This location has staff that are sarcastic and rude. Me and a friend went to use the dance room and were watched like children for an hour just for the staff to tell us it couldn’t be used. They spoke amongst themselves rudely “I don’t know how they even snuck in there” and gave us rude stares on the way out! It was so annoying. Then when they said you had to be supervised to be in the room we had NO issue with that, but all of a sudden nobody was available to do so. We were scowled the whole time we were there. I would never recommend this place to anyone because they don’t know professionalism and communication. They watched us go in the dance room and didn’t say a word, then scowled is the whole time. That’s childish and immature . Our time was wasted

Wonderful atmosphere and something for everyone. 2 classes are available all different times and all different kinds of classes. It's clean it's safe and I wouldn't want to be anywhere else in Brandywine YMCA

My son has been having a blast at Y camp this summer and they have done a great job with COVID safety protocols. We will be returning in years to come!

The Y has become part of my morning, every day. Post full time career, the Y gave me a new set of "water cooler" friends. Not the same as working, but I've lost of bit of weight.

For ten years this branch has been a wonderful community focused wellness center for me and my son. It’s diversity and evolution are it’s greatest strengths. Whether it was providing us awesome child care, classes, sports instruction, summer camp or it’s A class fitness center access, it’s always been part of what I consider home. Welcoming to all...even those who need monetary help. I love this place. 😊

My child has Autism. Found out through the Aquatics Assistant Director, that they have an Aquatics class that is partnered with Autism Delaware. What a blessing this has been. Plus, the basics class was already maxed, but she insisted that we get him started anyway. So, she had us register for the strokes class.... And his one-on-one instructor would teach him the basics. My husband and I couldn't be happier and more grateful. We also joined the Y as a family so my son would continue swimming. Plus, since joining, we're looking into some classes. The Y has so much to offer. My husband is into cycling and I've always wanted to try Zumba. And there's a drop off area for my son to go play in while we do a class or work out. We couldn't be happier.

I love the variety of classes at the Y and how the program adapts to the new trends while still keeping the oldie but goodies alive like step. The attitude of the staff across the board is friendly, accommodating, and inclusive. It's a very positive place doing good things for the community.
