience: I love the renovations, I think they're are great! I like how spacious the new women's locker room is, with more bathroom stalls, and showers. Before I had to wait in line if I needed to use the restroom, now I can just go! I like the new studios. Also, I enjoy using the weight room but it is small and can get crowded. It would be good if we had another chest press/squat assist machine, as well as another free weight squat machine (as much as the space will allow), because sometimes I have to get in a quick workout and will have to wait to use the squat machines or can't use it because they are limited.

Fantastic experience: The recent renovations have been spectacular. Catonsville Y has truly become a family destination. As a family we go just about every single day. The greatest part of the renovation has to be the climbing wall. We all love this aspect. My youngest wants to go everyday. Andrew and Alex are two terrific guy who really know how to challenge the kids fears with out making it scary for them. They do not allow the kids to fail, but instead encourage them to succeed at climbing the wall. Both these young men should be commended and rewarded for what they do. They go way beyond what is required and I am personally grateful. Please do not read the older reviews. The new Y is nothing like the old one was.

Fantastic experience: Great place to workout. Decent pool. Remodeled within the past 8ish years. Stay-n-play provides child care for parents to workout. Associates are extremely nice. Family swim is indispensable during the cold winter months when you need to get out of the house.

Fantastic experience: I am a new member and new to the state of Maryland. Everyone is super nice and I do aqua therapy because of orthopedic issues and upcoming surgeries. I am a senior citizen and everyone makes me feel welcome. The YMCA in Washington state has a hot tub and a lazy river which is great for walking against the current. There is no real place to walk laps so I have improvised by doing jumping jacks and jogging in place. I have a routine using the resistance bell bars and the noodle. I even have done some lap swimming which surprised me! I'm not the fastest in the pool, but I enjoy my work outs. I'm going to check out the Aqua Arthritis workout session tomorrow!

Patsy Anderson 3 years ago

Positive experience: Overall I Love this Y. I like the culture of how they greet everyone . It’s a friendly environment and clean . However ...lacking in size in comparison to surrounding Ys Though there may not be room for more expansion but this Y needs a serious make over of it’s dated and old pool. Howard County Multiple Pools Clean. And a Sauna Pasadena’s out door pools are enormous .. It never smells like chlorine The women’s locker room is like a spa What is upsetting to me is the dated and old pool environment at the Catonsville Y It’s chlorine level is so high the ventilation not comfortable It seems totally unhealthy. . Catonsville is a swimming town with multiple private swim clubs and devoted swimmers. our Y is not a strong reflection of that. At the very least ....Please open the doors and get some windows put in .

Lisa Dickey 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: Love the YMCA! They do so much for the community and a great place to work out! They started virtual classes in February and I love it! It not only allows me to squeeze in workouts on busy days when I can't get to the gym but also lets me do classes at different facilities that I normally would not have gone too. It's like getting double the class options!

Jessica Frank 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: I've had a wonderful first few weeks as a Y member. This is the first time I've joined a Y as a family. My kids have really enjoyed the free climb nights, family swim and they also loved Fit & Fun, with Austin as their leader. I'm really enjoying BodyPump in the early mornings with Deb because this is the only time I can get to the gym by myself. The staff at the front desk, especially Arnette, are wonderful. The cozy fire was so nice to sit next to during Open Climb the other night. I just wanted to stay a while, it was so welcoming. I even took a Family activity take-home activity for my boys and they had fun doing it at home. I appreciate the family bathrooms so much having opposite-gendered young children (age 7-8), it just takes all the stress out of wondering if they are going to get the shower to work/not make it too hot, get dressed timely, goof around, etc. in the boys locker room by themselves. I've already started the process of taking advantage of FitQuest and I'm happy to say that the Y environment and staff have motivated me to build my health and wellness routine. I've never gone to a gym regularly before so this is huge for me.

The staff members are really pleasant and professional. The facility offers so many opportunities to engage campers and the cleanliness is impeccable. My family and I will always be members of the Y. Thank you so much for supporting Kayden in his swimming journey! He has gained confidence and now he can swim sufficiently on his own at 6 years old.

Fantastic experience: Ms. Tara and Ms. Sharon are wonderful teachers! My son loves to go there every morning. I don’t even have to convince him to get ready. Both teachers are caring, professional, and extremely knowledgeable! We really love it! Swimming, wood shop, morals (such as being caring and share) are just a few of the things that make this place great.

Nathalie Gerassimov 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: I did mommy and me swimming class with my 21 months old daughter and we both loved it! My only complaint is that the changing room needs to be warmer.

Sharon Curtis 6 years ago

Fantastic experience: I stopped by other Y’s but this gym appeared to be one of the nicest, well maintained. I was helped by Noelle. She took me on a tour, and was very through in answering all my questions. If the rest of the crew is anything like her, this place is gold. I joined on the spot. I can’t wait to start going there, and once again, thanks to your kind and caring staff....Noelle.

Amanda Barrick 6 years ago

Fantastic experience: We love the Y swim lessons for our 8 year old! He began taking lessons at the Y when he was 6. He had expressed an interest in joining a summer swim team, so we registered him for lessons. He had always loved the water, but if he wanted to compete, he would need to learn the strokes. He loved the lessons from the very first one! We saw a lot of progress from lesson to lesson. He was learning the strokes and doing them well. He had a great first year on a local swim team! Now, he is taking the porpoise class to really focus on his form. The small class size really gives each of the children the opportunity to have individual interactions with their instructor.

Keepingupwithgenesis ! 8 years ago

Fantastic experience: The first time I went to the Y. I was in shock how they treated there cosmumers they treat them with respect and they greeted your with respect but the only thing I would say when I was rock climbing I yelled down and said I'm finished but he continued to talk with the little boy that he trained and he was being very rude when I talked to him he acted like he didn't care and went on to the next person and every time I come there he never acts happy...But to the other people he acts very happy

Amy Phillips 8 years ago

Fantastic experience: What a great place! They just did renovations, and it's like new. Now, this isn't a big as some other Y's, but it more than does the job. The staff is friendly and always willing to help out. The place includes a pool, cardio machines, two rooms for classes, a shake/ smoothie bar, a pool, a climbing wall, and two nice places to hang out if you're waiting for someone. Thanks for all you do, YMCA!
