Member Testimonials

I applaud your focus on the safety of those choosing to continue to avail themselves of the fitness options offered by the Y. However, I remain concerned that during most of my daily visits, I have noticed individuals failing to strictly adhere to the mask-wearing policy; too, I have all to often experienced individuals not respecting the 6-foot social distancing mandate.

I care how well you care for the health of your members during this quarantine period. You also have helped families by reducing fees when the y has been closed. There is always a high standard of cleanliness even when there no pandemic.

Friendly staff and choice of classes.

Swim team! It’s the only reason we are members of the Y!
Without the Kennett swim team we would leave. It’s a great program!

When I was working out yesterday I noticed a woman on the treadmill with her mask pulled down under her chin and also a man cycling with his mask only covering his mouth. There was not an attendant around to correct this. It made me feel unsafe and I did report it when I left but now I feel uncomfortable going back.

Variety of classes and the instructors. The instructors have a passion for what they're teaching and it comes across.

Outdoor class

I love the outdoor fitness classes especially with Kelly Jeffries. Please continue with the outdoor classes into winter provided it isn't wet. My oncologist prefers me exercising outdoors instead of indoors in public. I won't be able to use my membership and may have to cancel if outdoor opportunities aren't available. I kept my membership during the shutdown to support the community but may not be in the same financial situation this winter.

Everyone is so nice

Facilities have been arranged in a way to provide good workout area availability and maximize equipment variety, and in a way that is safely distanced, accompanied with rigorous cleaning.
Both indoor and outdoor classes continue to be offered, weather permitting, giving members options for exercising with and without masks. Class teachers are as wonderful and energetic as always, and are really doing a great job of making workouts interesting, challenging and Fun!! We are so proud to be Y members and are genuinely appreciative of all the work that is being done to allow us to work out in one of our favorite places.

It's energizing to get out and interact with my friends at BodyPump. Since we mask and stay socially distanced I and the others feel it's a safe activity, and a way to re-engage safely inspite of Covid-19 !

Wide variety of activities. Great instructors.

I only take Arthritis class, which is very helpful to me, especially after my back surgery. Only disadvantage is that the water is not warm like it used to be.

Distancing is really well done. Most everyone is conscientious about correct mask-wearing and cleaning the equipment. Class leaders are creative and flexible with respect to class times, locations (indoor/outdoor), and sizes. Staff is GREAT!

Friendly staff and very clean!

I like the community environment of this Y. I was a member and instructor at The Brandywine Y in Delaware. Once it expanded, the community feeling was lost for me. Another big fitness center. Normally I love the yoga at Kennett but will have to wait for it to return once COVID is under control.

The reception persons at Kennett are great !!!!!
my congratulations to them.

Clean and excellent staff.

The fitness equipment is great

I love the available training equipment that helps me realize my fitness goal. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable, always ready to help create a great experience!

I like swimming laps in the pool. The water temp is great.

The quality of the instructors, the friendliness of staff and the cleanliness of the facility are top notch.

Warm water swimming pool

The staff and programs are outstanding. It is wonderful uo interact with staff during these difficult times. Very happy that the YMCA is open and here for us.

Exercise programs are gradually being brought back to insure our safety during CoVid times.
Also reduced membership to go along with decreased offerings
