Member Testimonials

The facility is excellent.

Group exercise classes and Pickleball. Also using eGym

Full-featured gym, sauna, indoor track, and a large heated indoor pool. Hard to imagine anything important that is missing. Not to be under-valued, the staff are super helpful and friendly.

The variety of classes offered

Clair, Devon and all the instructors are great

I really like the classes and the community atmosphere.

The y has a wide variety of exercise equipment suitable for all people of all ages. The classes are great and the instructors are always encouraging. The pool is another y benefit; I like to swim laps. I have recommended the y to several people.

I love the exercise classes in the deep pool

1. 10 swimming lanes.
2. Aquasize in pool other than lap lanes.
3. People at front desk helpful and friendly all the time.

I like the new setup of the workout room, and the earlier hours for childcare

I greatly appreciate the family atmosphere unlike the "factory" atmosphere at other exercise facilities. ALL attendants are extremely helpful.

The programs are fun and the people are great.

Variety, friendly participants

I like the instructors who teach the classes I attend. The programs are varied for many interests.

Good variety

I have been a member of the Y here for 35 years. There are a lot of alternatives in the area. Why have I been a member for so long. The Y stays current with equipment and programs. I feel that I am supporting youth programs with my membership.
This is a community. Group classes, pickleball, kettlebell, competitive swimming and lessons. The West Chester has and is represented within the walls of the Y.
Ours is a dynamic organization that changes with the times.

I just like to work out there. You have what I want and the staff is friendly.

Swim meets were over crowded. Seemed unhealthy and a fire hazard. Snacks in machines appear to be healthy...if you are not concerned about the amount of Sodium in them why won't you have more sweets....like grandmother vanilla filled cookies like you had in the past

I've aleady had a friend join for the first time. I brought her to a pickleball intro. and she was surprised to see they had a pool. I also have had a few friends rejoin. Such friendly staff and people there - love it! Thank you!

Clean facility, with monitored spaces

the people running the activities, and the staff are all very friendly, helpful, and engaged.

varieties of classes and times

I love the group exercise classes, and that there are many offerings. Your instructors are great too, especially Karen Alder, Melinda Danowitz, Liz McLaughlin, and Jen Crowley.

My husband and I love using the West Chester Area YMCA for our fitness needs. He uses the weight room and I attend classes like body pump. I benefit from the structure of the classes and he appreciates that he can lift weights at his own pace. We are so grateful for the child watch! We love that we can leave our kids in a fun and safe environment while we exercise and that the Y offers parents night out for us once a month.

I like the EGYM and the cardio equipment

Fantastic classes and instructors great variety of choices…. facility is super clean, staff is super friendly. Love all the different age groups and inclusivity of the YMCA.

I love the facility. Clean and so many options with equipment, classes, swimming etc.

I wish you offered more 30 minute classes after 4 pm. Many working people don't have time for a 55 minute class on the weekdays. (Grit, Core, Sprint). Love the 45 minute Body Pump

Wish you offered more Yin and pilates classes.

Instructors are great

Broad array of classes with excellent instructors. Just about any time of the day you can find something of interest. Facility is clean, the administrative staff very friendly and helpful!

A wide variety of programs for adults of all ages.

Would like more programs for children, 0 to 6 years of age.
