Member Testimonials

Always an amazing experience!

There is always a pool available for adult lap swimming.

My daughter attends the daycare associated with the Y and has the ability to take classes at the Y while she is in daycare which is wonderful. I also work from home and I have now been able to build a new "office" of friendly faces while taking exercise classes every day. All of the instructors are wonderful and it forces me to get out of the house everyday.

It is convenient. I like the staff. It is s great part of the community

It gives our family the opportunity to di recreational activities at a reasonable cost. The Y feels like home!

The Child Watch program makes it much easier for my husband and I to reach our fitness goals, and with two under two, we are so thankful for Parents' Night Out. And our toddler loves her swimming lessons!

Family friendly, good staff, enjoyable atmosphere

Jonathon and the staff at UMLY were terrific. Our were completely committed to the success off the program. We really enjoyed our Fall soccer league. As the coach for team Real Madrid, I wish we had more players, but that's out of our control!

Keep up the great work!!!!!

The UMLY YMCA and Greater Brandywine Association have worked very hard over the last years to enhance and improve the infrastructure at UMLY. The recent air improvements to the B Pool are amazing and the rebuilt A pool serves a wider range of members than we previously possible. The Swim Team Coaches are working hard to include and focus on all swimmers of all abilities. I notice these efforts and am very appreciative and impressed! Thanks for all you do!!!!

Friendly atmosphere
Great environment to workout and to play

Everything.

Group fitness classes (e.g. Les Mills) + programs for children (e.g. swimming, tennis and dance)

I enjoy my UMLY community, through the people who greet me (Bill), the tennis community (Steve, Don and the Tennis Pros: KK, Billy, Wendy, Kyle and Julia) and the friends I have made who are like my extended family! Playing tennis is just the benefit!

Friendly people, good staff, nice for the kids

Preschool soccer has been great. The coaches have been fantastic. The kids are having fun and learning the game. Big improvement from last year.

clean. variety of classes. proximity to home

Halloween Party.

Hours are flexible and facilities are nice, but some of the classes are too crowded.

I consider the hours of operation to be a great value

The group exercise team at UMLY is great. Tina does a fantastic job and all of the instructors are awesome. A special shout out to Kimberly and Jennifer - Thanks!

Everything—Especially Ryan and Bella!!!!

Swimming lessons for my kids big shout out to Vince and Susannah
Tennis facilities and the number of people i have found to play with plus the friendliness of the club
Monthly cost I feel is a reasonable cost

The 50 meter pool and the flexibility to do seasonal membership.

The facilities are user friendly - particularly now, with the 50 meter pool being open in this very mile weather.

Great facilities...clean and well managed. I am a lap swimmer and love the pools and really enjoy swimming in the 50meter pool and on colder days hopping into the wonderful jacuzzi! I had submitted a previous survey response that I was concerned that the pool had so many leaves on the bottom and the depth markers on the sides were quite dirty and greasy. I think it is hard to keep the leaves out with the lovely trees, but it seems like an awful lot are gathering on the bottom. The depth markers I think could be cleaned more regularly. I used to be a lifeguard and maintain pools.

I am a former member from years ago and have been visiting the area since June. I live in Florida, but considering moving back and I would definitely be wanting to remain a member of the Y and possibly consider applying for a job since I just retired from teaching!!

Thank you for all that it takes to keep such a big facility running so nicely.

Group classes

Please Please Please change your website. Its not user friendly; It is impossible to sign up for classes; it has no functionality for searching and the details for each class are often incorrect.

I physically go to the front desk every time based on my negative experiences in the past.
