Member Testimonials

Good selection of classes. Talented and friendly instructors and staff. Convenient location. Family focused.

I just exercise and do not participate in programs or activities. I am recommending based on the friendly employees, the building and grounds is always clean and orderly and there is an abundance of exercise equipment.

Coach Barry and the swimming program at WCAY has done a wonderful job of navigating the pandemic and kept these kids focused and chasing their dreams.

I love the rec pool temperature. I only wish there were more hours for lap swimming....I realize there is a 10 lane lap pool but I find the temperature of that pool too cold. However, the staff, in particular , Nick, is outstanding.

Going to classes at the Y has kept me sane during the pandemic.I work from home now, and many days I wouldn't interact in person with another soul if not for the Y. Knowing that smiling instructors and friendly fellow exercisers are waiting gets me out of the house and exercising.

The place is clean. The people are friendly. I just wish I knew when you were making last minutes changes in the schedule which made certain facilities unavailable.

Variety of programs and classes, personnel are professional, knowledgeable and personable. Timing of classes and events correlate with most members' schedules. Cleanliness and equipment is excellent.

Since I recently joined the Y on 1/30/22 i am very happy with the Y and all it has to offer.
I like The West Chester facility & it meets all my needs.
I like the weight area - I lift weights on my own 3 days a week and I found a corner weight area that is perfect for me; use the elipticle 2-3 days a week and found two group yoga classes and a Zumba class that fit into my schedule. The members are nice,
Front desk personnel are very pleasant and the trainers have been helpful when I have approached them with a question.
I am sorry it took me so long to switch from L A Fitness to the Y with all of their modern conveniences, program and activity offerings.

The availability of personal swim lessons for my son as well as the knowledge and great attitude of the instructor. Additionally, the communication was excellent with the coordinator.

Diversified and geared to young and old alike

I like that you offer a variety of programs for people of all ages.

The quality of the instruction, variety of programs and the combination of in person and virtual options.

the variety of classes offered and that everyone is welcome- no matter the skill level!

The availability of programs

Tremendous variety , although I only use the rec pool - the outdoor pool facility looks wonderful . Looking forward to sharing with my granddaughter when and if she visits WC

Pickleball has been the primary draw over the last two years. But the pools and the exercise equipment are available and well maintained.

I luv the group exercise classes that are available at all different times of day and 7/ week. And best part is that it’s family friendly!! I get to spend time with my children while getting a workout!

I enjoy the yoga classes.

The instructors

My wife and I have been members of this Y for many years. I have played pickleball, done spinning classes and used the open weight floor. All the staff and people I meet are friendly and helpful. I have been impressed with the quality of the instructors and the variety of programs.

The staff is friendly, the classes are fun and are great workouts and the facility is clean.

Spin

Facilities are well maintained and the staff are very welcoming and professional.

The variety

I have not been going to the Y very long, but I love the atmosphere and cleanliness of facilities, the friendliness of staff, and others at the facilities. This weekend, I used another branch location to swim and the experience was seamless.

The number of classes offered as well as the caliber and enthusiasm of the class leaders and staff make the WCY a friendly, welcoming place to be a part of.
The upper management goes the extra mile to keep programs current and accomodating for all the Y members.

My kids have really thrived with swim lessons so I’m very happy about that. My son has had Patrick for two sessions now and he is a wonderful teacher.

I do wish the registration website wasn’t quite so clunky and that the dates for next session registration weren’t a secret.

There are so many reasons I like the YMCA. I like the number of options for my children: swim lessons, gymnastics, basketball, etc. The childcare is wonderful so I can workout while my kids play with their friends. Most importantly, the staff is extremely helpful. Whenever I call or email with a question, someone gets right back to me with an answer. The people really make the Y a special place!
