Member Testimonials

My son has fun at camp! He’s been going for the past three years. The camp counselors are really nice and attentive to our needs. My son had an injury over the summer and they were happy to help and accommodate his needs! He’s made some really nice friends at camp too!

I like the variety of classes and instructors are always welcoming

Variety of exercise classes wellness programs for seniors.

The wide assortment of both type and time. So far, every staff I've met has been helpful.

I love my arthritis aqua class.

Great outdoor pool for the kids! And excellent selection of group exercise classes. I'm happy that I can go to any of the Greater Brandywine Y 's for classes or facilities.

Have something for everyone....almost would like to see an expansion of services offered for people with Parkinson's, which is on the rise. There is a program called "Rock Solid" which is offered in Dayton, Ohio - we need one here in Chester County!

I love the egym. I’ve told so many people about it already. My family that lives in reading would love to join the Y and do the egym but there aren’t any branches nearby with the egym. It’s so clean. The equipment is top of the line. The patrons of the gym are so respectful. I look forward to attending the Y

Gym and pool

So many things to do and so many nice people doing it!😊

I love the Egym

The classes offered and the instructors.

Very nice instructors

I like variety of offerings.

I can only comment about main gym and pool

Everything in the gym, and lockerrooms are super clean. Nice machines, enough to go around.

Negatives:
I HATE loud cell phone talkers having personal conversations while on treadmill. Ridiculous that others have to hear half-hour long loud personal conversations while the talkers have their air-pods in and have NO CLUE or respect for others while they loud talk to their friends ad nauseum.
Its one thing to have you phone for PRIVATE USE for music/videos/texting etc.
Totally different and DISRESPECTFUL to others in a public space to subject us all to your conversations. So annoying.

Outdoor pool: Very dissappointing that there was no adult swim and/or more that ONE LANE for laps. And that lane was constantly being jumped into and occupied by non-lap swimming kids. I joined the Y specifically for pool. Took one "lap" in the West Chester outdoor pool and dodged 3 kids jumping in practically right in front of me. Got out and left.
Indoor pools are fantastic.

The pool is wonderful for kids

Great variety, something for everyone.
