Hello
I really enjoy to be a member at the Y.
Y has a wonderful, positive, and friendly Team.
Which make me motivated, excited, and happy.
It's a great pleasure to be a member of the Y Family.
Thank To Everyone At The Y.
It is fun
I like the many options of classes, equipment and the pool. I feel they try to be very responsive to the requests of the members.
I like the precautions the Y has taken which has allowed us to enjoy exercising safely. I have been back to the Y since they reopened & have never been concerned about my health or exposure to Covid.
The Y has done a fantastic job of cleaning and enforcing social distancing as well as proper mask wearing. I’ve been back to the Y as soon as they reopened.
The Y in Ellicott City is a fabulous place! The staff are friendly, especially the gentleman on entry who works taking temperatures in the evenings. The blond lady who works in the gym on Sundays is always thoroughly cleaning the machines. Makes me feel safe working out there. I really enjoy that nobody is hovering or rushing you to finish on the treadmill. Overall, it has been such a great experience and happy place to work out.
The Y is clean and well maintained. It is a friendly place to work out. I take water fitness and the instructor is excellent and the workout thorough. All of the staff are friendly and some even greet me by name. I have been a Y member for 42 years. First in Towson and in Howard County.for the past 34 years. I also swim laps a couple of days a week and consider my Y time as my own time to stay fit and meet others with the same ambition.
Cheerful staff
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
Nice clean environment that allows me to get what I want to do completed.
Friendly , Polite, and Helpful Staff.
