Member Testimonials
I really enjoy the Orokawa Y in Towson because it has such a warm, welcoming community feel. It’s a beautiful, thoughtfully designed facility with a wonderful pool, convenient parking and consistently kind, friendly and professional staff. Most of all, I appreciate that it doesn’t have the competitive or intimidating atmosphere that some gyms can have. It feels comfortable, inclusive and supportive—a place where people of all ages and fitness levels can feel at home.

Every one is very friendly and helpful
The helpful and healthy staff as well as the variety of equipment and training options that exist.
Equipment is clean and well maintained.
I like the flexability of drop in classes,.
I love access to the pool, water, exercise classes, and the sauna.
Warm friendly faces and wonderful classes that help promote healthy bodies and sharp clear minds.
Really enjoying all the wonderful classes and instructors. People are so welcoming and friendly thank you!
I pretty much only use the pool and love it.
Can we have a gentle yoga class online with Pia from the Towson Y. She teaches the Tuesday night 5:15 class. Due to its popularity, the class is crowded and there are usually no tickets left to participate in the class for people who don't arrive very early. In addition, when class participants are out of town, it would be great to log-in and participate with her in class. Even if you could just record a few classes of her teaching and archive these on-line that would be very helpful for those who cannot make it to class due to a disability, illness or have to be out of town. I asked Pia about this possibility and she is very open to this idea. However, over the last several months I have asked Towson Y staff members to explore how they could make this happen, nothing seems to come of it. Who would I contact at the Central Y main office about this matter?

I really like the friendly and helpful staff. The facilities can always be made to suit my needs. The place can get a little crowded at times but it ebbs and flows and I can always adjust my workouts.
It's near. I have four Y's that I routinely visit. They are always neat, hosted by friendly folk, and the pools, a special love of mine since I have averaged 2/3 of a mile swim each day for the last four months.
It is what I expected
Friendly staff and super fun dance classes, body pump, and cycle classes. Also my daughter does the swim team.
It's a friendly place with all of the equipment that I need.

Like the spacious area with the machines. Like the pool for sing laps. Haven't taken advantage of the classes.
Don't love that high school boys monopolize the weight machines in the afternoons. The current weight machine circuit is kinda lame. I'm 50 and I think I'm too cool for it!!
Nice clean welcoming
One of the best place to meet friend and to work out
We enjoyed our demo exercise class yesterday with Stephanie (trainer), who was amazing! Thank you
