Water arthritis

I currently have been using the walking track & the outdoor pool.
I wanted to let you know how impressed I am with the lifeguard staff.
They are very attentive to every area of the pool.
Great job with having activities during the day for kids at the pool,

Group fitness instructors, ARC blood drives on site.

I like the staff and equipment. The locker rooms and showers need a renovation. If the changing rooms were renovated the West Chester YMCA would be the best gym in the area.

Excellent teachers, variety of classes for all levels, clean facility and friendly staff

Convenience. Friendly staff.

Activities are generally, well organized and scheduled. However, I am very upset about the recent re-org of the weight room/fitness center. WAY too much space for weights (now in two locations) and the machines and cardio equipment are really crowded together and there is only one of each machine! Also, there is now almost zero open swim/lap swim during the day.

The pool

Great classes and childwatch. Pool also is awesome!

You have wonderful instructors. You offer a variety of classes. Everyone is so friendly!

Wide variety of equipment; very experienced and helpful staff; great atmosphere; wonderful programs for all ages.

1. Friendly and helpful welcome desk.
2. Very clean women's locker rooms.
3. Lap swim lanes in both indoor pools throughout day + year.
4. E-gym convenient and easy to use.
5. Indoor track. (I have asthma/allergies, so outdoor walking not always possible.)
6. Very pleasant and friendly atmosphere throughout.
7. I am almost 80 years old. I feel safe and comfortable (and welcome!) at the West Chester YMCA.

Very family friendly, instructors do a nice job with the kids

Variety of guest speakers and programs as crafts.

Equally attentive to each child.

I like the quantity and quality of the programs and the amount of variety there is for working out - like actual GOOD swimming pools for lap swimming and the free outdoor pool memberships at ANY of the facilities is INCREDIBLE! I LOVE that! And the fact that you can go to any Y (I know there is a 50 mile rule or something like that, but basically it is like any Y) in the nation, that is unbelievable.
Then there are trainers, group fitness classes. The times for group fitness are amazing, like any time of the day basically you can find time for a group fitness class, and any type of group fitness which is the best part! There is really no way for other gyms to be able to compete with the Y. I know price is a thing, but honestly like all employers offer some sort of 10% discount, the Y gives vets and first responders (thank you!) discounts and you can't beat the membership. It might be more expensive than planet fitness or LA fitness, but it is SOOO much better! And when you walk in the door, you feel like you belong. You do not get that from LA. You walk in LA and think am I glamorous enough to be a member? Where the Y is like Wawa, everyone feels like they can fit right in and have a serious workout, but hav fun while doing it.

Jim my personal trainer and Jen my spin class instructor keep we going and motivated.

Knowing the group exercise schedules and preregistering for classes, guaranteeing a spot in the class is so helpful in my busy schedule. The instructors I take classes with are amazing. They take the time to get to know me personally. They are great people!

Very engaged staff. Gives that “communit

Everything
