I like your programs but I feel like your exercise programs start too early everything starts at 5 AM there's nothing starting at 6 or 6:30 AM or even 7 that way you can exercise and then go to work
I like the hours, the clean pool, all the useable equipment and indoor track. I also like the lockers with clean restrooms and showers.
The sheer number and variety of them
I love that you have a sauna and steam room
The hours and availability of machines.
I love how clean the gym is. They staff really keeps the facilities tidy at all times.
The Tellepsen Y pool uses quite a bit of chemicals in their water. Maybe a lesser amount would do the trick if pool users would be forced to take showers before entering the water.
Luckily the Y at 34th street has an outdoor pool that doesn’t have nearly as overwhelming amount of chemical smells.

My wife and I like the Les Mills body attack classes. My wife attends the HIIT classes. I love how nice everybody is especially Mr. John at the front desk who knows our name by memory. Every one is so nice I haven’t met anyone who wasn’t helpful. I love this gym. My friend is a director of the Delaware YMCA and I always brag about the Tellepsen location. Please don’t change for the worse only improve so don’t fire anybody there lol.
I love the YMCA. Great facilities, friendly atmosphere, excellent classes.
Best value for money.
Pleased with all that I do at the Y. I have ONE MAJOR COMPLAINT. I have monthly Personal Trainer lessons... and the mandatory "must finish all sessions in given month" is VERY DIFFICULT TO COMPLY WITH. Plus, the tracking software is very confusing. I recommend returning authority to the trainers to track the client and complete the paid-for sessions. The confusion is costly ....in wasted time and in good will.
Thank you. Happy to elaborate. Ruth Ann Skaff

Like ckasses & instructors.
The Christmas program on Sat the 11th was awesome! It was so great to come work out and see Santa and have activities and crafts for the kids. They loved it - it made them more willing to go to child watch, which makes it easier for us to go work out more often. Tellepsen is always clean and well-maintained, with friendly staff.
all the amenities

I just use the pool to swim laps.

Everything is GREAT.
Love, love the warm water therapy pool and the trainer - Yvonne - who works in the pool with my husband. Also love John at the front desk who always greets us by name. And the life-guards are great as well!

Great equipment options, friendly and helpful staff, easy parking, convenient location and parking.
I'd like to have an on-site massage therapist there. Maybe two days a week. That would be a great resource.
