About
Family-friendly gymnasium with classes and pools, as well as regular pickleball games.
The Lionville Community YMCA typically features multiple pools. The Lap Pool, primarily used for fitness and competitive swimming, is generally maintained at a cooler temperature, often around 79-81°F (26-27°C). A separate Warm Water Pool, ideal for therapy, lessons, and recreational use, is usually kept warmer, typically around 88-90°F (31-32°C).
What are people saying (AI review summary)? Reviews for the YMCA are mixed, highlighting both significant areas for improvement and strong positive experiences. A group of approximately 40 regular badminton players at the Lionville YMCA's open gym expressed strong dissatisfaction, citing ongoing issues such as basketball hoops not being automatically raised, a specific hoop being broken for four months rendering a court unusable despite repeated repair requests, lack of window screens to block morning sun, and poor gym cleanliness. These concerns have led some members to cancel their memberships. Additionally, a swim curriculum concern was raised, where consecutive sessions for children restart from basics instead of building on previous progress, leading to a perceived waste of time and financial investment. On a positive note, new members praised the wide range of gym equipment, friendly and helpful staff, and anticipation for aqua fitness classes and ongoing activities. Other reviews highlighted the effectiveness of classes with motivating instructors and varied workouts, and the Lionville Y's summer camp received positive feedback for its fun and engaging counselors and secure pickup/drop-off system.

I regularly play badminton at the Lionville YMCA’s open gym, a shared space used for basketball, pickleball, badminton, and other events. During designated badminton hours, we consistently have to ask the front desk to raise the basketball hoops to clear the playing area. Since these time slots are pre-scheduled, this setup should be automatic—not a recurring request. More concerning is that one of the basketball hoops has been broken since April & cannot be raised, rendering one of our courts unusable. Our community includes roughly 40 regular players who previously rotated across four courts. For the past 4 months, we’ve repeatedly requested repairs, but no action has been taken. Some members have even canceled their YMCA memberships, as badminton is their primary reason for joining. We’ve also asked for window screens to block the intense morning sunlight during summer, which affects visibility and gameplay. Again, no progress. Even during the recent “enhancement week,” no improvements were made. The open gym hasn’t been properly cleaned either. At this point, it feels like our concerns are being overlooked. We’re a dedicated group who value this space not only for sport, but for the sense of community it fosters. We’re simply asking for basic maintenance and thoughtful consideration.

My husband and I just joined. We love the wide range of gym equipment, the friendliness and helpfulness of staff, and can't wait to attend aqua fitness classes as well as participate in some of the activities they offer on an ongoing basis.

The classes are great. I love that the instructors are motivating and that I can follow along without coming up with my own workout. The classes keep my workouts varied, which is important for developing strength, but also helps me from getting bored.

I am writing to express my concern regarding the swim curriculum structure at the YMCA. My daughter was enrolled in a session from March to April 2025, during which she made noticeable progress and developed some foundational swimming skills. Based on that experience, I enrolled her again for the next session starting in May 2025, expecting continued advancement. However, I was surprised to see the instruction beginning again from the basics, rather than building upon what was previously taught. I understand this is not the instructor's fault, as she is adhering to the YMCA’s set curriculum. That said, I find the current structure and policy do not support continuous skill development between sessions. Unfortunately, this approach seems to result in a loss of both time and financial investment for families. I hope you will consider reviewing the program’s continuity and progression model to better support returning students.

My daughter is loving summer camp at the Lionville Y! The counselors are fun and engaging and they have a great pickup/drop off system in place for security.
