Member Testimonials
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
Julie was very professional and kind during my initial enrollment.
I thoroughly enjoy the aqua aerobic and aqua arthritis classes. The instructors are fantastic.
Flexible schedules. Cost is reasonable. Facilities clean.
The only disappointment is that there always seems to a lot of class cancellations specially the yoga classes. The schedule will have the class so when I show up there is no instructor. The instructors need to give more notice.
The fact that my entire family enjoys all or parts of the Y. I’m so excited
Everything
The variety of classes & times make the Y an excellent gym experience in addition to its warm & welcoming environment
I am an instructor at the Arnold Y and find the inclusive atmosphere a wonderful experience.
The many programs reach a great number of people and needs. Overall it is a welcoming facility.
Love the Y! Equipment is available for use at various times of the day.
I would request that the pool schedule be more up to date...I'm a lap swimmer and find it frustrating that there may be limited lanes then suddenly a lane is going to be taken up for swimming lessons...no notice except that the swim instructor shows up and kindly lets you know that they will be needing a lane.
Clean & friendly

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.
