What do you like about your Y experience?

I love everything about the Y. The staff, equipment, facilities, the pool and sauna. This is not a gym. It’s a family where one cares. It’s like a bar without alcohol.

What do you like about your Y experience?

I like the clean, pleasant atmosphere. Everyone (patrons and staff alike) are friendly and helpful, the equipment is clean and in good condition, and there is always something to do even on super-crowded days.

What do you like about your Y experience?

I am very thankful for the team at towson stay and play. Especallly Cam and Kyah. The entire stay and play team are great but I know that those ladies for sure always make sure my daughter is happy and having fun while I workout. The YMCA as a whole makes me feel at home and I love how it allows for parents to still keep their goals while bringing our children along. I’m also grateful for the classes and overall experience I’ve been having since I’ve been a member. Thank you YMCA

What do you like about your Y experience?

Yesterday we arrived with our son thinking we had a family membership when we didn't - Crystal was able to sign us up in the last hour of stay-and-play and our baby was able to play for a few minutes. We really appreciated her positive attitude and helpful nature!

Josiah, Cam and Mimi were so kind at stay-and-play! They gave me a comforting feeling as a mother who is nervous to leave her baby alone at 11mo. Thank you to everyone <3

What do you like about your Y experience?

Love the classes and friendly staff. The Y offers something for everyone. Gotta love the fireplace too!

Would like to note that I don’t think the new ceiling lighting in the Littauer Rm was the great choice. When lying on your mat, you look up and the light glares in your eyes. We needed lights with covers or lights that are directed upwards. It also seems crazy that the selection would be glass. Though it’s very unlikely to happen, it’s breakable!

What do you like about your Y experience?

My cycling class with Paul Smith is excellent. Great coaching and music for this first-timer. He has made a point to learn our names and asks about activities I do.

I have gotten my machine circuit training and have started doing that a few times a week. Good way to target muscle groups to build muscle strength. Hasn’t been crowded when I have gone.

What do you like about your Y experience?

Beautiful facility with great family features (pool, splash pad, rock wall, stay-and-play, etc). Everyone is always super welcoming, we absolutely love the staff.

Only reason I didn't give 10 stars = Many of the kids classes look really interesting but are scheduled too early (starting 4-5pm). West Towson Elementary (the school zoned for the community the Y is in) doesn't even start dismissing until 4:05. Add in working parents and arrival before 5 is nearly impossible. Would love to see more of the classes starting at 5:30 or later. Especially would love some additional rock-climbing class options (additional weekend class or one later evening class) since the current weekday time of 4:10 automatically makes it unavailable to all the local west towson students.

What do you like about your Y experience?

Welcoming atmosphere from the friendly front desk folks to the great group ex instructors. I love that the members are of diverse backgrounds and age. The members always make room for each other in a full yoga class. The community spirit at this Y is amazing. The only improvement I can recommend is for the Aerobic studio floor to be cleaned regularly.
