What do you like about your Y experience?

I like the classes. Before the virus I came 5 days a week and did yoga and body pump routinely. I particularly liked any class Kelly taught. She is an outstanding instructor. I also use the machines. I maintained my membership even when the Y was closed. I have met lots of nice people and have enjoyed seeing them in and out of the Y.
My only concern is that some people refuse to wear a mask or wear in on their throat or under their nose while exercising. I wish they would be more considerate.

What do you like about your Y experience?

I am so incredibly impressed with my personal experience at the Y over the past few weeks, since I rejoined. I am a lap swimmer and you have implemented a perfect and smooth plan for reserving lap swim time - and done so in a way that leaves me feeling very safe and comfortable.

I am equally impressed with the email communications over the past 4+ months, which has helped me to understand and appreciate what a phenomenal organization the Y is .
I esp. enjoy the emails from Joe Kirkenir (PA Y).

Your staff at the Towson Y (where I go) is stellar. They are super curteous, cheerful, helpful and smart/informed.

I have nothing but good things to say, based on my experience.

Thanks for providing me with such a wonderful time. I so look forward to going to the Y and it has been instrumental in my mental (and physical) health.

Kudos to you. Thank you thank you thank you!!!!!!!!!

PS I am going to explore some outdoor classes (such as stretch) in the future.

What do you like about your Y experience?

Wonderful facility, good business hours, and friendly staff. I wish you would enforce the mask requirement in the fitness rooms. I can understand not wearing one while running, but there are others not engaged in cardio who do not wear them, including staff!

What do you like about your Y experience?

We felt comfortable working out. A lot of thought has been put into making this possible for us, thanks.

I do like the new water bottle filler located at the water fountains. However, I do have a concern about the water systems located on the work out floor of the Towson Y. I have watched individuals place there water bottles under the water dispenser and it appears that the top of their water bottle, which they drink out of, can come into contact with the water dispenser.

The Towson Y has been so great at making lap swim a safe and enjoyable time. I feel completely secure when I am there and it feels so good to be back in the water and using all my muscle groups again. Thank you staff soooo very much.

What do you like about your Y experience?

We've only been members for 1 week so it's a bit early to answer your question. We're
former members of the Towson Un. Wellness Center and it closed. I'm hoping some of
the adult classes are ones that I'm interested in.

What do you like about your Y experience?

Have only stopped in at the Towson Y to see what adjustments have been made. From what I saw, it looks very good but so far I have not returned. At 82 I am a little hesitant to be around others.
