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.

Bill is a very good instructor. I see a tremendous progress in my daughter's swimming. She has progressed from being very scared of water to someone who wants to go swimming whenever we get free time.

Tracy is an amazing and patient swim instructor

Gwen has been amazing - she’s encouraging and kind, gently helping my kid overcome some of his inhibitions whilst being firm. He’s come a long way.

Great programs

Professional trainers with personal approach for individual needs. Clean environment.

I love the diversity of membership; the classes; the convenient location; the opportunities to help in the community (ex.Angel Tree; Red Cross blood donations; access to other volunteer opportunities like GOTR). I am a 25+ year member and have seen the Y grow, become more professional with an intentional effort to reach into the community and actively attract a diverse membership. I especially appreciate all of this in today's sometimes isolating and divisive political time. I am proud to be a member. Thank you!
