Variety of programs and time of offering.

All events are very well planned for good health .

aqua classes: deep and arthritis

I like the variety of options. There is something all the time you can do. I cant imagine someone who wants to exercise not being able to find something to do.
The gym is monitored by individuals who can help you with the equipment and expectations. We are lucky to have the E Gym which is perfect for me. Y friends who go elsewhere are very jealous..

clean environment, friendly staff and comfortable pickleball/basketball courts.

We have been going to the Y camp for years now. We just love everything about it. From the staff to the fun activities

I like how each week had a theme especially for the kids that were there most of the summer. All the staff were super friendly. My son had a great time!

Really enjoyed the JV sports them week because it exposes the kids to various sports throughout the week. I also like that the kids go swimming every day.

The staff is amazing. The facility is beautiful, clean, and welcoming. There's a lobby to relax and read, books to read to my small child while my other one is in a class, coffee all morning, multiple pools. Frankly, it's the cheapest country club I've ever been a member of!

I truly enjoy everything about the programming. From the second day, every morning drop-off felt personal—my daughter and I were greeted by name, and the counselors on carpool duty knew each car, each make and model, and every camper associated with them. Even with that familiarity, they still followed the full check in process to ensure campers were properly dropped off, which made me feel secure and same for pick up.

The staff was always pleasant, even with long lines, taking the time to greet us and have a brief conversation. That level of care made the experience feel very personal. My daughter has been attending camps for about four years and has tried four different camps this summer alone, but this has truly been one of the best experiences we’ve had.

I especially appreciate the balance in the schedule: campers enjoy free play in the mornings—whether it’s water games, relaxing, or reading poolside—followed by structured programming in the afternoon. This model works beautifully, helping kids transition into a calmer wind-down period by pickup.

I am highly pleased with YMCA West Chester branch and the thoughtful way they run their program.

It is a beautiful outdoor pool facility and surrounding lawn/play area. I took my 4 year old grandson (his family has their own membership). We enjoyed the day immensely. Plentiful chairs for our use. Ample shade areas for relaxing when we were not in the pool.

Friendly - organized well - great place to work out.

I goto the upper mainline Y and this is a great back up place when Upper mainline Y is closed

Friendly atmosphere with knowledgeable instructors.

The group exercise classes

Helps me stay in shape

I use the e-gym 3 days a week and I have noticed things some people are doing
which should not be acceptable. I think the the Y should post some proper procedures to
be followed in that are to keep thongs running smoother.

# 1. Too many people are skipping to machines and not putting two machine space
from the person they go around and that is extremely annoying.
# 2. I've seen people just go any empty machine they see ignoring the fact they usually
interrupt the whole flow of machine rhythmic flow of timed movement from machine.
#3 I see people not wiping down the machine they are leaving but wiping the machine
they are going to next. a little backward I would say. I have also seen people taking to
long wiping down machines making it harder to log in to start before the exercise time
starts.

Friendly knowledgeable staff always there to assist !

I use the fitness center at Oscar Lasko several times a week. I like that equipment has been upgraded on a regular schedule. The facility is always clean and the staff friendly.

I enjoy the exercise equipment; but mostly I enjoy being part of the Y community.
