Staff overall is great. Very helpful ! Although there is one that sits at the front you can’t tell if it’s a female or male. He/she is very nasty and unprofessional. She argues back and not very pleasant at all. Even down to answering questions everything seems like a problem to He/she….

Thanks! Your review is awaiting moderation.

Maggie Razzi | Oct 3, 2018

Health Partners Seniors with Silver Sneakers I have medicare and financial need, i have been awarded a nice% of in house financial aid...o obviously Medicare doesn't participate in silver sneakers and to utilize the service is far worth keeping your insurance company that are participating in the silver sneakers program I however have all my health care at the ultimate University of PENN Hospital. I am so happy there, the monthly fee for this fabulous program certainly outweighs not having the opportunity to work with your Y! I am in Port Richmond and the West Philly Y is my Home Plate 😎I love University City and The Y in West Philly.... Download the app and check out everything the Y offer's... Even golden standard CHILD CARE! HEY ! And for a straight $5 There's the best Halal platter... Clean food truck on the planet.... Live and Work Hard it's worth it 🤗
