Member Testimonials

Several pools available most days. Nice staff. Good communication via email and website about schedule changes, closures, etc.

I know it’s good for me to exercise and I love attending the Silver Sneaker classes. Also like the instructors and I have made new friends

The large selection of programs and activities, seven days a week. The app is very helpful to find classes at the other Greater Brandywine Y's.

Good programs

I am a new Silver Sneakers Member and I am in awe of all the classes and programs available at my local YMCA! Such a nice variety AND at various times of the day!

You are a friendly, welcoming community and it is clear throughout all of your programming and activities. It is a joyful and healthy place to be! So glad to be able to participate in what you have to offer. Thank you!!!!

VARIETY, FRIENDLINESS

The CELC

My daughter has loved both the regular before/after school program at KDM and full day care at the Y. She developed a close relationship with Carolyn the teacher but she recently left and went to another school which she was bummed about. But otherwise loves the crafts and time with friends, and all the fun activities at the Y

We love the childcare. The teachers are great, caring, and attentive. We love the outdoor space and the focus on getting the kids outside (playgrounds, walks, animals, etc). We also like the calendars and curriculum they are putting in place.

Very comprehensive

I love the yoga instructors Jane, Chris and Erin!! Everyone that works there is awesome. Very friendly. I used to go to Body Pump and Tricia is also a very caring and great instructor.

The facility is nice, staff is friendly and classtimes are varied to accommodate any schedule.

Choice and friendliness

Great instructors.

Variety of activities

Great gym

Silver Sneakers keeps me motivated to stay healthy. And I really appreciate the chair yoga which follows it.

Deep water aerobics, yoga

There is a great choice of classes with devoted and great teachers leading them

Pickleball and pilates instructors

The facility is always clean and up to date. The entire staff could not be nicer nor more helpful.

Since 1967 I have been a wheelchair bound, disabled Marine veteran from Vietnam. Due to my disabilities, I often need assistance at the gym, and sometimes at the pools. Always a fellow or sister UMLY employee or patron cheerfully lend me a hand.

Inevitably, I leave UMLY in better shape, morale wise and physically, after a vigorous workout at the Y. I feel fortunate to belong to this great Y.
