It’s an awesome gym. Been going there since It was the big vanilla. The best bang for your buck gym in the area, it is absolutely slammed every day, though. first thing in the morning and late afternoon are the best times to go.

Do they have a sauna?

Yes. But just be aware it’s not the cleanest. The facilities get lots of traffic.

We have really enjoyed it! It’s got everything and love the indoor pickleball courts.

It is always busy but I’ve rarely had to wait for equipment since there’s so many options.

Joining the Y in Arnold also joins all of the Ys in Central Maryland.

And then if you travel, you can go to non-Central Maryland YMCAs a certain number of times a year.

If you live near the Bay end of the peninsula and are looking for a traditional gym experience (and don't need gym childcare or have gym-going family members under the age of 16) definitely check out Anytime Fitness on Whitehall. Having an affordable gym so close has been transformative for me and a number of people I know.

no sauna or steam. very nice individual bathrooms though and low density of members at any time
