Member Testimonials
I like the pickleball courts and playing time for the different skill levels.
I like your senior discount! Things seem to be well organized with many activities to fit our whole family.
A friendly and healthy atmosphere!
I have my favorite group exercises to go such as total body work out, pilate class and more. Trisha and Janet and Darlene and Jill they are amazing!!
The clean establishment, friendly staff, and a variety of activities for kids of various ages are just some of the reasons that I would recommend the Y. Our 13 year old enjoyed the Teen Night with friends. He is looking forward to the next one.
Staff were very helpful! Facility is huge, plenty of options for older adults.
The great staff
Friendly staff. A place I will feel comfortable to work out. Looking forward to getting healthy.
Access to a wide variety of equipment. Very friendly. Family oriented.
I really like the exercise classes, especially yoga, total body, body pump, and pilates.
I recently had an outstanding experience at the Y in Ellicott City. The staff greets you with genuine enthusiasm, and the gym—including all equipment—is always clean and well maintained. On one of my visits, I misplaced my phone, and the Find My Phone app showed the Y as its last known location. The staff stayed in near real‑time communication with me until they found my phone, which I truly appreciated.
I highly recommend this facility—not only for its programs and dedicated team but also for the way management worked hard, asking members to keep their membership so that the management could keep their staff during the Covid 10 pandemic. To me, that is real social responsibility.
Very comfortable
I like swimming laps in the warm pool the best. Having had a right knee and hip replaced, I find the ladders built into the pool walls to be difficult to navigate. The steps into the warm pool eliminate that problem. After watching other seniors struggle with those ladders, I know that I'm not the only person who has difficulty with them.
Y has much to offer. For me, variety of exercise options keeps me motivated. These options are a great way to stay motivated to exercise. Those I have met so far at this facility have made me feel welcome. Staff conduct is very professional and friendly.
