“As a complete newcomer to CrossFit, I couldn’t have asked for a better place to start than CrossFit Diamond State.
Walking in for the first time, I was honestly nervous—the intensity of CrossFit had always seemed intimidating. But from day one, the experience has been nothing short of amazing. The coaches have played a huge role in that, especially Telicia and Gia, who are both incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and encouraging. They take the time to explain movements thoroughly, emphasize proper form, and always offer modifications that meet me where I am, without making me feel out of place or behind.
Every class feels like a team effort, and people are quick to introduce themselves, cheer each other on, offer fist-bumps and celebrate the small wins. That kind of environment makes a huge difference when you’re starting something new, and it’s been a big part of why I keep coming back.
I leave every workout feeling stronger, more confident, and genuinely excited for the next one. If you're new to CrossFit or just looking for a place with amazing coaching and a real sense of community, CrossFit Diamond State is the place to be.”
“My daughter and I attended this location during some torrential weather. When we walked the roof was leaking and it was water in some of the machines. Henry, the attendant at the time, did an amazing job controlling the situation and keeping us safe. He worked alone at first and then he had some help from a young lady in green athletic wear. Not all heroes wear capes!!!”

“Love love LOVE the staff here. Theo, Dominic I’m sorry the girl that works with them they are alllll amazing! Give em a raise. Now the 2 Spanish workers absolutely need training! They can’t even be bothered to look up from texting to help also sour SOUR attitudes! Horrible!! Do something about them! Other than that I LOVEEEE it here ??”
“I can't tell you very much except that is where my grandsons have been taking swimming lessons for the past several years. They swim like fish! I took one to his lesson and the only problem I had was finding the correct entrance. The instructor was very kind and patient and the kids love it.”
“If you pay for a monthly membership anywhere, you want to feel like you’re actually getting your money’s worth—and the Brandywine YMCA delivers on that and then some! As a family with young kids, finding a place that caters to everyone's needs can be a real challenge, but this facility has been an absolute game-changer for us.
We have been long-time Y members and have visited several different locations over the years, but Brandywine is hands-down the best Y we have ever experienced.
From top to bottom, both the facilities and the staff set a incredibly high standard:
Staff & Community: The staff members are consistently warm, welcoming, and attentive. They make our whole family feel right at home every single time we walk through the doors.
Variety for All Ages: What surprised us most is just how much Brandywine has to offer across every age group. Whether it’s youth programs, family activities, or adult fitness, there is always a huge variety of options to choose from.
The Hidden Gem: You cannot talk about this location without mentioning the Hanby outdoor area. Having access to that beautiful outdoor swimming pool and the massive open green space makes the membership worth it all on its own, especially during the summer months with energetic kids!
If I had to offer one small piece of constructive feedback—and this might sound a bit nitpicky—it’s that occasionally it can take a bit too long to get certain gym machines repaired when they break down. However, that minor inconvenience doesn't take away from how fantastic this location is overall.
We couldn’t be happier with our experience here and highly recommend the Brandywine Y to any family looking for a top-notch facility!”
