The renovations helped but this gym is still SERIOUSLY lacking. They finally do have 4 benches(2 flat, and 2 incline) which has helped tremendously. However, where is the second or third squat/multipurpose rack? On average people are waiting around 15 – 30 minutes for the squat rack, which is insane. Only reason I go here is because its the only decent gym in Catonsville. Once they get more squat/multipurpose racks I would rate this gym about 4 stars. Also, membership prices are extremely high for the lack of equipment. When comparing the price I pay here to Gold’s gym, Gold’s is actually cheaper, however it is further which is why I do not belong there.

Wonderful gym and looks great after the renovations. My gripe is there are not enough bars for all of the benches, there is always one bench without a bar because there aren’t enough. I cannot, will not, give 5 stars until there are more barbells. One for every bench and one extra as well like other locations have. Still a good gym.

It’s so much more than a gym. It’s a great place for the entire evening. Always clean!!! Great classes. And a really good smoothie bar.

This place is the best deal you’re gonna get on a gym membership. Most classes are included with the monthly membership fee and personal training is offered for an additional fee. There is a swimming pool, showers, and lockers available. There is even a daycare center on site for busy parents who need to get a workout in! This is a great community center. You will often find a wide variety of people of all ages here at all times. I love the Y!!!

If you’re looking for an affordable gym in the area, look no further! With the new renovations they now have everything… two group exercise rooms, a cycling room, a separate weight room, a rock climbing wall, a pool, tons of exercise equipment, a fireplace, a smoothie bar, and kids club and a room with computers in case you need to catch up on work in between sets! The parking lot has even been expanded so that you can usually find parking without any issues though prime time hours are still crowded! They also have a great inclement weather policy so you don’t have to feel rushed when there is a school delay… they truly believe in safety first for all members and employees!

What a great place! They just did renovations, and it’s like new. Now, this isn’t a big as some other Y’s, but it more than does the job. The staff is friendly and always willing to help out. The place includes a pool, cardio machines, two rooms for classes, a shake/smoothie bar, a pool, a climbing wall, and two nice places to hang out if you’re waiting for someone. Thanks for all you do, YMCA!

Really nice renovations! Stopped in to check it out and left with a lot of information and 5 day pass for the a future visit. The place is a lot bigger and offers a lot of nice modern amenities. When I came pack for class with my 5 day pass I had to issues coming in and trying it out. Used a few machines and had no wait and got to my zumba class early. The class was great, the room bright, large, and good fans to keep us cool! I am excited to join this YMCA in the next week.

It’s under construction, but is kept clean. I haven’t attended any of the classes but they offer quite a few… and childcare. Everyone’s very friendly.

Tiny gym… you gotta have if codes for most machines which makes a fat burning routine a pain to jump from machine to machine… they need to have a 30minute timed out sessions… really not worth joining this gym… stay away join another gym

I love this gym and the folks who work there. Friendly and knowledgeable. I can’t recommend any specific trainer because they’re all good.(Ok…Zack and Avery are really good. Avery had my son gassed during one workout) The gym is small but efficient. Although there are few to zero muscleheads, there is a decent amount of heavy lifting equipment; squat tracks, incline and decline benches. There are lots of classes for just about everybody; yoga, spinning. There is also a decent sized pool that is always crowded on the weekends. The Y provides day care services too. The Y is a good place to work out for everyone. It’s a little more than some places, but it’s worth it if you can afford it.
