Member Testimonials

I like the free classes

Access to pools, steam room, classes, free child care while I work out (or relax) and Parents Night out. Friendly staff.

Even though my 'home' Y is Kennett, I love that I can go to other Y's because they usually have more available lap lanes, e.g. the WC Y. Swimming laps is the primary reason I have a Y membership.

Lots of different group exercise classes offered; have something different at the 5-6pm slot everyday which allows me to try everything and not get bored. Nice locker rooms. Fun activities like the sleigh with stickers. A lot of variety with the treadmills and ellipticals as well.

I love the state of the art equipment and facilities. I love the Zumba classes! But most of all I love the welcoming atmosphere and the care and kindness shown by the staff and instructors.

Receptionist in West Chester YMCA facility are very friendly, Gary is really friendly and provided necessary information. Also that facility children day care is good with indoor slide and play area.

Atmosphere is great. Staff is friendly.
I like the variety of exercise choices.
I always meet someone I know from the area. It's like the town square!

Great family programs - awesome swim teachers!!

Lots of options

I have already recommended YMCA to a friend and she joined!!!

Group classes

What do I like about my membership? Where do I begin. Everything that the YMCA has to offer from the classes offered, to childcare, parents night out, teen nights in at the Y. The classes and the instructors are the best and there are a ton of options offered. My kids join me at the YMCA to excercise. Sometimes we have enjoyed classes together like Spin and Body Pump. (They opted out of Zumba after watching me ....not sure why they were embarrassed? I was having a blast!) I love what the YMCA stands for and I appreciate what you do for our community and how you get all of the members involved. It makes me feel so good to help out any way I am able; from brininging in food to donate to local food banks, helping with the a donation to send a child to camp, donating blood at blood drives and volunteering when needed. As a young child, the YMCA allowed my siblings (and my mom) and I to take ballet, tap, and jazz; activities that our family could not afford otherwise. We are now in our 40's and 50's and we still remember and recite our dance songs and remember our dance moves. Thank you!

Instructor is very good with the kids. Has been effective in teaching them how to swim.

I like the atmosphere

Friendly staff, diverse exercise equipment, clean locker rooms, basketball courts for my son, babysitting for my young kids.

Great staff, lots of options-classes, machines, weights & use of any facility in state. All of that equals a great value and makes it easier for me to stay in shape. Thx!

we are so happy my whole family is going there every day we love to workout every night

Been a member for over 20 years. Our whole family goes there. I have volunteered and coached youth basketball at the Y. Even got
Volunteer of the year award.

The new facility is great and close to home. I probably go there 4 times a week, my kids even more.

Just glad to have an affordable, clean and friendly place to work out.

Service, staffs and the programs

Friendly staff, clean facility, and great classes

Good facilities, very nice people, lots of opportunities for the whole family -- everyone likes going to the Y in our family!

Equipment is usually available right away.

I like the flexibility to use facilities through the YMCAGBW network.

Simple access. Service availability is great, Loved the fact we could seamlessly attend another area Y. One time this year i attended a new Y that I've never been to before (the West Chester Y (one with the racquetball courts)) and they treated me like I was a new Y member even though I've been one for years :) it was really cool to get that experience as i was NEW to just that Y :)

I’m finally using it.
