Member Testimonials

Everything.

I like how friendly the people are. You are welcomed at the front desk by smiling people.....Christine at 5:00 am and George mid-morning to name a few. Nick, the operations supervisors and Alde, the woman who takes care of the lorckerrooms are always willing to go the extra mile for all the members. Now for the classes. There are a wide variety of classes that everyone can choose from or you can workout on your own. i personally like the master's swim program. That is what originally brought me to the Y under the guidance of Maureen Reuther. She runs a nice program that guides the older swimmer without the pressures of youth swimming.
The Y is also good at keeping people informed about what is open and closed. I find that good in this social media age.

My YMCA membership has gotten me to exercise on a regular basis and enjoy it, which I never thought would happen. I had a good personal trainer which helped tremendously in getting me not to miss a training session and then to work on the plans that were outlined for me to follow. ALL the Y staff (those who check you in, those who are in the exercise area to answer questions, the custodians, etc.) are friendly, pleasant and welcoming. I also like being in a place that is well maintained and clean. Through my Y membership I have met up with old friends and met many new ones. I leave my exercise sessions with a hot cup of coffee which has been prepared feeling blessed to be a member of the YMCA. I am thankful for all those who work to make my YMCA membership a wonderful experience.

Classes and environment!
Wonderful friendly staff!

Great choice of classes, instructors and personnel. Always clean!

I love the flexibility that I can start and hold my membership for when I am in town and not in town. It makes my life so much easier to know that I have the Y to come back to at any time !!
I love the classes, so many zumba's and yoga's and just being able to run/walk around the track is fantastic to get out of the cold, heat or rain anytime of year !! The staff is great, so customer oriented !!! The parking is easy !! I wish there were more tai chi classes, but I understand you have a younger membership and its more an older persons gig. And I'm thankful for the one tai chi class you have !! Thanks for asking !!

I go to the YMCA on Airport Road almost every day. My normal routine is to use the machines on the second floor and walk 16 laps around the track. Sometimes i do Pilates classes.

The Livestrong Program

I like how friendly the staff are and also the other members. I like the variety of classes and the pool in the summer. My favorite class is the 5:15am Body Pump class on Tuesday and Thursday. I have made several friends in class, and the instructor, Bonnie, is very nice and helpful and supportive. She really helps everyone to achieve their fitness goals!

Access to lots of programs and facilities, plus the friendly and helpful staff.

Great classes! Awesome instructors. Parents Night Out! A great sense of community.

We moved back to the area specifically because of the strong, supportive community at the West Chester YMCA on Airport Road. From the friendly front-desk staff to the phenomenal group exercise instructors, this location is truly unique. We are very thankful to our Y family for inspiring us to be better in everything we do!

Friendly, professional service.

I like that the Airport Road location is close enough that I can also go to classes there as well as UMLY, that is my main location.

I just like the freedom to come and go as I please, or more, when I can. I love the classes and all of the instructors, and feel at home even though I am about 30 years older than any of the others in the classes. I like the people, the place and feeling accomplished when a workout is completed. I enjoy the chatting with others as we dress in the lockeroom, or prepare for a class. I meet up with people I don’t see often. Life is very busy, and this is just a good spot to regroup or energize for the rest of the day. Then again, sometimes I run in at the end of a long day, have a nice workout and return home feeling good.

It’s nice to see young families, to share life. The employees are sweet and helpful. Just a nice atmosphere , and I often think if my life were not so busy, and I wasn’t on the run so much, I would hang out there more. I can see that it can fulfill a lot of needs of the older people in ways that can make life joyful. Actually, there is a lot to love about the Y. Thank you.

It give me the tool to stay away from the doctors. Not to mention I made friends and every time I'm going to the Y I'm treated like a family.

Staff are friendly and helpful! Facility is immaculate!!!

I like the variety of group classes offered at the very early morning hours
