It Is a good place for the family
Pleasant environment, exercise equipment is usually readily available, clean facilities, and pleasant staff.
I regularly go to Cantonsville but stopped for a tour. Wowzers! I will definitely come for warm water lap walks
My experience has been very valuable to my health. My doctor supports and encourages my participation in the arthritis and yoga classes. The teachers are excellent. The front desk staff are friendly and welcoming.
Everything
Awesome!
Really like the instructors for the classes.
I enjoy the Y. I was a member ages ago, and when I moved back, I re-joined. It's bigger, but still feels very community-centered. I'm glad I'm back.
I like the personal attention given to customers.
Enjoy the flexibility of hours (would love to see the fitness room open at 5am versus 5:30am Monday through Friday; but I recognize that may not be reasonable.
Place is clean and friendly; has most of the necessary equipment.
The lifeguards are very kind. I appreciate their help.
Very friendly atmosphere,always willing to go the xtra mile!
Overall it is very positive, however there seem to be a trend of preteens being left unsupervised and playing on the equipment. Especially on the weekend, while adults are waiting for said equipment.
I think you all have done a wonderful job. I primarily use the elliptical machines and the weight room but will be bringing my son to your swim lessons.
Dancel is a Fun place, always able to get in pool, get on a bike. Wish there was a smoothie bar year round. Sometimes the showers could be cleaner (lots of hair in drain), and water temperature is not always controllable. Visited the Catonsville location but on more than 1 occasion I have not been able to swim in a free unused lane of the pool even though it was not being used. Told it was reserved, etc. How I’m always able to swim at the location that is much more busy is a mystery to me. After 3 attempts but no success, it’s unlikely I’ll go back to Catonsville, Dancel for me!
The staff is always helpful and friendly
A lot of classes are free w/ yoj r membership:)
Friendly, professional staff and instructors. Lots of things to do and extra events. Need more PARKING!
I like that the trainers help with programming the machine tat fit your needs I always able to use the machine when I come in
Like the classes and instructors especially spinning and Pickleball!!
Everything
Staff with good professionals and always willing in attendance.
Everything is run efficiently and staff members are always available and kind. However, it is to crowded in the fitness area and only one swim lap lane is available some days at a convenient time.
Accessible from different parts of Maryland
Variety of activities and equipment, friendly and helpful staff, and excellent trainers. I also like the well-staffed and equipped stay and play program; my grandson moved it when I took him there.
I love the classes!! So far I’ve done body pump and cycle. All the instructors have been awesome. I can’t wait to try kickboxing and cardio blast! My kids also love the play area. It took them a couple of times to get comfortable but now they really enjoy it! This summer we’ll be visiting some of the other Ys for the outdoor pool and splash pad. We already had a friend sign up and another one thinking about it. I definitely recommend your facility.
Workers are friendly and professional. The various classes and activities are adequate.
I love all of the activities offered but can we quiet the rattling the in yoga studio? It so loud and distracting when trying to calm the mind.
Also, I feel like more Zumba and the like classes need to be offered. The classes are usually full and make it difficult to reach my fitness goals.

Friendly staff and great pool amenities.
