The Y in Catonsville

★★★★★Pete

One of the best YMCAs I’ve been too, the staff is really friendly and will help you out with lifting questions/ spots for heavier lifts + lots of cardio equipment, machines, free weights, pool, rock climbing, and fitness studios. Clases are offered as well, some included with membership and others for extra price. Highly recommend this location for individuals up to families to start getting in the gym and making gains.

Absolutely great stay & play. Employees were incredibly attentive to our 7 month old baby. He had a good time, I’m sure! Wonderful experience and will definitely be back. Thanks!!

Very nice and spacious Y center. I have been coming to this Y center in Catonsville for a very long time (since 1993) and I have never been disappointed. The staff here is always very nice, professional, welcoming and helpful. There is always plenty of fun and healthy things to do here. Never a boring moment here.

I recently deleted a 4-star review I had left for the Y in Catonsville, and after my most recent experience, I feel a 3-star review is more accurate — specifically due to our experience with the Stay & Play area. On February 28th, 2025, my 2-year-old son was asked to clean up, and when he refused, he ended up hitting one of the staff members. I want to be clear — I do not condone this behavior, and as a mom, I understand it’s not okay for my child to hit others, just as I wouldn’t want anyone hitting him. I take full responsibility for my son’s actions and would have gladly worked with the staff to correct the situation. However, the way the staff handled the situation with me was very disappointing. When they told me what happened, they were extremely rude and unprofessional. I tried to speak with a manager about it, but that conversation felt hopeless — there was no effort to communicate or find common ground. This was especially upsetting because until now, my communication with the staff had always been positive, and we had a good understanding. It’s also worth mentioning that my family doesn’t attend the Y every day — there have been months where we haven’t attended at all. Regardless, we have consistently donated to the Y to help support its programs and to continue enjoying our time there. Overall, I’m very disappointed with how this situation was handled. I expected more understanding, communication, and professionalism from an organization that promotes community and family values.

Since I have the membership it has been a pleasure going to the Y. The gym is fantastic very clean and maintained. The bathroom is good and have liquid soap for the shower 🚿. The pool is also.nice the water should be a little bit more hot for the kids but that's ok. So far so very good 👍😊
