About
Clean, family-focused gym with a child care center, a hot-water pool and a track.
The Kennett Area YMCA features a Warm Water Pool maintained at 90 degrees Fahrenheit, and a Competition Pool typically kept between 80-82 degrees Fahrenheit.
What are people saying (AI review summary)? The reviews offer a mixed perspective of the YMCA. A significant concern raised by one member is the frequent closure of facilities due to holidays, organizational events, and extensive renovations, leading to an inability to use paid services (like workout equipment) and a feeling of being 'ripped off,' particularly when refund requests go unanswered. Conversely, numerous positive reviews highlight the YMCA's strengths. The summer camp program is highly praised for providing excellent outdoor, unplugged experiences with attentive and engaged staff, offering a variety of activities that children adore. Adult members frequently commend the wide array of classes available at various times, catering to all ages and fitness levels. Instructors, exemplified by Kim in step classes, receive high praise for their enthusiasm, motivation, knowledge, and kindness, contributing to members achieving health benefits like improved cardiovascular health. The class facilities are also appreciated for being well-designed and conducive to exercise, fostering a strong sense of community among members.

Been a member for a while, but I finally pulled a plug. I’ve been paying over $100 for group membership. I’ve noticed that they close their facility quite often. Every month there’s something. Either some holiday related or some organization related. This month they have closed their facility for practically the whole month due to some renovation. I asked if I can get a refund, but not a single response. I basically paid for the whole month and wasn’t even able to work out. They kept telling me the facility is open and they have classes etc. but what good is the facility being open if my main usage there is using their workout gears? That’s the reason I go there? I should’ve have cancelled the membership long time ago, but I’m giving this facility 1 star because this whole month I feel like I got ripped off. I paid for the services that I did not get.

Kids had a great experience at YMCA camp. Outdoors all day, unplugged, staff are attentive and engaged with the kids, not just there to supervise. Variety of activities and themes weekly. My daughter was sad to have it end- hugging her favorite counselors and new friends on the last day and actually cried when it was over.

I adore the step classes, especially with Kim on Mondays!!! She is a wonderful person through and through and her energy and kindness reflects throughout her class!!! The exercise room is fabulous, and is conducive to our desire to put our complete energy and mind into follow the steps created by a top notch professional, Kim! I will come to every class, and I know that the aerobic exercise in Step class has been an answer to my health!!! My Doctor praises the positive cardiovascular effect it has had on my health, in lowering BP, and in keeping mind and body in good shape! I also appreciate so highly the Kennett area YMCA's attention to providing an excellent studio in which to have class. No need for excessive noise, and great room and area for athletic dance! (btw love the ballet bars!! as a former professional dancer, I truly appreciate the opportunity to stretch out! :D) Many thanks to your programs with a special thank you to Kim!
