Always friendly

Clean, bright facility, friendly staff, variety of classes. It’s a great value for the money. One thing on my wish list: open swim in the Dive well.

Very great swimming lessons, teachers are nice, responsible. Glad to go to west Chester branch!

I'm probably at the WC Y 4-5 days a week, mostly for Zumba. The newest instructor is getting better every week, but because of her slow start, her classes are much more sparsely attended. (Some regulars were disappointed/frustrated initially and just don't come.) Don't give up and cancel Thurs evening/Sunday AM Zumba, please.

We really need some sort of fun strength-building/muscle toning class -- like barre or pilates -- on Wednesday evenings. These are much better for us older folks than some of the harder core workout classes.

I hope you're able to find a new Yoga instructor for Sundays.

I like the variety of classes offered and the instructors are all terrific. I do wish West Chester utilized the Barre Room more for Barre classes as none of the other locations have this. The only barre classes offered are in the evening (6:15) or in the early morning (7:30). I love both of these classes but the times don't work well for me. Some later morning Barre classes would be ideal.

The people at the Y are GREAT. I go mostly to workout and stay in shape. the machines are clean and well maintained. The staff are knowledgeable and friendly. going to the Y is an all around wonderful experience!

I absolutely love that you have two large pools and also a lovely play area for children to wade in. It's feels like I hit a gold mine by coming to this branch. Having a ten laps for swimming ensures I can get a workout in without having to be detained. I also appreciate that this branch has an indoor track which is certainly helpful in inclement weather. And the fact that you have an operational steam room gives me a truly luxurious spa experience. The staff are always helpful, friendly and polite! Great large locker rooms as well.

Many different variety of classes.

I only lift at the Y, but have always had a great experience. Staff is friendly and helpful. Gym is always in great shape. Love coming to the gym and will continue to use this location for as long as I can.

I would like to see more lanes available for laps in the early AM

While we utilize a relatively small amount of activities, the choices are varied, fun, and as challenging as we want them to be.

Group ex is the best!
