Member Testimonials
Really think the water aerobics programs are great.
Lots of great opportunities to play pickleball. Also, all staff I have had interactions with have been very pleasant & helpful.
I love the infant care benefit. It is so nice to be able to exercise and know my baby is taken care of!
Skylar is about the best thing that has ever happened to First name removed's swimming! I have definitely recommend to friends.
Gravity is a great overall exercise for all ages. Great for the entire body.
IT has been amazing to see my daughter get more comfortable in the water thanks to Nancy's guidance.
Easy, friendly, flexible.
Our son loves his teacher Skyler and enjoys his swim classes!
Clean. The people. The services. The services for the kids.
The Y has made so many excellent improvements in the structure of the facilitate Everyone! They just cleaned and put new vents on the pickleball courts. Thank you Bill! Angela Conti is doing a fabulous job setting up children's programs and along with Sara Aikens has expanded and promoted pickleball. One of the fastest growing sports in the country!
The Y also has some of the most fabulous instructors including Veronica Whetsel, a licensed physical therapist. Her pilates class is amazing. Jeannette and Jessica and Linda in water aerobics, and work out classes are excellent. I would highly recommend all of them. Of course, Wanda is one of my favorites! She always has a smile.
I am a retired physical educator and health teacher for Anne Arundel County, as well as a referee for women's lacrosse and volleyball. I have lived in the county all my life. Now that I am retired the Y is a big part of mine and my husbands life. He works out on the circuit training equipment and cardio activities at least 5 days a week and now has the pickleball "bug."
We love bringing our grandchildren over in the summer to do the rock climbing wall and swim. The Y makes it so easy to include them. Janet has been wonderful as the front desk coordinator and everything else she does at the Y. She is always happy to answer any question and yes, she makes you feel like family and that is what the Y is all about!
Needless to say, I highly recommend the YMCA in greater Annapolis at the Arnold facility.
Keep up the good work.
Sincerely,
Trudy and John Steffey
The swimming lessons we have taken part in with Coach Nancy have been a fabulous experience. They are efficient, well-planned, based on a structure that is successful and we could not be more pleased.
The hours, we use the pool alot
This was a great beginner class. My kid exercised, learned baseball basics, and learned about sportsmanship. The coaches were very patient and encouraging.
access to swim and exercise classes at different times and on different days
classes for seniors
Ms. Maureen is excellent and very patience with the students. Although she is very calm and happy, she still holds high expectations for the swimmers. Thank you!

I love the variety of exercise classes. Jenn G is my favorite instructor. Her Tuesday Zumba class is the most fun I’ve ever had exercising! Also, my son loves the rock wall and basket ball courts. We both love the pools! I appreciate that the Y is very clean and the staff is always positive and friendly. It’s truly an inclusive environment where families and people of all ages can thrive. There’s something for everyone at the Y!
The instructor is very sympathetic, so my son really enjoyed his class.
Love the 8:30am MWF classes! Also Love that pickleball is being promoted and supported!
There are many machines available, staff is helpful and knowledgeable. The facilities are clean and well kept. Thank you.
The Y is a great place to work out. It is fully up to date and clean.
Everyone is so friendly at the Y, there isn't an "intimidation factor" and no matter your fitness level, there is a non-competitive atmosphere and more of a sense of we're all in it together. The gym is clean, the hours are convenient and I'm really happy I joined!
I love the hours and the accessibility. I also love that you can use the membership at any other Y affiliiate. In fact, I was out of state and needed a gym during a long business trip and low and behold, there was a Y near my hotel. It cost me nothing and was super convenient. Would definitely recommend the Y to others.
Friendly staff, nice facility, many things to do
Fun, and helpful people. Great equipment
Love the new lockers,
Good place for a variety of activities and exercises.
Love this event! Love what they do!
The updates have been good.
I like the space, stay and play, the pool, all the staff is very nice. I wish I could use the classes more often, but that's on me.

Clean gym
