Convenient.
But you need more octane machines. You only have two.
Zalanka and her team are awesome! My kids can't wait for this night because they get to see their friends that go to a different school from them. They always have a fun craft they bring home to display until the next event. Kudos for a fantastic Parents Night Out team!

Feeling somewhat better after the workout
The self care information given
The people working at the Y are knowledgeable and helpful.
I like all the changes Y made to Big Vanilla. Our kids are always excited to go to kids club and we all enjoy a little family time in the family room where we play games.
I also enjoy programs they offer and they are for a good price. This will be the first summer we will try summer camp at Y. I hope they will deliver a high standard as I expect.
This is an increasingly improving facility with terrific instructors available (including my personal trainer). I've made new friends at the Y, too, and look forward to the café renovation so we can enjoy some time together after a strenuous workout. Good for the body and the soul!
Staff is friendly and helpful
Many classes to choose from and the renovation is very nice
Nice staff & clientel. Wonderful facility.
I like the variety of programs that are offered My son is doing the Youth and Government program this year and is really enjoying it. Also like the investment the Y is making in the facilities and equipment.
Great workout equipment, just missing a pec press machine.
Great personnel, clean, well maintained facility, convenient location, healthy "energy" of people there.
Friendly front desk people. And employees
Hiit and interval class. 9:30 Monday’s and Thursday’s. Great instructors.
My daughter is 6 years old and she loves Parents night out. She looks forward to it every month. She loves all the activities and going to the rock wall. But most of all she loves see all her friends at the Y.
Excelent classes
Always support the Y after a great career with the organization- starting with the YMCA of Metropolitan, to the Orange Park, Fl. Y, then ending with the Central MD. YMCA when they moved back into Anne Arundel.
So now enjoying the Y as a member!

Oh my goodness. This place is amazing. The staff is helpful, friendly and knowledgeable.
10 STARS. Keep up the terrific work! Brian Hauer is particularly fantastic! That guys is a keeper! YAY YMCA!
Variety of classes at different times
My kids are always worn out and I love it! They can' wait for PNO.
Comfortable, great hours and lots of choices.
Joined only a month ago. Happy so far. Will enjoy locker room upgrades!
Has a variety of exercise equipment to choose from and the pool is nice along with the staff.
Our boys love Parents Nigt Out at the Y! We came to pick them up a few minutes early and our older son wouldn't leave until it was actually 8:30.
Variety of classes, gym hours and accessibility of pool lanes.
We like the convenience of the location, the wide selection of classes and the excellent instructors.
I have been able to adjust my workout according to my body’s needs — HIIT was too strenuous, Everfit worked for two years, then I switched to aquaexercise to take stress off my knee. The yoga classes are wonderful, but began to be too stressful for my knee. I have appreciated the many classes scheduled at different times.
The only exercise machine I use regularly is the reclining cycle — per my doctor’s instructions. Many of the instructors have been both upbeat and extremely knowledgeable about their fields. I prefer classes that encourage hard work!
I do not like the noise level in most classes with the exception of yoga. The YMCA should check decibel levels in each space to make sure that hearing, particularly for people 50+, is not being injured or compromised.
Great place for exercise and great people .

I love all the new changes. Very happy.
