I primarily use the Upper Main Line Y to swim at the outdoor 50m pool. Prior to Covid things were always very smooth and I was so impressed with how they handled the challenges of being open during this pandemic. There is super clear signage about masks and distancing posted everywhere, the staff ar...

Front desk staff is so rude. They just want to remember that Rules are made by Human They are not stone carvings which cannot be changed.

Swim team is a disaster.... they cannot win with their own fellow YMCA teams. Please teach kids properly that s why we getting paid.

In addition to benefiting directly from the Y's great programs - in particular, the swim team and musical theater productions - my family appreciates the diversity and inclusiveness of the Y's membership. It is great to be associated with an organization that not only provides opportunities for phys...

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...

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 they're enjoying all the social aspects of being there as well. I also love the fact that I can ...

In 2 words: Feral Maze.

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.

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 C...

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 The facility is out of date.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 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 o...

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 ...

We are lucky to live where we live and to have access to the UMLY. It's an incredible resource for the entire community. I was in a panic when I realized school would be starting virtual. My husband and I both work and we simply were not going to be able to do the remote learning with our first grad...

Edit 9/4/18- there is still garbage that looks like its left over from Camp U.M.L.Y. Also the 3 weeks following my original review the garbage problem did not change, it even got worse the week after. (I have pictures time stamped from that weekend). Only now that Camp U.M.L.Y is over for the summe...

My family feels quite safe at UMLY with the new safety protocols in place for COVID. The online sign-up system for the 50 Meter Pool is fantastic- would be great to see it used for the indoor pools when the 50 Meter Pool closes for the year. The fitness center is clean & safe, and it is nice to see ...

The Upper Main Line YMCA offers 2 hours worth of child watch so I don't have to rush my workout, a brand new family pool, multiple outdoor pools for summer time, and a variety of group exercise classes to choose from! We have had a great experience here.

My wife and I always have a great experience at our Y. The UMLY. My wife is working with a personal trainer at the Y. We are new to the exercise experience even though we are 50. Having access to a personal trainer is important to us. We need to learn the basics and benefits of exercising and a pe...

Why the hell with all the "we have 55 acres!"brag, Can't they have an ADULTS ONLY POOL????! Outside lap pool is overcrowded with Olympic wannabe swimmers and there's barely any space between the lap pool and where the screaming kids pool is. MAKE AN ADULTS ONLY OUTSIDE SWIMMING ARENA. Waste of mon...

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.

I love the camp programs. My son has just spent his third summer at the UMLY camp. He has learned swimming in the Kinderkamp. And playing tennis in the Tiny Tennis camp. UMLY feels like home to him. He will also attend the Eco-Camp, when the school is out coming fall. We also love the outdoor pools....

She began a little fearful of swimming, and left camp knowing how to swim all strokes. Her confidence in her ability to swim and her love for the water was truly a gift! The activ...

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 can't be beat. And my kids love the summer c...

The reservation system for the outdoor pool and the ability to just walk outside and check in was so well done! Your staff is doing a gr...

The pools are likewise well maintained, well staffed with lifeguards, and always clean. This is a great place ...
