Variety and availability of machines

Variety of the classes. Would like to see a Zumba gold class during the day.

Chris is wonderful. This is a great activity to do with your child and it is great getting them in the water!

Warm and friendly and most helpful in questions and directions when needed.
I was a member about eight years ago and for me it was just like coming back home again.

Sarah is fantastic! My baby loved this class and we (his parents) had fun too.

We loved our swim instructor! She really helped our son get comfortable with the water. He is learning new things each week!

Great instructors at the Y! Engaging, friendly and fun

small class sizes and very hands on with instructtions

Excellent teachers. Love that there is programming for home schoolers to avoid swim.lesspns on the weekend!

I really like the swim instructor working with my son. He does a great job.

The instructor is the reason we are staying in swimming lessons at the Y. Lindsey knows her stuff and challenges the kids.

Leslie has been wonderful at teaching First name removed. She has progressed tremendously and lives being in the water. It has been a great experience!

I like the instructors & the classes

That they’re inclusive of everyone. That there’s so many different types of activities to choose from.

I appreciate all the activities the y does for my family. I love Leslie S and think she is an amazing instructor for the kids. Jackie C is tremendous as a group ex instructor.

Work ar your own pace
No pressure
Every one is nice and courteous

I truly enjoy the Y and the classes I do on Tuesday and Friday are terrific. I belonged to a more exclusive club, meaning more expensive, before joining the Y and I won’t go back. The atmosphere and staff are excellent at the Y. I’m staying.

Miss Leslie the swim instructor is wonderful!

The instructors are all very knowledgeable and very good teachers! Everyone is very friendly. The YMCA has very many excellent classes and facilities.

Friendly and helpful, especially for someone like me who hasn't exercised in a while? There is always modification to every work-out and I like that it's explained or shown to us if we need it.

The Wedt Chester Y is a great environment. It is clean, programs are diverse, and staff is very knowledgeable and helpful.

The range of options available at the Y are second to none and the staff are always friendly and willing to help with any needs you may have. The spaces made available for the wide variety of classes offered are well suited to the activity and the instructors are very good. It bothers me when I read the suggestion board and people complain about a class being too long, or too short, or not at a convenient time for them, or any other inane complaints because the class or room is not exactly what would fit their needs! The Y does a fantastic job creating an atmosphere that is conducive to training and friendly for all who take advantage of the offerings. Keep up the good work and don't listen to the naysayers who will never be pleased regardless of how many times you tweak something to placate them. You do a great job and you should be proud.

I like almost everything about the West Chester Area Y.

Absolutely love the group exercise classes. The instructors are great. The members are nice. Great atmosphere.

The quality of the facility is top notch, and I like the variety and quality of the programs

I especially appreciate the ability for handicapped people to enjoy physical fitness.

The class instructors are excellent, very qualified and welcoming, including handicapped people who may not be able to do everything the rest of the class can do. My husband has a disability, but nothing stops him from trying new things. His PT Jim is always challenging my husband with new workout ideas. Our chair yoga instructor Barb and aqua teacher Deirdre have been very supportive of my husband, encouraging him to find ways to modify his workout so he can get the most benefit from whatever program he is in.

In fact, everyone we meet at the Y has been very welcoming, helpful and kind.

lots of choices and nice people

The kids enjoy the play area and it eliminates the need for a babysitter.

Love the childcare, variety of gym equipment, availability of equipment, and pool!

I am a class person. I love the Zumba and body combat classes. Kelly on Monday’s and Cynthia are the absolute best! The give me to much confidence and motivation!
