I have been a member of the UMLY for years, and worked at the Early Learning Center. UMLY has great programs, staff, and is a real asset to the community. I take exercise classes, and use the Wellness Center. The offer of classes, as well as the level of instruction, is phenomenal. The Wellness Center is superb, with knowledgeable trainers instructing members on safe and effective ways to use the many machines. The Youth Wellness Center is also top of the line, with adjustable point of impact equipment. The staff creates personally designed exercise programs for children in a fun, carefree atmosphere. Over the years my kids have taken dance, tennis, basketball, soccer, cheerleading, and worked as summer camp counselors at UMLY. My youngest and I were in a musical together - a great experience. Everyone in my family looks back on their years at UMLY with a sense of pride and nostalgia. In terms of facilities, UMLY has it all: pools, tennis courts, a nature center, fabulous grounds, art/music/dance rooms, an extensive daycare and babysitting program, volunteer programs, overnight camping, special events, and so much more. All in all, the UMLY is a fabulous place for people of all ages and abilities to nurture the body, mind, and spirit.

the kiddie pool is pretty dirty, not well monitored by the one life guard, it is the farthest walk from the parking lot (does that make sense for toddlers?) - no indoor bathrooms, you have to walk up the hill and use the port o pot, last week the hand rail was broken off - very dangerous. Trades off the words "main line" in the name. Poorly managed - VERY hard to get someone to actually answer the phone. Online pricing is often different from the information the people at the desk have for various programs. Swimming lessons arent that great - better to go to Malvern or West Chester for kids swim lessons.

The YMCA is so much more than just a gym or the ugly trailers, it is a community. The staff is fantastic, pleasant and always accommodating. When you consider all the options for a young family, there is nothing that can compete. We consider it our Country Club, so many of our friends are members and we have a great time at the froggy pool with our young ones. I just started playing tennis again and the courts are terrific. My wife and kids take advantage of many classes that are offered throughout the year, from Akido to nature camp. I would recommend this Y to anyone who has a growing family.

This YMCA is the worst among all the YMCAs nearby. The facility is out of date. Most program teachers are not dedicated and/or concentrated to the teaching. The private coach we hired for the swimming lesson was not effective at all. Besides, this YMCA is ridiculously greedy. Starting from 7/1/12, the so-called youth program is actually a tool for them to collect money without providing any services. The youth member will pay the monthly fee but cannot even any facility. The only benefit you get in return is the priority to sign up the classes!

A wonderful community gift. Different from the regular Ys. It is state of the art center. Very helpful staff, who try to make your visit as pleasant as possible. Lots of pools of course a hit with my kids ( their favorite being the indoor year round heated pool) Both my children are on the swim team which could use better coaches. Membership is expensive relatively to the other YMCAs but being a member of this particular Y allow you to use any Y in PA and NJ. We frequently use the other facility when we travel.

Our family loves UMLY. Our membership includes discounts on childcare, kids programs, and camp. We love taking advantage of the monthly Parents Night Out (wish it would go back to Saturday night, though!) The staff is friendly and knowledgeable. We also enjoy the outdoor pool, but I wish theyd update the "Froggy Pool" a bit. Additionally, wed LOVE a splash zone similar to the West Chester Y. Overall, were happy to be part of the Y in our community!!

I live in Havertown where there is a top-of-the-line YMCA now, but my family still goes to UMLY because it has the most expansive aquatics options of any YMCA anywhere. You never have trouble finding a pool to swim laps in. The outdoor pools in the summer cant be beat. And my kids love the summer camp. Plus, the workout room is just as top-of-the-line as Havertown and the babysitting at YMCAs are a huge advantage over regular gyms.

Outstanding staff with great knowledge and a heart to serve. If you are looking for "just a place to work out" you can find that everywhere, this is more of a "home for your family" where you can do as much as you like the programs are geared for your level of desire. From "just having fun" to high level competition its available here.

We pay a relatively small amount yet gain access to SO much. Our boys go to the Y almost every day to play basketball so I feel as though our membership is well worth it. Not only are they exercising but theyre enjoying all the social aspects of being there as well. I also love the fact that I can swim all winter long. :)

I love the clean tennis courts and extremely clean daycare. Over the years of coming to this location I have seen a positive change in the building maintenance. I believe Bugajewski Facility Services has made a great difference in the last year. Keep up the great job.

In 2 words: Feral Maze. Chipping paint, rust, mold and bugs in showers, old circuit equipment, negligible floor exercise area (and dirty), lap lanes are never available. Sadly, the worst YMCA in the area.

No excuses when the Y is 5 minutes from home! Instructors are knowledgeable and motivating. I like the variety of workouts: HIIT, Spin, TRX, personal training and tennis. I definitely get my moneys worth.

Not good at all. Hours and all services. They said they were looking for a new towel providers months ago and stopped it. This is the one just want your money.

I think the staff at UMLY is super! They are not only friendly and courteous, but are genuinely happy to see me every day that I visit!

Nice gym with new rennovations, overpriced though, with adult memberships of around $75/month plus a steep joining fee

An old Mansion with all the latest equipment. Salt water pool, 3 indoor pools, cardiovascular, daycare.
