Member Testimonials
I love the staff at Dancel and the facility is wonderful. The selection of pickleball times is so varied and the cardiodance class is the best. I just wish it was a little earlier in the day.
I have been using the Cancel Y for about 9 years. The staff have all been kind and courteous.
I like the flexibility of taking classes at different locations to fit my schedule or when I am traveling in another state. I have been actively working on improving the strength and flexibility of my core muscles and joints through water fitness classes multiple times each week. These classes at the Y are great for my body and my soul!
Great Place to work out
I love the cardio dance teacher and her amazing workout! She is so amazing! She provides a special Happy Birthday sash for her students on their Birthday because they are part of the Y family and she loves all of us. Including me the one that has two left feet lol!
I like the clean friendly environment. I can workout with my entire family. That adds to the quality time that we are able to share which is truly a blessing.
Our family like Y.
Great equipment, clean facilities, and super friendly staff.
The lifeguards are on top of things and are organized.
Just became a member of this Y. So far, a good experience. Front desk people are very nice.
The atmosphere is pleasant and the employees are friendly, they offer good aerobics classes, they have good equipment in the gym.
The only thing they should insist on is that the people who use the machines in the gym do not text while others wait for the equipment they want to use, even if there are signs some people do not respect and follow the instructions.
Terrific facility and staff
The great staff and friendly atmosphere
I'm generally I think that the gym has everything you need to be in shape and the equipment is well maintained. It's also a great place for families with plenty of open availability of basketball courts and the pools.
This wouldn't prevent me from recommending the Dancel, but some of the new weight machines/equipment are incredibly disappointing comparatively to the older cybex machine/equipment. For instance, the two leg press machines feel awful. They do not have a smooth action. The ball bearings that move on the rails seems to be cheap and it creates inconsistent friction on the lifts. The abductor/adductor machine is terrible for the inner thighs because with the bumpers placed where they are you can't get full range of motion. The leaning lat pull equipment is not adjustable so for tall people it is uncomfortable to use and involves squatting you legs really low and even then the padding is in your stomach. All of the free weight benches are not as stable as their predecessors. I'm saying this as if everything is awful, but the reality is like I said everything is good enough to get in great shape it's just a step down from the older equipment in most places. I will say the new squat racks are great and a welcomed addition!
It good! Me jike!
The facility and the friendly and knowledgeable staff.
Off many cycle classes which is why I joined.
Very friendly environment.
The pools are very clean and well guarded by the life guards. Grace, a life guard that I see often during the day, makes it part of her job to greet everyone child and adult with a nod or smile and checks in to aquire their swimming ability. I feel very welcomed and comfortable at both the main pool and the warm pool but my favorite pool is the warm pool because it is extremly relaxing.
Great facility and staff
Indoor pool and place for kids
Friendly and helpful staff, clean facilities, heated pool, gym equipment and free coffee.
Exercise classes and water walking in the warm pool - the only full length warm pool for water walking in Maryland.
I love this gym and the recent equipment upgrades! However, I think that the cleanliness of the space has fallen off dramatically. I know it's hard to maneuver around the equipment but there is so much dust and dirt, also there is often stuff (dried sweat?) on the windows and mirrors. It's getting a bit icky!
It is clean. It is organised and the most important thing it has A/C in. The worst thing from my opinion is the Gym. Devices are ok but the whole place needs to be renovated. It is not bright enough and the devices are randomly distributed.
The staff is kind and friendly. The facility is clean
Everyone has been friendly.
We love the Y and the amenities it has! Love the classes and the free childcare while you work out is amazing! It’s affordable and clean!
Zumba classes are great. Nice place to meet friends. Mostly great instructors
Friendly staff, not crowded, great equipment and pools
