Member Testimonials

It's cost effective and there are several activities for the entire family at all ages

Everything!

The staff members are friendly and helpful. The facility we most often use is the fitness center at Oscar Lasko. It is well lit, cooled and clean.
My wife and I disappointed that the sanitary wipes that been available in earlier years have been replaced with spray bottles and paper towels. The towels disintegrate when you use them to wipe the sprayed surface.
I assume this was a change prompted by cost, inventory shrinkage and misuse.As a former business manager I understand why you made the change but would appreciate it if you could return to the former system.
When we visit the Airport Rd facility it is of course much busier but we have always enjoyed those visits as well.

I guess you could call us "happy campers"

The weight floor is never crazy busy. At least, not the times I’m there. I rarely have to wait for a piece of equipment to be available.
Everyone is friendly and helpful.

I am a guardian for my brother who is part of the adaptive swim class.
The former instructor Alyessia & her staff were great with my Brother .
My hats off to all staff who work with the intellectually disabled students in the water .
It takes special people to work with these students .
Thank You!

The staff there is always very friendly and welcoming and the space is very clean

Love the classes, the family atmosphere, the availability of the childcare, the free coffee - basically everything!

The people are friendly the pool is clean and so are the dressing areas

Love the West Chester Y! Besides they amazing team that works there (they are all helpful, supportive and actively making each member feel welcome!), I like that there are comprehensive programs that are geared to whole body health for all ages!

I love the classes. I especially like Jenny's spin class. As well as Jackie's Pilates class. They are excellent instructors !

Clean facility great staff and lots of choices

Friendly staff

The variety of exercise opportunities.

I enjoy the lite fit classes and the use of equipment. Always availabe when I go.

The classes, location, instuctors(spinning, yoga, ) the staff at the desk or upstairs on the exercise floor are all great. We mainly use Airport Road, I have used in town once in a while. All good, keep up the good work!

I am very new as a member. Brian (staff) has been extremely helpful to get me started at your club. That is a huge factor.

Staff at front desk -friendly.

The facility is very well maintained and equipped, staff is very friendly and most of all it has a relaxed family like environment.

I like the way the staff interacts with my family. Every staff (e.g., member service, Y coach, personal trainer, swimming coach, and even life guard!) is awesome!

I like the classes, especially pilates, barre fitness and step aerobics. I plan on trying yoga. I also like the elliptical machine. The staff is very friendly.

Joining the West Chester YMCA was a fantastic decision for our family. My boys love the play area, I love the classes and the fitness center, and the whole family enjoys the pool facilities. We also take advantage of Parent's Night Out once a month and we love the fact that our family membership is offered at a discount because I am an educator. In addition, my four year old is looking forward to the soccer program beginning in a couple weeks and basketball this coming winter. The facility is clean and well maintained and the staff is helpful and friendly. I truly can't say enough about our continued positive experiences at the WCA YMCA. Keep up the great work!!:)

Facilities, Track, STAFF, Locker rooms spacious and clean. Would like 30 minute body pump classes geared towards older members, or kept the same but within 30 minutes . UMLY has 1 B P like this.

Well equipped Wellness Center. A variety of exercise programs for all age groups. Most especially, the WC Y is staffed with people who really care about its members, and they are more than willing to extend a helping hand to anyone needing help of one kind or another.

Thank you.

I am primarily an UMLY member. I like the many class offerings every day, especially the spin classes offered by the WCY. Every instructor is very friendly and welcoming, although I cannot say the same for some members. During enhancement week, there were clearly several members who were very put out by the fact that "UMLY people" were taking their space, spot, bike, etc. in class. We were even called "seat stealers". Clearly regulars have their routines and really did not enjoy "sharing their toys". I was away during UMLY enhancement week, so I cannot speak to whether or not UMLY people "did not share their toys", too. Perhaps next year, before enhancement week, members from both Y's might need a gentle reminder to welcome the visitors and not make them feel like "moochers".

Clean facility with friendly staff,plenty of exercise equipment and close to home.

We are members at UMLY but the indoor pools are not available for kids much right now, West Chester was great in welcoming us. We loved swimming at the pool.

The rolling cost adjustment based on income.

Friendly and knowledgeable staff at a state-of-the-art facility. Very convenient location and extremely convenient hours!

iI like it very much.

My son and I love this place all year around. My son went to summer camp and currently has swimming lesson.

I like all that the YMCA offers to families. It's very family oriented and you provide childcare and great activities for children. The gym equipment is also new/updated and much cleaner than any other gym I've been a member of locally. The employees also keep an eye on members, which is also unlike any other gym. There is also a full sized pool, which is nice for lap swimming.
