What do you like about your Y experience?

Personally, I love the Expresso Bikes. A wide range of workouts from 1 mile to 20 miles that provide a good simulation of actually riding outside! Pacers and ghosts from previous rides to keep you motivated, plus extensive statistics so you can see your performance over time.

What do you like about your Y experience?

Please tell people to speak on cell phones
In the lobby. It is distracting to listen to conversations and other things while trying to work out. I wish you had a designated quiet room to use treadmills and ellipticals.

Can you get people to stop slamming weights?
I know that might be difficult.

The people at the front desk are always so nice.

What do you like about your Y experience?

My kids love the variety of classes they can try and I love that they are either free or very inexpensive, so it feels like very little risk, as they are 5 year olds and just starting to explore organized sports.

Just a suggestion- please put up coat hooks on a wall somewhere. Now that it’s getting cold, coats are everywhere and using locker rooms with small children in tow is not convenient or feasible sometimes. People are hanging coats on treadmills, leaving them in heaps on the floors, would be nice to have an area to hang the coats and not need to access a locker.

What do you like about your Y experience?

The Y for me is habit - more - a life style decision where I can walk up to old age and say "Get out of my face!" I go nearly every other day since I get an email every month commending my steadiness. Before hiring staff, I think that they must obtain some sort of friendliness quotient. I go regularly to Parkville, Towson and 33rd. My grandson works at Catonsville and I find the same thing: a pleasant greeting, paying attention to questions, desire to assist.
I'm a lap swimmer. I go into the changing rooms and they are always clean. The cleaning staff behave like they are honored to get a prim and proper place.
I spend about an hour and a half in the pool each visit. Minutes churn. If someone want to join me in my lane or vice versa, there is always cordial welcome and we keep going.
Hard to recognize that exercise ain't fun.
