The staff is friendly and invested in helping me achieve my fitness goals.

Great environment, and great staff.

I love that I can go to my home base YMCA for most of my needs, but that I can also visit other area YMCAs in the GBW group at times if there are classes offered there that interest me or suit my schedule better than the other location. I like that Warm Yoga is offered at the West Chester location.

I absolutely love the child watch and the Y Zone so I have time to work out and I know my kids are happy.

I attend the Gentle Yoga class (twice a week if I can) with Karen as instructor. I love this class and feel that the flow of poses is keeping me reasonably flexible.

Flexible. Child care. Swim lessons. Great staff. Love the locker rooms and showers. Facility staff is so nice.

I go to UMLY 95+% of the time, but at times it is convenient to go to the West Chester Y.

There's so much you can do at the Y. Love the free programs, child watch, and Even paid programs aren't too expensive. Staff at all three branches we visit (both west Chester's and lion ville) are always really nice.

Everyone is caring and friendly. The swimming program is excellent for my boys. Thanks.

Sunday classes with Linda are my favorite. The combination of Step Aerobics followed by strength basics give me a great total body work out that kicks off my week. Linda’s method of teaching and style of exercise makes even a total beginner for comfortable and has made a huge difference in my physical fitness

Convenience of location, the work out facility and the pool for my family

There are things to keep the whole family occupied - weight room for adults, Y-zone for the kids, pool for the whole family (although with all the private & group lessons it is increasingly difficult to enjoy the indoor pool because member use is restricted while lessons take place).

The steam room

I like being able to go to various locations and I like the fact that there are a lot of classes and that many of them start before 6 am.

Everything! The staff is friendly and helpful, facility clean and comfortable, instructors too notch!!

Can pop in at all times of day or nite....selection of group exercies prog is great!

I like the bountiful opportunities for staying fit and healthy, the great instructors, the friendly staff - and the members!
