Member Testimonials

I like the pickleball courts very much and swim several times per week. The only comment is for a couple of times the pool (B) closed earlier than the time published online. Thanks!

I mostly just use the pools. I'm glad that the 50 meter pool has been much cleaner this year.

Diversity of first class options.

We love your programs and activities. Couldn’t be happier!! Thank you!

It is worth the membership fee and then some.

Pickleball!

Just re-joined, but I love that there are lots of exercise classes and the grounds and Mansion are beautiful. I always loved the pool, and I took my first painting classes there.

Nice clean facility. Well run. Lots of programs like tennis, pickleball, Silver Sneakers. Nice, helpful staff. Plenty of parking with much appreciated designated parking closer to the entrance for older adults.

Very much enjoy pickle ball program - thank you. Swim every day - like the pools.

I love the pools, gym, and beautiful grounds.

Grea, clean and safe cavities and courteous staff.

I used only the outdoor pickleball courts. I was very happy that they had a separate check in area and a bathroom available right there.

I am ALWAYS telling people - my family in our area (I can't imagine why they aren't members already), friends, work colleagues - it is the most beautiful "Y" ever! We are so lucky to live so close. It is an amazing campus - inside and out. I feel very confident that areas are cleaned regularly and I feel very comfortable there. Plenty of options in the main "workout" floor - I feel like I can always get on a machine and do what I need to. And, it is such a large area that even when it is crowded, it's not really. Lots of fun classes to try as well.

I like Jane G's yoga classes. I haven't done anything else over the past month. I'm enjoying the weather and rowing on the Shuylkyll River.

My family loves UMLY because it has activities for the entire family to enjoy from the amazing gym/fitness facilities to the camp and sports for kids. We love the energy of the YMCA and the staff is so welcoming and always there to provide support when needed. There truly isn't anything I can think of that is missing from UMLY. We even love to attend the theatre productions from the incredible theatre team! My daughter loves the dance classes, swimming, camp and just playing on the playground. She's also participated in a nature class which was so much fun learning about the beautiful grounds the YMCA sits on. We have nothing but praise for all you do at UMLY!

Thank you! The Maylott Family

I think that the Y does a great job!

There seem to be a lot of pickleball clinics and play times available.

I do have a serious complaint, however, about my experience with the Kennett Y. I signed up for a Beginner Serve and Return clinic to be held on Monday, June 20. Having never been to the Kennett Y before, I went to the main desk at 101 Race Street (the address on my confirmation) to ask where the outdoor pickle courts were. Unfortunately, they were about 3 miles away so I drove to those courts. There was only one other participant there for the clinic (Bruce Fromm). We waited quite awhile for a pro to show up. Finally Bruce contacted Tim Irwin who didn’t know anything about the clinic and who gave Bruce another number to call. Bruce called that number, but was only able to leave a voicemail message. We finally gave up waiting, and I left to file a complaint at the Kennett front desk.

I am very angry, frustrated and downright mad at having to experience this, my first time with my new Y membership. I wasted two hours of my time when I could have been doing something else. This is definitely not a good introduction to membership at the YMCA.

I like swimming
