Member Testimonials
Yoga good. But you should offer classes in the early afternoon.
Staff are always very friendly and helpful. Great atmosphere, much better than past experience with more typical gyms
The friendliness of the welcoming staff in the early morning, they always have a smile on their faces.
I've visited many Y's in the Maryland area but the Dancel Y is by far my favorite. Why? The staff are absolutely wonderful and the sense of community here is unmatched. It's not just a gym, but also a place to connect with neighbors and meet new people. I can't say enough good things about this place. Thank You!!
Love the pool.
But the men’s bathroom beds more attention. Toilet the hair around the shower drain.
I want to personally thank Karen at the front desk. I was in the process of moving memberships from my previous YMCA and she could not have been more helpful and kind. Every day on top of that she greets everyone with a smile and it goes a long way. The gym itself is great with very nice amenities. I love the fact there are two basketball courts.
Overall excellent customer service and facilities available.
Staff is always friendly and helpful. Facilities are always clean and I've never had any issues here.
Great value for the services offered. We utilize the fitness center, stay and play, swim lessons, swim team, y camps, and schools out fun days.
The value is incredible for the services that are offered.
My one complaint is that the swim teacher that we have is not good. He frequently calls out sick, and when he is there he looks like he can’t stand to be. He does not engage with the children and yawns the entire time. It does not seem like anything is being done about his attendance issues.
Lots of options and friendly staff
Love the group exercise classes
Swim lessons with Ms. Brianna are fantastic. Love that there is a warm water pool in addition to the lap pool. Grateful for the child care availability.
I love the "We are for everyone" culture. I always feel welcomed when I come in, take a class, etc.I enjoy the updated equipment & amenities.
I love it!! Everything about it from the atmosphere, to the friendly staff, and top of the line equipment and facilities.
Great staff! Wonderful facilities.
Love the availability of lap lanes to swim. Also, there is a positive energy at the Y that you don't have at other pools in the area. Other members are super friendly and courteous.
My 3 sons love the Open Gym, for Basketball 🏀

I like being able to use the facilities at any YMCA in the area.
lots of programs everyone friendly and very clean lots equipment
I like the Aqua Zumba and Aqua fitness classes that Samantha and Rebecca and Tish teach.
We all hope you find a qualified Aqua Zumba instructor as knowledgeable as Samantha to fill in for her while she is on maternity leave.
Friendly and helpful staff. Well maintained equipment and multiple options.
The options
I am not sure you do want to hear from me because I have filled this out a few times and nothing has changed. I really like the Y. The staff is very friendly and kind. All of the amenities are great. I love the water aerobic instructors for the warm pool. My problem is the warm pool is cloudy and has things floating in it, yuck like band aids.
The women's changing room showers are often not clean.
Other than that the Y is great.
Experienced kindness, competence, and care. Plus an excellent facility for working out, and for the family to swim.
Love it
