many gentle yoga classes

friendly front desk staff

Instructors are so helpful and friendly. Large variety of classes

Group exercise classes. The offerings are good abd instructors are great

I like that your indoor competition pool has alot of open lap swimming time. I also like your back locker rooms. And I like that you have group ex classes in the gym, like Attack and Grit. It is more roomy and appropriate for those classes. And the front desk people in the early AM on weekdays are very friendly.

It is such a pleasure and a privilege to be able to share in the dynamic, family atmosphere at the Brandywine Y. It is so full of life with all ages participating in the rich schedule of activities. The staff are wonderful. Thank you every one.

The indoor pool especially the competitive pool is great. Many hours of 10 lanes swimming. It is clean temperature great
The locker room is clean always warm water floor almost always dry
Staff of front desk are very courteous and helpful
An awesome gym

I exercise on my own and have not participated in classes.

Love taking classes, especially combat and body pump, thank you to our great instructors!

Everything

Classes are great.
I would like to see the space markers used during COVID back in the AR and gym so other people know the proper spacing.

I like the variety of programs and community feel of the Y there is something got everyone. I just wish there were more group classes after work like pre pandemic.

The variety of classes and times that you offer.

I can’t recommend the West Chester Area Y highly enough. Our family benefits immensely from the programs for kids, including the camp, swimming and child watch. Everyone I’ve met who works and attends has been just lovely. The people at the camp are so caring and patient - our kids just love it. The child watch set up is so cool. The kids have a blast playing on the indoor climbing equipment.

I like and participate in mind-body classes and other wellness classes. I liked when classes were kept smaller. I will no longer attend classes in the small Mind-Body Studio in West Chester. They raised the maximum in the room to 22, which is too crowded for Yoga & Pilates classes in that small enclosed area. Max should be lowered back to 15. The upstairs Aerobics Studio is a large room, but 40 in that room is too many. We had 26 this morning for a class and it felt very crowded. I wear a mask going into the facility, but I do not want to go back to wearing a mask while participating in a class. You need to reinstate the 6 foot distance rule for classes again.

Lots of kid friendly activities

I love the variety of classes and the times. Instructors are great! The aerobics room is bright and clean. Friendly staff at the front entrance.

GroupEx instructors, schedules and offerings

I get a lot from the Silver Sneakers program but I wish it returned to the Oskar Lasko Center.

I do have a suggestion and that is to try to start up with some rebounding/trampoline classes?

Overall I like the group fitness classes and the cleanliness of the gym.

Group exercise classes

Love the deep water Aqua fit class. Wish there was one after work hours

Group exercise classes

Using the exercise room for continuing shoulder therapy. My only suggestion is to have a couple more padded tables for stretching and prone weight training. Excellent facility overall.

Quality of facility and broad access times available for lap swim

zumba classes and swimming lapsers program are awesome!
I wish you had muay thai or self defense classes.

Babysitting

The staff--from check in to checkout-- are uniformly friendly&knowledgeable. The facility is very clean. The other patrons are polite in a low ley way. What's not to like?
