Member Testimonials

Friendly, non-threatening atmosphere for exercising

I love the variety of offerings - I developed health issues that prevent me from doing what I used to do, but you offer so much that helps me to get stronger.
The instructors of my classes are upbeat and so helpful.

Good exercises!

Senior Strength us perfect. Just what all "Seniors" need. Strength and strength of equal measure.. Nicole is fantastic!

Cleanliness of facility and upkeep on equipment

People are friendly. Take time to know each person. Facilities are clean and comprehensive.

Mr. Patrick has been very kind to and patient with our son in his swim leassons.

We had a great time in our swim lessons!

Keeping the same instructor for the session length

Increasing session length for swim was helpful!

The attentiveness to the children and kind teachers.

Great family pool.

Work out equipment & competition pool

It was nice to have an area to bring my little one to interact with peers and find a live of the water

His teacher continued to progress him each week. It was a perfect balance of structure, encouragement and nurturing. Very professional and also made it fun and engaging for my son. He made more progress with YMCA than he had made with goldfish swim school.

Good, patient instructors who focus on technique.

There are so many options to take advantage of, and kind, friendly Staff members to help you along the way. I like that the Staff has been key to my enjoyment of the YMCA, especially my Personal Trainer, Julia, who has been wonderful.

the facility was great. The swim meet was chaotic and incredible disorganized. it looked like you guys never ran a meet in the past

Classes and instructors are challenging and inspiring!!

new outdoor pool policies

Egym is great. I Love the variety of classes that you offer though I haven't taking advantage of them yet, I plan to one day. I like that you have many treadmills with TVs up front.

Programs are diverse and inclusive.

You have a lot to offer you listen to what the people want Prices are teasonable

Senior Citizens have many opportunities.

Silver Sneakers has become an important part of my daily life, and the West Chester Area YMCA has made that possible. There is plenty of parking. The desk staff keeps the line moving so if I'm a little late, I don't have to worry about being held up at this point. The facilities are clean and well maintained. The exercise/training staff are competent, friendly, and helpful. The props needed (yoga blocks, straps, etc.) are generally available. And, the icing on the cake is an executive director who genuinely cares for the smooth running of the Y. Unlike many organizations, she actually teaches classes, so she can see what is going on rather than retreating behind closed doors. She has her finger on the pulse of the organization so she can address any issues that might arise.

The instructors!!

Programs are constantly updated. I like the running track above the gym. Excellent pickleball sessions. Great staff.

Large variety of programs, enthusiastic & reliable staff & lifeguards

You offer a wide variety of activities for people of all ability levels. Modifications are offered by staff. I don't have young kids but if I did, I wouldn't hesitate to use your child care. Staff is very helpful. Bathrooms clean.

I like that there is a good variety of classes at various times. I especially appreciate and use the eGym. I’m glad our Y chose to trial it. I convinced my sister & her husband to travel from Brandywine Y to try it out. They keep coming back!
