Member Testimonials
I love the towson Y --- it's so clean and bright and seems more like an expensive gym than what someone would expect of a YMCA. The smoothie bar is great and my children love the pool. Ive been very happy with the childcare as well as the classes. I just have to go more often! My kids love the game room and I'm excited that my son is six now and can try the rock wall. My three year old did ballet lessons last month and my son did swimming lessons a few years back. Had great instructors both times.
What I don't love....
The water slide...My son has been begging to use it for three years now. I understand the importance of the swim test and unfortunately he still can swim the length of the big pool. He can swim though and has gone down water slides in the past. It would be great if a child could go down if a parent is waiting in the pool at the base of the slide, or even if they could use the swimmies/vest to do so. Not a big deal of course, just would be nice. : )
I drive 20 minutes to go to the Towson locations even though the Waverly one is only a few blocks from my house. The main reason is their childcare. The room is dark with fluorescent lighting and just pretty depressing all around. I only took my child once... she was still an infant . There was only one other child there and two staff members. Neither seemed very warm, one was eating fried chicken (greasy fingers) and the other one was missing many teeth (I realize how terrible that sounds! : ( ). That was over two years ago though so could be completely different. There was an excellent staff member at the Towson location, Shea, who I heard relocated to Waverly, so I may give it another chance .
Lots of activities available for the whole family. It's clean, the staff is all courteous and helpful and our kids love it!

The variety of exercise options. The friendly staff too.
I like everything about the Y. In fact, I plan to get my granddaughter involved in some of your offerings as soon as possible.
The Y has a very friendly and supportive atmosphere. It is always clean and welcoming. I think that Thalmus, my trainer, is terrific.
As a new member I love what I've seen so far. keep up the good work! 2 items seen by fresh eyes: 1- The lap pool is murky,... I know it gets a ton of use but if you swim at other pools, like I do, you'd see that there is a lot of room for improvement. 2- A new man needs to be ordered and installed on the foosball table... as it is now with a broken black defenseman, that table us useless for adult play.
thanks!

Thanks for being the " Y "
As a mother of two kids under 4 years old the Y provides a diverse group of activities for the children. In addition, there is a kids (safe) area that I can leave them when I need to work out.
Love this place!
The family atmosphere! My kids like to go for the swimming, programming or just kicking a soccer ball around. It gives us a place to get some activity in during the cold months and the really hot ones. We love it!
Great pool, friendly & energetic staff, up-to-date equipment, lots of instructional programs, reasonable fees.
The facility is comfortable and welcoming and clean. The pool is really fun for my family. There is a lot of workout equipment (Cardo) so even though it was crowded I could use the machine I wanted.
