What do you like about your Y experience?

It’s new, state of the art, clean, friendly, inexpensive, Parking is good and not to far from the front door, has a sense of community, hours that it’s open are vast, staff actually look you in the eye, smile and speak clearly, organized and keep the members needs in the forefront.

What do you like about your Y experience?

I’ve been a member of the YMCA in various states for my entire life. Twenty plus yrs ago when we moved here from out of state I was disappointed at the management, the director and of course the physical building at the time. Since then everything has changed for the better and I’m glad to see how VERY conscientious they are regarding germ control, social distancing, wearing of masks and cleaning of the equipment. Very impressed to see that there is someone always walking around cleaning the equipment thoroughly with disinfectant after it’s been used. These same practices are being executed in the pool area as well. The smaller exercise rooms are closed and so is the child care, but this is understandable for now.
Very impressed with how the YMCA has taken a serious approach to keeping everyone safe who enters and uses their facilities and I’m not surprised.
We have always had a good experience whenever there was a need to ask for directions on the use of equipment/how we should be doing certain exercises etc.. The trainers are always willing to share what they know (unless of course they’re working privately with a client) The check in people are friendly and your always greeted with a smile and HELLO.
Our family uses the facilities on a regular basis, even now during these trying times of Covid 19.
Our personal practice has always been to come directly home from the gym and shower. Now during these times it’s more important not to make a quick stop into the pharmacy or the grocery store etc before reaching home to shower. That’s just something I’ve made a priority. The Y is doing everything within their powers to stay clean and safe and so should we.
We’re thrilled that the YMCA of Maryland and Towson have gone to such lengths to keep the facilities open and clean for the good of the community not only for the physical activities they provide but, how being active affects us mentally as well, and we all need this more than ever. We’ll support the Y however we can.

What do you like about your Y experience?

We have used the pool and the outside fitness classes so far. We feel completely safe in those environments and appreciate all the staff is doing so that we can feel that way.

When indoor group fitness classes start again, we are unsure with how safe we will feel and it may take us some time to "warm up" to that. Some things that would help us feel safe is limiting class sizes and opening classroom doors and allowing the space to "air out". We would love to hear that the Y has a ventilation system in place that uses outside air but understand this may be a long shot.

Thank you for all that you are doing!
