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.

Really great community at the Y. It’s a much better experience than other gyms I have been to. There are tons of programs for adults and kids. Everyone in my family loves it and the people there are so nice. Thank you!

Coffee in the mornings, Bagels (Thanks Craig)

Friendly people.

Like the cafe.

Like a few special occasions that they have. Holiday singing in the cafe area at Christmas time.

Showers are always clean (Thanks Vince).

Question on the day is great. They greet you as you walk in.

Like all the staff in the upstairs gym (Dona and Tony are great)

Diversity of clientele - I see young, middle aged, and senior people, diversity of race and sex, and clients who have disabilities, Down’s syndrome, etc.

The people working the front desk are friendly. The play area for kids is well maintained, nicely sized, and staffed by great people. The rest area with wifi near the front door is great for adults. The gym area is perfect for almost all of my workout plans. The locker room is more than adequate. I love the swimming area for the kids.

Signing up online is extremely easy and canceling is also.
All of the staff is so very helpful and friendly.

Warm pool and family locker rooms are perfect for my preschool granddaughter and me!

Aqua Fit

Plenty of lap lanes

Child care is great! The teachers are kind and supportive, the hours are convenient, and the location is great! There are endless activity options for my child, and the ability to change activities monthly is helpful for a preschooler.

I use the workout area weights & machines and can usually get my workout done in a reasonable amount of time.
Our kids like the pools, both indoor and outdoor.
Activities my daughters have tried have been inconsistent in quality.

A variety of programs for all different levels

Nice location, friendly and helpful stuff, well maintained, good spirit!

Great aquarium exercise staff ,fun & really good
