I did like that there were 3 aqua morning classes daily M-F.
Then after Covid there were only 2 morning aqua classes daily M-F.
Now it seems the Y is struggling with that.
We’re down to 8 classes or less M-F in the morning.
And that’s very disappointing.
However, water classes are what I need and evidently it’s what a lot of seniors need.
Land exercise is too hard on my joints
So I’d rather have what you’re offering than none at all.
Yes I’d still recommend the Y to anyone. It’s a great place for all.
Friendly and have all the equipment that i need. I like the sauna A LOT
It's a beautiful, clean, cheerful enviorment and I enjoy being there.
the facility is clean and not overly crowded. there is a wide diversity of people at the Y
Classes available
The pool, weight machines, elliptical machines, spinning bikes, and friendly staff.
Community
I have enjoyed the challenge opportunity that was offered during the month of December. It encouraged me to set my own goals within the challenge goal. The additional offerings allowed additional opportunities to achieve the challenge of December. The overall experience has me looking toward other goals I can set for myself in the coming new year.
People are always friendly and it's not _too_ crowded.
I am happy with my experience there. The gym is clean and well staffed and the machines function well. All the staff are friendly. The lifeguards are capable and alert.
I think the Y has a good mission.
Honestly my issues are pretty nitpicky- I wish it stayed open longer (it used to stay open to 10 and especially 7 PM on the weekend). I wish the pool was a little more available (it often has the swim team plus swim classes)
STaff is always friendly and welcoming. Great variety of exercise equipment to accomodate any level of workout.
Good schedule of classes.
'The Orokawa Y in Towson has a large variety of equipment that is well maintained. Staff is professional and helpful. The facility is clean and in good condition. The facility is well worth the cost, that is, in my opinion, not overly expensive.
Friendly staff
We enjoy the welcoming atmosphere, the variety of classes, the instructors, and our fellow members.
But one comment: we understand that recent changes resulted in lower compensation for instructors and notice that at least one popular instructor has resigned. Please reconsider any policy that has such an effect. And we also understood that the recent notice about an increase in dues was partly related to compensating staff adequately.
I really like the family pool. I have COPD and it is difficult for me to work out in the gym.
Friendly staff, facilities are well maintained, a wide range of activities and programs.
A good value for the money. No semi-pro gym people grinding through their workouts. Just normal folks that are kind and polite. Lots of activities and facilities that are readily maintained, and always clean and organized. Also, no distasteful music being played during my workout. Having been a member of more than six gyms in my life, this is by far the best. Simply but efficient.
The people I’ve met & friendships that followed, the always pleasant & supportive staff & the pool offerings
We DO need more water classes though
The Orokawa Y in Towson has perfect hours, kept very clean, and the equipment is up to date and well maintained.
Friendly staff.
Sparkling clean.
Love the group exercise classes
I enjoy the atmosphere. Everyone is very friendly
Great classes and instructors and a clean, modern facility. Very friendly staff!
Sense of community, friendly staff, clean modern and well equipped facility, and the fireplace in the lobby
Close to my home, easy access, a good number of fitness classes to pick from, clean facility and helpful employees. Thank you for keep the Towson Y up and running during these difficult times. DKS
