I would recommend everyone to come thru they have so much to offer especially for the kids I’m a lower income parent so anything fun with my kids is amazing to me because it’s hard for me to afford certain things so the family events is really beneficial to me it gives me memories with my kids that’s less costly or free the cost of living is high so high so it gives my pockets a break
I like the friendliness

Participating in group fitness classes opened a door to making new friends with healthy habits.
Great
Will took his time to give us a tour of the building, and he was very informative about the classes and what was available to us. In addition he was very pleasant to me and my children.
The Weinberg Y is a welcoming space for all, including for families in Baltimore City, and has personally saved my sanity and my fitness routine as a parent of young children. The fitness instructions I've encountered have all been high-energy and motivating, helping me to keep to a consistent class routine. My children have had a great experience with the swim classes. I appreciate the early and late operating hours for flexibility and the many events for kids and families on the weekends and evenings, and most especially appreciate Stay and Play so that I have the opportunity to get in a good workout midweek while the kids enjoy themselves. Associates are all friendly and helpful, and the environment reflects the diversity of the broader community in all facets.
Variety of classes and friendly staff
Has all the equipment I need. Clean with good air conditioning.
Grateful to the Y for all the memories my son & I have made over the years! It's just the 2 of us so finding activities we can do together becomes harder the older he gets. The Y has been essential to our bonding. The groups from The Rites of Passage to Big Brothers/Big Sisters I hope will inspire him to grow into a mentor for youth when he’s of age. The Y will Always be Our Happy Place!!
It is clean and bright. It has people from all sorts of backgrounds. It has great programs for kids. The staff are super friendly and helpful. This is a huge gift to the comkunity
Everything what I would live to do is the swim exercise classes or just the family swim and just to make it at least 2-3 times a week i love the day care part the way your greeted when you come in the family stem I would also love to make the chair exercise classes and the line dance class on Fridays
I would recommend two things.
1) the mini lockers in the hallway are needing to be reset. Looks like someone locked them incorrectly making are large portion of them unusable.
2) the workout circuit machines need occasional monitoring by one of the blue shirt Y attendants. People frequently sit doom scrolling on their phones instead of doing reps and moving on. Maybe signage in the are would help. Maybe a business opportunity for one of the trainers as sitting at a machine like it's a recliner is really not a effective work out.
I understand this is a problematic thing to manage as it may offend someone, but it's not fair to other members who would like to get a workout completed in a reasonable amount of time.
Overall, I appreciate the YMCA and the role it plays in supporting health, fitness, and community wellness. The facility provides a solid fitness environment, but there are a few additions that would make the member experience even stronger.
I would love to see the facility consider adding a therapeutic hot tub or whirlpool, especially for recovery, joint relief, and post-workout relaxation. This would be a major benefit for members who train regularly, play sports, or are managing stiffness, soreness, or mobility issues.
From an equipment standpoint, I would also recommend adding a pec deck/rear delt machine for chest and shoulder development, as well as a seated lat pulldown machine to better support back training and upper-body strength. These are common strength-training pieces that would help round out the fitness area and better serve members focused on resistance training.
Lastly, it would be great if the Y could offer sports massage or recovery services, even on a limited schedule or through a partner provider. That would align well with overall wellness, injury prevention, and active aging.
Thank you for continuing to improve the facility and for giving members the opportunity to provide feedback.
The Waverly Y has brought a new dimension to my life. I’m an old lady with time on my hands and questions in my mind, like, what to do today? The Y has erased that! The minute I joined the Y everyone at the front desks made me feel welcomed and not only with their words but also with their smiles and their eyes. I’m so grateful to this organization and celebrate the day I joined.
