Great facility!

Variety of classes.

Great range of workout equipment. Very clean facility. Very helpful and friendly staff. Cost effective.

I love the group classes and I appreciate the Y's effort to provide pop ups and variety to keep things interesting. I filled out the survey about TRX classes - I had a great experience with TRX at a different gym and hope the Y can make this happen (as well as zumba). The instructors are all wonderful and put in a lot of effort! The facilities are clean, well-maintained, and have great equipment. I also greatly enjoyed the festival in the spring, even as an adult.

I'm not sure I'll be given the opportunity to provide feedback about opportunities for improvement in a following section so I'm including it here:
It would be really helpful if at least one scanner could be kept on its holder at the front desk so patrons can simply scan their card or phone independently of Y staff, who often need to speak to other patrons or are on the computer simultaneously. I totally understand that someone should be checking IDs as they get scanned, but it would really improve the traffic jams that take place, especially as it's extra busy these days with staff needing to hand out pool wrist bands.
Also, if the Y is ever looking to purchase new gym equipment, a vibration plate would be greatly appreciated!

So far…… excellent

There is something for everyone at any age and ability! The trainers are Great! The front desk is warm and friendly and helpful. Its a great gym to belong to! I just love the variety of group exercise classes offered! Something for everyone. Also at all abilities. They have silver sneaker classes for those that want and need these classes. So happy to be able to belong to this great gym!!! 💗

The chester county YMCA system is central to our family. We use the Oscar Lasko Y for afterschool care, gymnastics and youth ninja and esports. We use the airport road Y for summer camp and family pool. We use the UMLY for summer camp and whatever else we can find (we just started going there a couple weeks ago). Plus the indoor playgrounds at each Y and childwatch is ridiculously nice. Lily (YMCA employee) and her mom at Oscar Lasko know our daughters and adore them, and watch them often at childwatch. Lily (my daughter lily) went to her first day of camp this summer at the Airport road Y, and said "that counselor is wearing the shirt I signed last year!!!" Said counselor was so excited to see lily it was ridiculous. My children consider the Y's a second home. Oh, I forgot. Lily's reading teacher uses the Y lounges to tutor her over the summer. The staff is incredibly friendly and inclusive. I can't say enough nice things. The Y facilities are our third places. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

Variety of classes; functional wellness center.

convenient location, variety in the choice of activities, convenient opening hours, friendly instructors, staff always ready to help.

I enjoy the exercise classes. Working with an instructor and a group makes me much more focused on achieving my exercise goals.

Love the new gym & everyone’s efforts to keep it that way. Still would like to see outdoor pickle ball.
Any communication on that status would be appreciated.
Thanks.

Lots of variety

We have Mr Bill as our swim teacher and he is awesome and makes swimming so fun for our boys.

Varity of classes and programs

Great variety. We primarily just use the fitness center, but as I approach retirement, I'm looking forward to trying more of your programs.

I like the work out area. I have yet to do any classes or programs

Excellent instructors for group classes! The pools are numerous with convenient hours. Another activity is book club, which is great for conversation. I very much enjoy the friendliness of instructors and members!

Fitness center and classes. And employees,

The instructors know what they are doing! They're very encouraging, and they are willing to adapt movements to my abilities. I look forward to going to classes every week.

I like the classes and the pools and play tennis at the Y

Variety of options, dedication of instructors.

I always enjoy going to the Y and the woman who called me. I believe it was Lori to re-up. My membership was so personable.

Good Silver Sneakers exercise classes. Barb and Tina are excellent instructors. Lindsey with chair fit is also excellent!

Swimming is the best

I LOVE Aqua fit with Rena.

Love in the in person classes with Barb and Tina. They are just perfect in terms of tempo and intensity and i’ve gotten to know a few ladies who also regularly attend. The classes really help anchor my weekdays. I also love the variety of pools you have. I like to swim laps and can always find a lane.

I enjoy attending some of the fitness classes.

I love the 50 meter pool. Laura and Charles are great lifeguards and outstanding people.

Well designed, very well led by wonderful instructors.
