West Chester Area YMCA

"The West Chester YMCA is fabulous! The facility is huge and very well maintained. The class instructors are knowledgeable, helpful and caring. I attend the aqua classes both in the shallow pool with Leslie S. as well as in the deep water pool with Kevin C. They are amazing instructors in every way! My husband enjoys exercising in the E-gym. The cost of membership is negligible compared to all they offer. And one more endearing fact: the staff cares very much about helping the community by having such things as food drives and raising money to provide exercise services for those that are unable ordinarily afford going there."

"Well designed and equipped YMCA, with people of all shapes and sizes and colors getting more fit. 10 lane pool cool enough for good lap swimming, and another pool for those wanting warm water. The staff seems awesome!"

"This is a very nice facility within the YMCA of Greater Brandywine network. Two things I love about this specific branch. Almost all the lockers are those that you enter a code to use so no need to bring your own lock. And there's plenty of different sized ones throughout the facility. I also love the eGym equipment. It was easy to set up getting a band and start using it. Takes the guesswork out of using the machines."

"Their youth membership is extremely confusing in terms of whether and how many family members can enter the facility with the child, even for just watching. This policy is nowhere to be found online and it appears that different employees have different opinions on this. My wife and I always go here together to watch my kid’s soccer class, for all his 6-8 sessions in the last two months. But today some front desk employee just randomly made up policies to not let me in and asked me to pay an additional $15 for a day/guest pass. Yes, the day pass and guest pass are different thing from their perspective. And they tried to educate me how they are different. While I am typing this, the same lady turned down another guest in the same situation for “not having ID”. Funny, she never even asked for my ID. Why’s that, did I look rich and stupid for that $15 additional pass? YMCA, you sure can have whatever policy you want to. But, please be consistent and train your employees."

"While my children were not a part of this summer camp, friends I have spoken to had nothing but great things to say! I can recall that they specifically mentioned the camp counselor Sid by name and said he was exceptional in working with their children and made sure they had a great time! Definitely going to be recommending the YMCA to more of my friends!"
