Member Testimonials

There is a good variety. The instructors give great instruction. It is a relaxed, fun group of people. The entire YMCA is very clean and updated.

Great live classes.

The gym equipment is so nice and well kept.

There is a wide variety to choose from with knowledgable instructors.

Just joined. Mainly use the equipment for flexibility and pain relief from arthritis. Staff is friendly and accommodating. Plan to get more involved in the future

The Jr. NBA basketball program is a huge improvement over years past. The seating in the gym is disappointing though. To be behind the baskets makes it frustrating. We can only see action near the basket we are sitting behind. I wish there were better options for seating at the Kennett gym.

I enjoy the variety of the group classes.

Enjoy the pool and definitely recommend others to join the staff is helpful and knowledgeable

The trainers are great. Helen is the best. The place is spotless. The staff is so welcoming and friendly. The child care people are very patient and friendly. I like the opportunities you provide to give back to the community.

Extensive facilities and fairly clean. The teenage boys over run the weight room and need to be asked to put away the equipment (weights) after use.

Clean locker room. Friendly staff. Good workout equipment.

I love the group exercise classes at the Y.
The instructors are all very dedicated and
enthusiastic which makes working out, fun!
I've met so many wonderful friends in these classes! Working out with friends is the absolute best mood enhancer!

Variety. There's a huge variety at varying times of the day.

Atención, puntualidad, amabilidad y carinosa el trato de los profesores, excelente

I like the variety offered and the availability of the facilities

I love the variety of classes and the instructors! Janice Geniva, Nichole Kilroy and Carol Anne Ganly are some of my favorites!

I had one recent negative interaction that I'd like to share. I brought in some donations for the holiday cheer recently. I had received an email that morning that I thought said individual donations (vice a holiday shop kit) were also being accepted. I had been accumulating items for a holiday shop kit but when I saw the email I decided to bring the items I had (2 games and an art kit filled with art supplies). I brought them to the front desk at the Kennett Y. I asked where I should put them and the employee behind the desk told me they really just needed the holiday shop kits but that she would take what I brought in. I explained I was aware of the shop kit but that I had received an email that morning that indicated individual donations were needed as well. She rudely told me it must have come from theYMCA organization and not the branch and she didn't know what I was referring to. I offered to take them back and bring in the complete kit but she just said no I'll take them. I left embarrassed and ashamed. I have participated in various service programs through the Y for many, many years. I love how they support our local community and reach so many people. I also have particularly appreciated the way the Y has created opportunities for my children to be involved in such activities from a very young age. For example having people take feathers off a turkey to bring in different canned goods etc. This interaction (while an outlier) left a terrible taste in my mouth. Perhaps. I misunderstood the email I received. However, the woman could have handled the situation much better- it was completely unneccessary.

I like EGYM and the pool

Pickleball and Bobypump

I like the variety offered. I especially love that you have added programs for us older folks particularly the classes taught by Nicole Kilroy. I also appreciated the falls prevention classes as well as the seated classes for folks starting back into health .

Very welcoming staff, good equipment, good maintenance, great classes. Love that the little kids are around! So glad the Y’s committed to include all members of our community in their programs, and encourage members to donate to specific groups (women’s period products, winter coats, sneakers, holiday gifts, etc).

All new machines! Clean friendly place.

Friendly staff. Great fitness center. Clean locker rooms.

Helpful friendly staff. Clean, well maintained equipment and facilities. Also, like the Y360 option for home workouts

Nice selection of classes. Staff is always friendly and helpful. Facilities are aways clean and ready for use.

The availability of organized and non organized activities. The equipment, the personnel, the cleanliness, parking, size everything. Is my second home, also the place a made a lot of néw friends.

Pickleball
All your exercise equipment

Less crowded than other branches.

I've become an avid pickleball player. It seems pickleball has become a major indoor gym activity with many more people wanting to play than there is prime time availability.

The Y is my happy place! Great classes, instructors, and equipment.

While working out in weight rooms or playing pickleball its a great way to meet new friends.
