I am currently enjoying my time in the pool with the grandchildren! On a personal note, I am not as involved as I should be, which isn't good. That wasn't the plan!

The variety of classes is excellent!

Variety of workouts to include swimming, running, elliptical....

Front end staff is excellent. Outdoor pool is awesome in summer.

Love the pool! and the hours for members to swim laps.

Love Sid, the maintenance guy. Always pleasant. Always working hard.

It’s fun

Steam room, lap lanes in the pool, staff friendliness.

I love the variety of classes offered as well as the times. The instructors are enthusiastic and knowledgeable, give clear instructions and emphasis safety and proper form.

The staff is so nice, the classes are great and most of all the Y is a great family friendly place we all enjoy!

Great facilities, clean and friendly.

Great facility to spend quality time with my family.

I love that the Y has many locations. The West Chester Y has an excellent schedule of classes and while my main Y is Kennett Square (closest location), I go to WC Y each week for several classes. The instructors are all exceptionally nice, facility is clean, and best of all most classes stay in designated rooms. It is so nice not to have to share facility with other Y members when you are taking a class. This is a big plus over the Kennett Y where many of the group classes are in the gym and it is quite annoying to have to hear basketballs continuously throughout workout or kids yelling and having fun (which is what they should be doing), plus you never get to work on your form at Kennett if you are in certain classes because many of these classes are in the basketball gyms which don't have mirrors. I know this is due to the size of facility so I accept it but if the other West Chester were closer, I'd be going to West Chester.

Flexible options for excercise. Friendly, helpful staff. Clean. Very accessible to me.

I have a general comment about the Zumba classes.

I think it would be best if the instructors took the average age of participants into account when they select which songs to put on that class's playlist. Many do a great job with this; others not so much.

If the average age is 50, all that electronic dance music -- with no discernible melody and words you can't even understand despite the same few are repeated endlessly -- make it torture, not fun. Thump, thump, thump. urrrrgh.

Just my opinion. But I do see the overall energy level dip way down when those types of songs begin to play.

What I like most about my membership to the YMCA of the Great Brandywine Area is that I am a member of a network, all committed to providing me with the exercise facilities that I need in a spread out world. What I mean is, that I need a home base, and then I need satellites. The West Chester YMCA is one of my go to satellite locations, and I've benefited greatly from being able to use there facility.
