Member Testimonials
Excellent programs.
varied activities
The facility is always clean and inviting. The staff is helpful. It’s always something engaging going on at this location.
The people who work at the Y in Towson are very friendly and helpful. The temperature of the pool (83F) is terrific! Other pools that are even a degree colder are just unpleasant for me.
To be clear, I have been twice to the Towson Y and once to the Catonsville....but that is my impression so far.
The staff is very courteous and extremely helpful.
One of the things that I really miss is the steam room that we had at the old Y-in just a few minutes you had a great sweat going instead of ten to twelve minutes-what a great feeling !
Great
Love eGym. Wish you would add eGym abducter/adducter machine!!
The Orokawa Y is one of the best community centers in the Baltimore area. The gym equipment and exercise classes are great, but what really keeps me coming are all the other resources available: charging stations for electric vehicles, childcare, places to sit and work at a computer, and now the outdoor splash pad. The only thing(s) I wish the Orokawa Y had more of is charging stations, and guest passes to get more people to come!
Very professional, amd the process went smoothly
I love going to the Y. However, I find some of the classes I take are way too crowded. Some require a coupon to participate but that is not always endorsed. Many manage to take the class even without a coupon. That tells me the class is popular but perhaps there should be more like it. I would also like to see more classes geared to the older adult. Perhaps a class similar to body pump but more conducive to the senior. Seniors need to build bone to prevent osteoporosis, and the best way is through weightlifting but not as vigorous as body pump. I have been going to the Y a very long time and most of my peers tend to be close to my age. I don't feel ready to go to the senior center to get my exercise needs yet.
Thanks for providing a great space to work out, swim and feel good!
Zumba and Werq dance classes are amazing and so fun!
I love Body pump and Cycle class too!
I love everything about my Y experience !

Excellent always! The front desk team is so friendly on the weekends when we arrive with our kids. I’d like to give big kudos to the Sunday morning ladies who often check us in. They are so friendly.
I’d like to also give a shout out to the kids center team. They are incredibly welcoming and our kids love going there.
Friendly staff. Early group classes that let me get a good workout in before work.
I like the exercise class and the instructor.

I like the wide variety of activities available. I meet new people there each week. The Y has everything I need to stay fit and healthy. The staff are helpful and available for me.
Accessibility - hours open, locations, welcoming atmosphere
Kids classes and sessions - swimming, taekwondo, rock climbing, etc.
Has everything I need, including a place for my grandchild while I workout.

It’s so easy to go in and work out. There are plenty of machines available, a small room for working out as well. Parking is super easy & the staff is very nice.
