Member Testimonials
Prior to and during COVID, I've always found the Y to be a clean safe environment for all. I know it was a difficult year for businesses and appreciate the Y trying to do everything they can to offer members classes and open fitness floor. I'm very impressed how the Y has made it happen.
Love the reservations system. So great not to have to share a lane!
Friendly staff
It's safe, everyone is friendly, it is a great way to get out safely among people and get some exercise.
The Dancel Y adheres to Covid-19 precautions. The lifeguards are very professional They are quick to assist with opening the lane guards since I am an older person with arthritis. The gym staff are friendly & available to help me with settings on the machines. I can't say enough good things about my personal trainer- Stacy - who is extremely patient and provides a detailed explanation about why it is important to do specific exercises.
We like that the Y Dancel center has a family friendly atmosphere, take safety and security seriously, priced reasonably, provide variety of family friendly learning activities, clean, professional and friendly staffs, and contribute to the local community.
The staff is so friendly and helpful, the facility is so clean, especially the pool and locker rooms, i love it
Staff and social distance
The Y has everything. Everyone is friendly. I would like to see a little more treadmill variation. A couple incline trainers with 30-40% grade and motorless treadmill like a Trueform treadmill would be an improvement.
Friendly staff, clean facility, not crowded.
Very clean and freindly environment
Value for the money.
Family friendly and convenient.
Excersise
I like having a very clean, well-kept place to come to swim - even with the scheduling; I seem to be better at coming regularly to swim because of the schedule. I find all the workers friendly and helpful. They seem to enjoy what they are doing. Other "Y" attendees seem to be happy to be able to come to get their preferred exercise.
If you use my name, I'd prefer it used as "Sally J., a senior attendee". Thanks!
Implemented thorough COVID prevention measures.
Everything is great!
The facility and staff have been completely responsible and thorough in how they have handled keeping people safe in a gym environment during this pandemic.
I am very grateful to have been able to use this facility, and felt safe, during this challenging time.
We’ve been members for over 10 years. Started as a place for child’s swim lessons and grew into a source of health and community. I never knew how much the dancel y meant to me until covid closed it. I’ll never forget that day, it was sad for many reasons. As soon restrictions lifted, we were there! Thank you to the staff working hard to keep us safe.
I feel safe
The Staff keeps the facility very clean and the staff is very polite and helpful. It really encouraging that when I was incorrectly using the machines, one of staff members in Ellicott City, named Jamal, came up to show me the right way.
Very clean and professional
Scheduling a swim time and NOT having to share a lap lane
The staff and the people who work out there
Everything
During the Covid restrictions I can see how much care goes into a safe and healthy environment. The equipment is constantly being wiped down and the members are courteous with wiping down after themselves and wearing masks. I feel comfortable coming in to use the equipment.
Thank you
