Member Testimonials

There are so many! What I particularly like is the eGym. I find the regular workout machines a little difficult to set up correctly; the eGym takes care of that for me.

I love the small group classes and how friendly everyone is in the group!

Warm friendly environment with knowledgeable, supportive and motivating instructors.

Senior offerings very well done.

Equipment all in working order, staff very friendly, plenty of room throughout the facility, coffee setup very nice

I just went through the LiveStrong program that the Y supports. It gave me a chance to meet other cancer survivors and to learn ways to improve my health with a variety of options offered by the Y. As always, the Y staff was great, supportive and encouraging, I especially appreciated Kelly, Synthia and Phyllis who led the program. They are a great team.

Exercise classes

Great selection of classes.

Aqua exercises
Egym
Seeing friends

I usually use the Westchester YMCA for e-gym. I like the egen because I can come in and get a good workout without having to do a lot of the adjustments to machines. I think it's a great program. And usually I can start in a couple minutes. Not too long of a wait. It would be nice to see the egym expanded to other YMCA gyms as the lionville YMCA is much closer to my house. I think it's they do a great job of educating everyone on how to use it.

I like the swimming pool specially. It is 10 lines big pool with high ceiling and bright light.

I love egym, Just wish there was something for abducter and adducter, but, still love egym

Pools!

Classes

The representative who helped me was knowledgeable, patient and kind. She explained the website and genuinely seemed like she cared. I apologize I don't have her name but she was fantastic. Kudos to the Y for building such a fine culture.

I enjoy the lap pool most of all. It is nice to always have a lane available.

Very friendly and helpful instructors and especially welcoming to new participants.
Wide range of classes and times to choose from.
As someone new to the Y, it’s been a very positive experience.

great selection of exercise options and locations

I enjoy the weight room fitness center.

I like EGYM very much. You just have to show up. It keeps track of everything.

Lots of good options, great facilities and knowledgeable staff members.

Varied for the whole family.

People are extremely friendly and helpful. Clean, bright and a modern facility.

I see a personal trainer, Kristi Kromko who has helped me get back to a healthier lifestyle and kept me accountable for working out.

Taking a Tai Chi class today (my first) and look forward to it.

Really like the array of activities the Y offers.

I love the flexible hours and variety of classes

Everyone works with you wherever you are in your getting healthy journey!

I’m a new member and quite impressed. All the staff and instructors I’ve met are very helpful, informative, professional, and friendly. I tried and enjoyed a few group classes, then I met Keith in member services and he introduced me to Barry in the Egym. The Egym is a great tool and I’ll use it regularly to help me safely get fit after a long time without consistently exercising.

Thanks to AARP/United Healthcare and the YMCA of Greater Brandywine for making membership available via my Medicare supplemental insurance.

I love the group exercise instructors whose classes I attend!!

Toni Hamilton in Body Pump is just right: she knows about safe, proper form, has a lovely demeanor and guides us through a great workout.

Sri Ramankur's yoga class is great as well. She is knowledgeable and pleasant, creating a challenging, yet fulfilling workout

The "Y" is a local GEM that I have not explored before. I went to other gyms in the past but not the "Y". I was pleasantly surprised by the number of classes, training programs, helpful staff members, and wonderful instructors, etc.

Love the lap pool and the pickleball. However, having to register two days in advance for pickleball is difficult to remember, especially when you are a senior. The front desk staff are very kind and helpful. I love the West Chester branch.

Great variety of group classes.
Just onboarded with E-Gym and enjoying that.
