Member Testimonials

We like that there is something for everyone at UMLY. Our kids take karate lessons. My husband works out in the wellness center. I take classes, and work with a trainer. I feel like UMLY staff and instructors really care that we are successful with our health and fitness goals and encourage us to be our best selves. We feel a sense of community at our branch.

It’s a great family place. Plenty of activities to suit everyone.

The staff, the facilities, the members—The list goes on....Just a great place!!!!

Wide range of offerings.

Variety of programs and scheduling options

Multiple swimming pools provide lap swim time, when life guards are available, except from 3:30 -4:00 in the Bubble pool, when the teams start using the B pool. It's also nice to have lap time available in the Bubble on Saturdays.

B pool is excellent for lap swimming. Fitness room has better than average equipment diversity.
Staff are friendly.

Nice place to go for the workout.

very good pool hours for all types of swimmers- lap, recreational, therapeutic, team etc.

Adam and Jonathan are excellent employees of the Main Line YMCA. They are always extremely helpful and an asset to the YMCA

Friendly, supportive environment. Knowledgeable instructors. Great classes.

Variety

The staff is awesome! All are so friendly going out of their way to make sure the kids have a great time.

I Just like the gym. I don’t find time to join other programs or activities

Group exercise classes are really good ad instructors are pay attention on everybody’s postures while working out.
Instructors should be open to other people’s suggestions and requests regarding workout.

The exercise class (cycling) are awesome with the new bikes and the instructors are great. My kids also love the programs (bball and swim).

facility

I would love to have more options for adult (age 25-40) team programs like volleyball, basketball, etc.

The group exercise program is what I use the most. I like the instructors and how well run it is.

I do not participate in programs and activities, but I hear good things from families that do. I use the facilities and appreciate the variety of equipment and the friendly staff.

Love the gym, the CrossFit gym, the pools and especially the staff. Such an uplifting place!

Variety, accessibility, affordable. However I do think the swim team gets way to much attention and all the prime times. Is it possible to bring an external trainer with me to the Y for gym/fitness room training?

Large schedule and variety of activities and training possibilities

I like everything about the Upper Mainline Y. Beautiful, well maintained facilities, friendly, staff, and a very open and accepting atmosphere.

I enjoy the group exercise classes. I feel my energy and overall strength has improved.

Love to swim

Very good facilities, friendly courteous staff, important mission.

I love the variety and the people that do them. My daughter is involved in several different activities at the Y, and all of the teachers are great. She loves Denise the dance teacher and is always excited to see her. My son attends CELC and loves the teachers. I recommend every chance I get.

Child care is amazing! Mary is a kid whisperer. And swim lessons with Bill have been fantastic so far.

Good teacher in this program.
