Amazing place and wonderful people.
My only comment is that we noticed that the warm pool contains excessive amount of chlorine or whatever being used to keep the water clean.
My total experience is excellent.
Thank you!
Choice of classes, range of strength training options, helpful staff.
The heated pool classes are great. Every instructor I’ve met for the pool classes has been wonderful.
Friendliness and helpfulness of the personnel. Group fitness and the pool.
The staff at the Ellicott City Ymca are amazing! They are great with my kids and my girls love going there for parents night out!
The whole place is always clean and neat, The machines are well maintained and working, The Pickleball players and instructors are friendly and helpful. The showers and lockers are also clean and well maintained,
Best place to exercise in a family environment
I do like about most classes but I wish yoga and plates classes has more younger instructors. It was little bit disappointed. But Mostly all the employees are very nice and I really liked dry sauna. I wish you have much bigger shower room. Thanks
Personnel are very friendly, and ready to answer questions. The facilities are clean, and there are a variety of classes offered at reasonable time.
Offers yoga
We like the family atmosphere, the pool, the weight room** and classes*
*we used to take spinning classes at the Dancel Y, but our favorite instructors no longer teach there, so we now take classes at the Catonsville Y (a friendlier Y). The Dancel Y policies on their spinning classes are either senseless or make it difficult (in addition to the instructor issue). Having the spin room door locked 24/7 is inconvenient. Now allowing someone into class after it has started when there are open bikes makes no sense (not a health and safety issue).
** there is very little understanding about proper weight room behavior. Sitting on machines between sets would never be tolerated in a legit gym, yet it happens all the time at the Y. hogging free weights and not allowing other to 'work in' would also not be tolerated.
The staff is super friendly and helpful. Love the fitness equipment also!
The variety of classes and the instructors.
Daycare while you work out and WARM pool for the kids!
Everything! The classes, fitness equipment and especially the childcare and the wonderful people who work in the childcare rooms at both the Catonsville and Ellicott City locations.
Thanks.
The staff is always so helpful and friendly. The services are varied. The Y is a wonderful resource for our aging community.
I don't like the bikes and neither do plenty of other people.
The different sports and exercise programs available for my family and multiple locations that I can utilize all over the US.
