There was a time when it was closed due to some roof repairs, so I went to the West Chester Y (also great and 10 lap lanes!!) But at the Lionville Y the staff is very friendly, It is 2 miles from me and now I also play Mahjongg with a very nice group of women. There is a very busy pickleball court and I may try that at some point. The weight room is huge, with lots of machines and helpful trainers. There are art classes and a knitting group. Day care and lots of youth activities. It's free for some seniors, (including me) depending on your insurance. I can't imagine why anyone would pay big bucks to go to another gym.

Initially the heat might feel intense (believe me, I fainted my first day because I went dehydrated). But with time, it only gets better! The instructors are all really nice and so are the people who go there. Everyone is super friendly so don't be scared to go try it. Especially because for your first introduction week, it costs $20 for a whole week of any sessions you feel like attending. Thus, I definitely recommend everyone to try it! It will be a nice experience, just for fun.

It is apparent they put a lot of time and energy into each class offered so the members get the best workout. I've taken all of the class formats offered and enjoy each one. I'm not the most coordinated dancer, but I've never felt like anyone is paying attention to my missteps or embarrassed about my dancing. As long as I keep moving and keep my heart rate up, I'm getting a workout!! I made the choice to get healthy by changing my diet and adding Vibe Vault Fit into my life about 3 years ago. Kristine, Bhavna and the Vibe Guides have supported and cheered me on every step of the way. Whether you are just starting your fitness journey or a long time athlete this studio will give you a great workout in any class!!

I love this place.

They have a great variety of classes: Zumba, Bombay Jam, Beat HIIT, PiYo, Yoga, Barre classic, Barre Pump, and 305. Some of these classes are hard to find anywhere else or aren't offered in gyms nearby. I've taken all of these except Yoga and I really enjoy them all. It's a great variety of cardio and strength training. The instructors are fantastic. Each one is friendly and welcoming. They make a point of asking if anyone is new and they show modifications. What I also appreciate is that there are all body types and fitness levels, so it's not intimidating.

It is clear the author of this message is unknown to you, and that the seriousness of these…read moreconcerns is still not being met. I have contacted both owners of this establishment, yet no meaningful action has followed. Audrey continues to enter the facility despite prior incidents that should have prevented her return. The general manager--not the owners--appears to exercise full control over operations, making decisions as though no oversight exists. Consider this question: What becomes of policy when an owner orders former employees removed, yet management quietly places them back on the payroll? Such actions make plain who truly governs this place. There is also a matter that warrants public awareness. The former assistant general manager--who was asked to resign or be terminated--continues to frequent the facility. During his tenure, concerns were raised regarding inappropriate conduct involving minors, including reports of accessing the membership information of sixteen-year-old members and contacting them through social media. Regardless of how such concerns were handled at the time, they should give any parent pause. Prudence and vigilance are advised when young girls are present in an environment where such matters remain unresolved. And finally: Where do employees go when they are needed most? Not to the desk nor the floor, but to the break room--where duties are abandoned amid drifting smoke. More will be shared until real accountability is taken. Respectfully, Percival Drake P.S. One final note for those paying attention: should a sudden surge of five-star reviews appear, consider the timing and the names -- Jenna Jackman, Sofia Khalifa, Karyn Michael's, Shriya Katupilla. Several have no prior review history, and one is an employee of the establishment. All appeared only after our initial disclosure. The pattern speaks for itself.

The owner, Cathy Moran, is not interested in your child. She has been known to yell at young children and especially overheard yelling during Nutcracker rehearsals. She is not someone who can be trusted behind closed doors with your child. She will berate their character and destroy their spirit. She is not interested in your dancer's progression in any form of dance. This has been proven time and time again. The big money maker for this studio is Nutcracker and recital. Pay attention to costume fees. You'll be charged for more costumes than you receive and they've been known to reuse old costumes. Meanwhile dancing the same dances from years past. No originality and not worth your time or money.

I found Crossfit Proven about 4 years ago because a friend encouraged me to try it. She was in…read moregreat shape, and she said this was the place that made it happen. I was reminded to leave my ego at the door and take each day as an opportunity to accomplish something new. Crossfit Proven coached me through physical and emotional challenges as I struggled and succeeded. I took a break from Crossfit for personal reasons for almost 2 years, but was welcomed back at Crossfit Proven with open arms and an encouraging community of people. The 'personality' of Crossfit Proven is great. Once again, I was grateful for a place that could greet me with enthusiasm 'right where I was' in my return to the sport. I am able to participate without apologizing for all I can't do. Instead, I am cheered on for what I can do. It is an environment that allows me to focus on success and safety. I attribute this success not only to the 'personality' at Crossfit Proven, but also to the programming and the coaching. Everyday is something new, something challenging. I am working at an appropriate level every minute that I am there - from the warmup to the time I leave. The coaches take time to remind me of little adjustments to my form that will create a safer and more effective workout. They are encouraging and inspiring and patient, even when repeating a simple queue that I should already know. They don't waste time. They move things along, while still paying careful attention to finer aspects of form and technique. I appreciate that. I really love the shoulder saver 'clinics', the chance to extend a workout with the Proven Athlete program, and the variation & extra opportunities for those who have competition driven aspirations. The facility has plenty of quality equipment and space, so it's possible to have a great workout in the midst of lots of people because it's outfitted so well. The schedule is robust, with many different times to attend a session. I don't have to plan everything around a scheduled session at Crossfit Proven, because it is always easy to find a session that fits into my day. I've seen this 'box' grow over the years, and I see the value in working with an established Crossfit Affiliate like Proven. They've been through the startup phase, they've learned what works and what doesn't. They provide what really matters - great personality, strong coaching, proven experience, outstanding facility, quality & vast equipment & a robust schedule. The owners are present and involved in the operations at Crossfit Proven and it shows. This is their thing, and they are good at it. They are 'all in' and that matters. I'm not a competitive Crossfitter, and I don't want to be. I simply want to be challenged and meet my goals without getting injured. There is a place for me at Crossfit Proven, alongside some of the best Crossfit athletes in the area. And for that, I am thankful.

I was intimidated by CrossFit in the beginning and the coaches and other members offer great support and modifications as I learn my way around the gym. They stayed respectful of everyone's time (ie started and ended on schedule) and explained things well. They really took the time to help you learn the different movements and encouraged you to push yourself further when you were ready. The coaching is the best thing about Proven, and with Matt leading the charge that's no surprise. You'd be hard pressed to find a better coach or trainer than him, and he programs great balanced workouts. I've moved out of the area but I miss Proven everyday!! Highly recommend!
