Member Testimonials
The classes
The variety and various time choices of group exercise classes.
I get a good workout and I enjoy the people
Ability to use multiple branches when I travel in the county
The West Chester YMCA has a great workout atmosphere. There’s a nice layout of workout equipment and ample machines to choose from. The classes are fun and scheduled at convenient times. My husband and I primarily went to the gym super early in the morning or late in the evening to workout. We rarely had any problems waiting to use a piece of equipment. There was also a sense of community and the staff were always friendly and polite. I would recommend this gym to anyone.
I like the free classes
Access to pools, steam room, classes, free child care while I work out (or relax) and Parents Night out. Friendly staff.
Even though my 'home' Y is Kennett, I love that I can go to other Y's because they usually have more available lap lanes, e.g. the WC Y. Swimming laps is the primary reason I have a Y membership.
Lots of different group exercise classes offered; have something different at the 5-6pm slot everyday which allows me to try everything and not get bored. Nice locker rooms. Fun activities like the sleigh with stickers. A lot of variety with the treadmills and ellipticals as well.
I love the state of the art equipment and facilities. I love the Zumba classes! But most of all I love the welcoming atmosphere and the care and kindness shown by the staff and instructors.
Receptionist in West Chester YMCA facility are very friendly, Gary is really friendly and provided necessary information. Also that facility children day care is good with indoor slide and play area.

Group classes
What do I like about my membership? Where do I begin. Everything that the YMCA has to offer from the classes offered, to childcare, parents night out, teen nights in at the Y. The classes and the instructors are the best and there are a ton of options offered. My kids join me at the YMCA to excercise. Sometimes we have enjoyed classes together like Spin and Body Pump. (They opted out of Zumba after watching me ....not sure why they were embarrassed? I was having a blast!) I love what the YMCA stands for and I appreciate what you do for our community and how you get all of the members involved. It makes me feel so good to help out any way I am able; from brininging in food to donate to local food banks, helping with the a donation to send a child to camp, donating blood at blood drives and volunteering when needed. As a young child, the YMCA allowed my siblings (and my mom) and I to take ballet, tap, and jazz; activities that our family could not afford otherwise. We are now in our 40's and 50's and we still remember and recite our dance songs and remember our dance moves. Thank you!
