Member Testimonials

I can go to the Y a few blocks away or take less than a 10 min drive to get to another Y with multiple pools and extended hours. Staff is always friendly and helpful

cleanliness of facility.
program selection

I have met such great people at the y. The y gives me an outlet to be healthy, fit, and work on me while my kids are having fun at the child watch area. My friends at the y hold me accountable and keep me going!

Overall a good experience - used WC YMCA when UMLY adult locker room was unavailable. Locker room at WC was relatively clean and orderly. Free weight room at WC well laid out.

I love the friendly members. And all of the group exercise instructors I have met have been wonderful and encouraging.

The YMCA offers so much! It is open all the time, easy to park, the people are nice. What's not to like?

I like the flexibility and the classes.

A couple suggestions:

1, Could a walking trail be created around the perimeter of the property so we wouldn't have to walk to track all the time. I am aware there are parks nearby, it would be convenient to walk before or after taking a class.

2. Any chance the pools chlorine system would be changed over to a salt system.

Thank you.

We love the track, the work out machines, the staff. I LOVE that you are taking Silver Sneakers, since I had that option through my job.

clean facility

Great instructors and clean environment

Convenient.

I like the Body Pump classes. I'd love more 4:30 offerings

our "crossfit" group is awesome.

The Y is a wonderful atmosphere! Friendly staff and great exercise classes!

equipment and personnel

I hear my Mother saying, "if I don't get out of this chair, I'll never walk." That's my motive for coming to the Y, first two days a week, then three, now five. I love the classes, quick steps, not only footwork but work for the brain, and I love the personal trainers available for instruction on the many muscle and flexibility and cardio machines. Thank you Y, I'm moving out of the chair every morning. And when I'm at the Y I meet many interesting people, including enjoyment I get out of watching the little ones at play.

My husband and I enjoy our participation at the Y

The classes and instructors

It’s a great value! Everyone who works at the Y is so nice.

Daily life stability, camaraderie, access to variety of fitness activities anywhere in the USA, affordable, cultural diversity and inclusion, consistent cleanliness, hours of operation, the individual and genuine care, expertise and kindness of staff - esp. Kevin Cole and Karen Celfo

The staff is friendly and invested in helping me achieve my fitness goals.

Great environment, and great staff.

I love that I can go to my home base YMCA for most of my needs, but that I can also visit other area YMCAs in the GBW group at times if there are classes offered there that interest me or suit my schedule better than the other location. I like that Warm Yoga is offered at the West Chester location.

I absolutely love the child watch and the Y Zone so I have time to work out and I know my kids are happy.

I attend the Gentle Yoga class (twice a week if I can) with Karen as instructor. I love this class and feel that the flow of poses is keeping me reasonably flexible.

Flexible. Child care. Swim lessons. Great staff. Love the locker rooms and showers. Facility staff is so nice.

I go to UMLY 95+% of the time, but at times it is convenient to go to the West Chester Y.

There's so much you can do at the Y. Love the free programs, child watch, and Even paid programs aren't too expensive. Staff at all three branches we visit (both west Chester's and lion ville) are always really nice.

Everyone is caring and friendly. The swimming program is excellent for my boys. Thanks.

Sunday classes with Linda are my favorite. The combination of Step Aerobics followed by strength basics give me a great total body work out that kicks off my week. Linda’s method of teaching and style of exercise makes even a total beginner for comfortable and has made a huge difference in my physical fitness
