Friendly staff, clean facilities. Various program offerings
Ben was a fantastic instructor - loved the class!!!
The coaches were kind and patient. Very nice experience at the Y
I'm impressed my daughter can swim now. The instructor is amazing.Thank you Ms Liza.
My boys have the best time when they go to the YMCA and hang out during Parent's Day/Nights out. The staff are super friendly, take the time to get to know the kids, and it feels like they really care about making it a fun experience for everyone. One of my kids is pretty shy and slow to jump in, but the staff always welcome him with a big smile. It really helps!
Great turnaround time to get approved for my discounted membership since I'm unemployed right now. There are lots of choices on how I can get my weekly workouts in towards better health and conditioning. Nice up-to-date cardio & weight machines. The rock climbing wall, 2 pools and courts for basketball and pickleball are added benefits for my monthly membership. I definitely recommend the Greater Y in Arnold, MD.
The Arnold sports mix trainers are very engaging and great with the children.
I love everything about the Y! My kids have all done a number of swim lessons over the years and they are great. My only complaint is in this last Level 2 class my son took I felt like it was a little big. There were at least 8 kids and I don’t remember them being that big in the past.
The coach was really good with the kids
I like the hours and the equipment options, but currently several pieces of the equipment are broken
I like the location, the amount of equipment, the friendly atmosphere.
The entire family enjoys going to the Y. This includes my teenagers and my elementary school child. It is clean and they have different activities that hold my younger daughter's interest.
every member is equally treated and accepted
Convenience, wide assortment of equipment, pool
Great equipment and pool. Always clean and great staff.
LOVE to dance! Zumba is great fun and fantastic cardio!
We recently moved to Arnold and checked out the y yesterday. My husband and I have two young children and really appreciated the option for child care for 90 minutes which allowed us both to work out at the same time. Our kids had a great time as well.
Everyone I meet is so friendly-staff and participants alike. The staff is always helpful whenever I have inevitable questions, and are happy to help me with simple things like the YMCA 360 app or notifications.
The folks taking the classes are helpful and fun!
Everyone was very helpful. Someone helped orient my 13 yo to weights and someone else helped my 10 yo orient to the cardio machines. They were pleasant, knowledgable, and great with kids!
Equipment is always updated
The people - staff and fellow members - and the facility
Friendly staff
Pools
variety of exercise options like aerobics, swimming, pickleball and work out equipment
Everyone in my family has benefited from the Y programs and facilities. From swim lessons to yogalates or Zumba to personal training or to just relaxing at the pool, the Y has helped us all to be healthier and happier.
Good equipment, friendly staff, community engagement

OMG, the aquatic class with Marie was outstanding. Marie was instrumental in not only making me feel welcome as a newcomer, but kept a close eye on me and provided almost one -on-one instruction and encouragement through the session. I will be back
