Lansdowne YMCA — Attraction in Upper Darby

I think the gym is OK could be a little bigger but it's fine for what it is however I don't like the staff particularly the older ladies that stare and watch your every move like your doing something wrong. Also i have an electric scooter that costs $1500 that i bring in to the lobby when I work out it's small and doest get in thr way of anything and I never had a problem brining it in until recently I went in for a workout early in the morning and a rude older lady behind the front desk, presumably the manager, started yelling at me as soon as I walked in the door telling me that it couldn't be in there, Because it's a fire hazard, that's just ridiculous. Your phone is a fire hazard with that logic Then because that has a battery too. I bring it in everywhere I go because I can't risk somebody stealing it. Especially in that neighborhood I bring it into my job and leave it overnight while I'm working. I bring it into Walmart and walk around with it. I bring it into fast food places. And like I said, I brought it into the y before and nobody has ever said anything besides her, because she thinks she's on a power trip and I couldn't even try to reason with her. She was just automatically rude and told me to leave it outside. Okay, I'll leave it outside, but are you gonna pay for it? If somebody steals it, I highly doubt its an official rule with you guys that it has to be left outside, because the guys at the desk never told me that before, and I know they would have if it was an official rule. So I have no problems with you. Guys, I think the gym is great. That's really the only thing I use. I can't speak on the pool or anything else, but I would like if you can give your staff, particularly the older staff, some training on modern adequacy and bring them up-to-date on new technology. Then explained to them that an electric scooter is not going to randomly explode. Maybe they see that on the news once and think it's just gonna automatically happen. It's not like I was charging it or anything. I've had it for over a year And obviously it's never exploded. They just don't know what they're talking about. And they're too set in their ways. I would like if you can have a talk with them. And explain the rules that way. I can bring my scooter inside the lobby when I'm working out, only for 30 minute workouts by the way not long, So that way, I can work out in peace, knowing that my scooter is safe. And that way, we're all...

I’m giving it 3 stars because of the customer service I continue to receive from a front desk manager. But out of all locations, this YMCA is VERY VERY VERY outdated and could use some rehabbing and updating. I’m sure it hasn’t been updated since the early 2000’s. The locker rooms only have one bathroom stall with multiple changing rooms and lockers. The ratio of lockers and changing stalls to bathrooms does not add up. This location also has a sauna in the locker room BUT IT HAS NOT BEEN FUNCTIONING SINCE 2023! The mens locker room is closed due to a leak from the roof. The Cardio/weight room is extremely close together in regards to the machines. The weight machines are also very outdated. I do like the different levels this location has but some changes should happen. As much as the membership is per month it should be up to date. I’m looking forward to trying other locations. At this point I’m here because my kids enjoy swimming and it’s close to home. I hope this location receives a nice grant or donation to remodel this location. It has so...

I hesitate giving this place for stars. Want to give it five. But, if I’m honest, some of the machines need to be updated or refurbished.

I’ve never used the pool. I should give that caveat as well.

The wellness area has pretty much anything I want to use or need to use for my workouts. I think that this place is fantastic. It’s never overcrowded, it’s never full of bros. Anyone I’ve ever encountered here, no matter the age or background, has been kind and considerate. I’ve been going regularly for the last three months or so and I’m starting to learn peoples names who work there. Everyone seems to really care about the work that they do, and it makes such a great experience. I’m happy that this is within walking distance of my house, just a little over a mile, but it only takes me five minutes to get there if I want to take my lunch as a mental...
