I love the people! The Kennett Y instructors are exceptional and so are the everyone who work there. Christine and Erin are the two of the best ladies who work at the front desk. They are both always professional, friendly, helpful and happy! Love to walk in and see their happy faces. Thanks to Aaron from facility to keep the place running! Love the KY instructors especially Mike, Mary, Kelly M and Kelly J, Suzi and Lorraine. Can't thank them enough to help me and all the members stay healthy physically and mentally during this unprecedented time. So grateful to all the instructors who worked during the holidays during the recent shut down and teach the classes outdoor. They are truly our Y Superheroes! I am still disappointed with upper management. Where are they, who are they and what do they do? I just hope upper management takes great care of the staff who keep the place running and members happy and safe. Without them, there'll be no members!

I like the swimming pool and lanes. I wish they put online that kids swim meets were happening at the same time as the open swim, so that one could be prepared.

Overall, I am happy with the ease of using the facilities. I am glad I switched to the Y.

I really enjoy the group exercise classes. They are motivating and fun.

Organization, cleanliness, highly professional customer interface. These all through the most challenging of times!

I like that everyone is working hard to keep us safe and healthy. Enforcing mask wearing.

Instructors are friendly and knowledgeable. They make the work out fun. I just wish there were more programs earlier in the evening . Such as 4:00-4:30 classes .

I love swimming laps. Would like to see the 8 lanes extended to 11:30 and 2:30. Thx

I especially enjoy the pool. I come most days between 7:30 and 8:30 for 1 hour of self aquatic exercises,
On Tuesday and Thursday I come for water exercises 6:00 to 7:00 guided by Robin Meixner

The equipment is always clean and the staff is nice.

The Y provides a full range of community-based services.

There is a wide variety of programs geared to different ages to choose from.

Would be helpful if there was a bit more attention and feedback to members not wearing masks correctly.

I love body pump and have been at the Kennett Y for 8 years. Working with great instructors like Mary and Joel. Karen Worked with me when I first started and taught me how to use good form and to not get injured. She was very kind to teach me personally. I have made friends and I worry about them and hope to see when the virus is under control. Thank you to all who work at Kennett Y!

Ample lap swimming availability, good balance of free weights, cardio and strength machines, friendly staff, convenient location, community outreach.

I love the Y. I have been a member since January 2004 starting with my kids, who were babies at the time, taking swimming lessons. My kids and myself have made many friends through the Y.

The classes and instructors are great.

With lockdown beginning in March 2020, I was so grateful and proud of the Y to make the effort to bring back people and classes as soon as possible. In June they offered many outdoor classes. When we could go indoors, their commitment to keeping the members safe and healthy was evident. The members themselves made every effort for health. Wearing face masks, wiping down any equipment they used, maintaining a 6ft distance when re-acquainting themselves with friends they hadn't seen for a while.

I hope more people come back to the Y. They are doing a great job.

Plenty of lanes available for lap swimming.

We enjoy every single day we are there we appreciate how people work closer to the people end is great to see how they keep the place safe for us all

Currently what I like is that you're open. That's huge. And you've kept the facilities sanitized. Again, huge during this pandemic.

Excellent weightlifting machines

Safe. Respectful. Fun. Healthy. Kind people on staff and as members
