Reviews of Nir Family YMCA (Gym)

Mike Donahue

Stopped in here for a quick shower after camping at the beach. Staff (didn't get names) went out of their way to welcome and accommodate us. Facilities were very clean and we left happy. Thanks guys for the hospitality.

(Translated by Google) Took my daughter and grandchildren to swim lessons to swim for life program is excellent. I found it interesting to teach them details of survival was only a week and free. I am very grateful for what they learned. (Original) Lleve a mi hija y nietos a clases de natación al programa swim for life es excelente. Me pareció interesante que les enseñaran detalles de supervivencia solo fue una semana y gratis. Me siento muy agradecida por lo que aprendieron.

Stopped by to see the newly renovated YMCA and ask about membership.

Danielle Peyton

Nice and clean with good equipment

Nilufer Aydin

Leading edge new Y facility. The demand is higher than the expension. Most upbeat and/or meditative group classes guided by the amazing teachers. To get a good spot go little early.

Elyse Farber

Love the YMCA.. great facility. Great people

James Magee

Friendly welcoming staff. Facility is well maintained. Great place to learn & play pickleball.

Ms. Angela Mason

The sauna and steam room are worth it!

Andrew Chambers

Ok so to be clear: this place burned down. As of March 2018 there is just a lap pool and spa with temporary locker rooms portables installed. I wish this had been more clear. If you want to exercise, you have to drive up the street about 6 minutes.

Brad Hobbs

General manager is a joke just now. Told by Brandon to stop by check out club. Got there and was shut down from the unqualified GM.

A Nixon

My son with special needs was neglected at this camp. Spoke with camp director about my concerns and nothing was solved. Would not recommend this camp for small children or children with special needs.

Michael Derr

Great place they just started construction on the building so parking is messed up right now lots of activities for the kids and community events

Ross Pitman

The new YMCA is really nice. Just be careful with what time you go. 5-7 PM is like a overgrown juice bar for men who think they are hulk. Literally a bunch if people standing around waiting in line to simply use a machine to work out. Mornings and later in the night are great times to go however. Cool place and has a pool, sauna, steam room, and a hot tub.

Chelsea Billings

Just wish there was more parking. I really appreciate the childcare provided free for members. My toddler is going through a major seperation anxiety phase and the staff handles it really well. Love the pool and splash pad. Every class I've tried has been top notch. Overall this facility is amazing.

Lisa Morgan McLeod

The fire of two years ago has not been repaired. Split into 3 locations, portable shower rooms at the one pool. Hope it gets better

LaMaine Williams

Nice gym.

Luke Novak

Pool is great but the locker room is gross.

Steven FitzGerald

Great YMCA! Just rebuilt.

Nathan Lowe

Great place to spend the day with the family. They offer swimming, racquetball, basketballs and all your exercising needs. There's a great steam room, sauna and hot tub available as well. Only a $10 guest fee to visit and pretty inexpensive membership for long term residents. They offer plenty of free and paid class which include things like yoga and spin.

Erin Lyons

Clean, so many options for fitness, great staff

orphan arrows

Nice and fancy but no free towels... they will sell you one for 5 dollars... yeah ok. No vent on the chlorine bomb of a hot tub

Liz Vasquez

I love to go to swim are really good swimming pool there and one jacuzzi with really hot water perfect after a stressful day.. if you not are member you can pay $10 usd the day...

Oliver Dante

Newly renovated and looks really good. The staff are personable and helpful! It's very clean and has a variety of classes from exercise, yoga, dance and more!

LYNETTE HONE

Staff is great! Friendly and welcoming.

Rickie Broadfoot

Just there for youth soccer games. Very impressed with area and staff.

Dustin Cody

Like most gyms in Wilmington, they get packed majority of the day. I have always enjoyed the Y due to its multiple choices in one facility. The one area that looks like they only put it there because they had to was the weight room. The machines are stacked on top of each other making it hard to workout when busy. Also as the area is about as large as two living rooms and it gets packed feeling when 10 people are in there.

NICE PLACE TO WORKOUT

LOVE the preschool program! Ms Cheryl is so patient, and you can tell she enjoys the kids. My granddaughter is learning a lot, and looks forward to going.

I made my first visit to the new YMCA. It unfortunately has some of the old issues from the last YMCA on Kerr and Market. I have taken away 2 stars for 2 major issues at this YMCA. First, this is a first class facility and as such should have first class amenities. A YMCA this large should have towel service. With 3 people working the front desk no reason to not have them working a laundry and folding in between other duties. Second - An issue that has come from the old Wilmington YMCA is male patrons entering the sauna and steam rooms with full PT gear on. This has already created a stench in these rooms. And its hard to get rid of. The only thing these rooms should smell of is the added methanol smell some YMCAs use or nothing at all. Second - patrons should be dousing themselves in the shower before entering. If you want to sweat more in your PT gear get more exercise. Don’t use steam room and sauna for this. Lastly - dropping of weights on the 2nd floor. This drives me insane. The YMCA needs big signs for DO NOT DROP THE WEIGHTS. PLEASE. Lastly the staff is very friendly and the gym has a lot of potential but needs work and or new management to nip this problems in the butt. I would also add the hours for Sunday are a bit archaic - I get that this is a church going community, I love that, I embrace that, but many want to get their days started early in the morning on Sundays and that means being able to work out early - an 8am opening would be fantastic, 10am would be fine, but 1pm is a bit outdated. The gym, raquetball and other areas look top notch, it also looks like the areas for child care are nice as well. I hope this YMCA can thrive and address some of the minor issues and take their wellness center up to a 5 star experience. UPDATE: On Sunday August 18, 2019 I was at the NIR YMCA and as I came in inquired about the closing time. I was told they were open until 7pm. I stopped my workout at 6:45PM and left myself time to shower and get out of the YMCA. At 6:50PM - Alan - YMCA staff comes into the showers saying they're closed. I knew damn well it wasn't 7:00PM yet. I finish up and myself and a few other men were in the locker at 6:55PM and Alan proceeds to go over to the fire alarm in the Mens Locker Room and set it off. It was so loud it was painful to the ears - myself and the other members were furious to say the least as we were not malingering on purpose. I walked outside to find the Wilmington Fire Dept waiting. I told the driver of the fire truck what had happened and that Alan intentionally set off the alarm to drive guests out. I also called Wilmington 911 and explained to them the situation for their records. Personally, if I was the director of this YMCA - I'd fire Alan without question. This is absurd. I realize you close at 7pm and it's routine to allow members to dress at most YMCAs if it takes a few extra minutes. I've never seen this in my 44 years, at any YMCA. The level of unprofessionalism is breathtaking.

So far worst experience ever for customer service. First time client and I had to literally ask several times about everything. There was no tour given, no explanation of how childcare works nothing. I signed up online and came in. I basic stood there for several moments in front of someone. Il change my review if I notice any difference. I felt like I was bothering them when it’s there job to help. Facility is nice. But what’s a nice facility if you don’t know where anything else or anything about it.

Edward Orde
