Member Testimonials

Swimming. Great pool.

(I just go there to swim laps. I’m sure there are many other lovely opportunities.)

great variety

Diverse, lots of levels.?good schedules.

I like the Fit Lite class.

I love the friendliness and engagement of the instructors. It sets the tone in the class. I love that they welcome everyone and spend a little time to be sure they introduce themselves. It means so much to know they care. .

Flexibility of times offered

Just signed up, but loving working out there!

Wide variety of programs and exercise options.

I like that there are many options of different exercise equipment and multiple varied classes. I especially like EGYM!

I wish the Recreation pool was open on a daily basis for lap swims (including the 12:00-3:00 window). I also wish the lockers in the women's locker room were wider - they are so narrow I can't store my gym bag (my husband has complained about the same problem with the lockers in the men's room). There a few slightly wider lockers in the women's room but not always available.

Thank you!!

I love the classes I participate in, and the instructors. The classes are getting larger (Pilates) and the room is not that big. The only downsize I see. More classes would be nice.

Many to choose from for adults and children

Front desk service when you first arrive is helpful, courteous, knowledgeable, spends plenty of time answering all your questions. You don’t feel pressured into making any decisions.

Like the variety of workout machines.
Don't like the new matrix machines, can't find settings on home pages
few choices to find settings.

I only use the exercise equipment and track, but I like the new E-Gym machines, and I like that your equipment is well maintained. I do have one suggestion - I also have a membership at another gym, and go there more than I go to the Y because they have a Pectoral Fly/Rear Deltoid machine I like to use every day. I think it's a Life Fitness brand machine, but it may be Matrix.

Kind staff, clean facilities, always open when we need it! Thank you for everything you do!

I like Kevin Coles aqua classes in the deep well.

I have always enjoyed using the indoor track, warm water pool and steam room amenities, but the recent addition of the high-tech EGYM equipment, is now by far, my most favorite part of visiting the West Chester YMCA location.

Jane is a great instructor for Silver Sneakers!

Love the group classes & variety of options 😊

Your programs and activities have flexible time slots making it easy for everyone to find an activity to suit their schedule.

We like the varied options, the clean gym and access to lap lanes for swimming

The Y offers many Options for seniors !

I am very close to the Lionville Y but I did come to West Chester to swim when the pool in Lionville was closed temporarily. There are 10 lap lanes so very seldom do you have to share.
Beautiful facility and very pleasant staff.

Spacious swim area and good instructors

Good facility and instructors

Although we are not members, we have really enjoyed the Parent/Child swim lessons - our daughter loves being in the pool. However, we did learn that for future sessions, the toddlers/kids will not be able to hang out in the kid pool before and after the lessons. If that's true, I'm not sure we'll be signing up for future lessons given the current price of the lessons and how valuable that extra time is for allowing my daughter to really get used to the water and enjoy her time in the pool.

The instructors are patient with the children.

Very competent instructors.
