Member Testimonials
Rachel has really helped us to learn and overcome our fear of the water. Having semi-private lessons has enabled us to encourage each other as we learn to swim. We have taken 10 lessons so far and will continue to work with Rachel until we are feeling confident and have learned all the strikes. We have joined the Y and will continue to practice on our own as well. We tried group lessons but learned faster with the semi-private lessons.

Love how everyone plays together!
My children had a fantastic experience with semi-private swim lessons with Rachael as their instructor at the Catonsville Y. She kept them happily focused and having fun, and their improvement was dramatic!
Cleanliness of the facility, friendliness of the staff, and ready availability of equipment all add up to a pleasant workout experience.
Friendly staff. Lots of cardio and weight training equipment.
Like the equipment, the staff and the classes.
I like the variety - lots of different machines and classes. It's a one stop shop, and I like seeing families there as well, it makes it seem like more of a lifestyle.
Excellent place to exercise
It's a friendly and safe environment.
The Staff is nice, helpful and welcoming.
First visit but everyone was professional. The faculty was clean and the equipment accessible. I will know more when I bring my family.
What the Y stands for in our community along with nation wide. It feels like family when you walk in. How the Y helps so many underprivileged families in our local area is never talked about but I promise you it is heart warming. So many kids wouldn’t have a warm coat, books to read or have so many friends. The U isn’t just a fitness center. It’s a place so many call home.
I love all the new equipment, especially the dynamic exercise space! It’s so easy to build a custom workout with a focus on functional strength and endurance.
Wonderful environment & excellent service
The water fitness teacher, continuous classes, broad range of hours for equipment.
I like that they also provide service when the kids are out of school.
Quiet, well maintained, all new equipment just installed
nice clean atmosphere and friendly staff
