Member Testimonials

I appreciate that the gym is clean and the staff is welcoming and lovely.

I wish the overhead lights were different because they are not great for health reasons.

Lots of programs for all levels!

The Y has a wide variety of group exercise classes at different times, which I think is great. There are also many activities for families, which is great!

Also, this year I worked privately with a trainer, and I had a terrific experience.

Very happy with this class! Sebastian is a great instructor and my daughter is working on her endurance, which is something I couldn't do with her at the pool in the summer. She really enjoys going to the class and I plan to continue with the class for the winter as well.
A+ for Sebastian, he is our favorite instructor for both of my kids!
The program is very organized and Mitch is always available for questions. I also appreciate the well-trained and professional lifeguards. This is probably the ONLY pool I'd feel safe running to the bathroom and not watching them the entire time for safety.

variety , quality, personable and helpful staff, quality of equipment, and programs

I only use the pool and a couple of machines. I wish that you had more than one Nu-Step.

very pleasant experience to sign up and answered all my questions.

I mainly come for the exercise and socialization of Pickleball. The W Chester Y is very accommodating, friendly and organized. It is a pleasure to play there, not like UMLY.

Friendly, clean, well run. I also enjoy the coffee as a reward for my workout.

Everyone is consistently pleasant and welcoming. Great variety of classes.

Today was my first visit and I worked with Lauri on the EGymand absolutely loved it. She was very thorough and encouraging and made me feel comfortable on the equipment, which is not how I felt at another gym where I was on my own. I also walked the track for a little bit afterwards.

The people that run them. Everyone the works there is awesome!!

I like the egym system. That makes it "fun" to work out and I don't have to count my reps.
I appreciate the friendliness of the front desk staff.
Michael was exceptionally friendly during the Open House this past Saturday. Have ice cream as a treat was a wonderful bonus.

The adaptive swim program has been a game changer for us. We tried standard swim lessons and my autistic daughter left crying and frustrated. Karen has been fantastic in building First name removed’s confidence and holding her accountable to what she is capable of. We are so appreciative of her!

I would love to see the West Chester YMCA invest in more swim instructors being trained in Angelfish to support our special needs kiddos. The need is so great and the program here at the YMCA has been wonderful for our family. Losing out on the ability for an adaptive lesson would be a massive loss to our daughter.

Finally I appreciate that the lesson pricing is reasonable and able to be accommodated for families managing special needs. There are so many demands on our families and knowing we can work the skill of swimming in is a weight lifted off our shoulders as parents.

Great instructors, reasonable price

easy access
