I joined BlkOps in December of 2017. Prior to joining, I was a member of the Y for years. More…read moreoften than not, I paid for the Y without actually going, and when I did actually make it there, it was only to use the treadmill--literally only the treadmill--because I was scared and intimidated and it was the only piece of equipment I knew how to use. I immediately felt at home at BlkOps. The owners, Antonio and Kelly, and their team of coaches all supported me and helped me to grow. In my 2+ years there, I have learned SO much about lifting weights, conditioning, eating nutritionally, and feeling confident in myself. Now, when I am away from home, I feel confident in writing myself a challenging and effective workout and in marching directly into a hotel gym to execute it. And I don't even touch the treadmill. On top of all that I have learned at BlkOps, I have gained some incredible friendships. Each member of the gym inspires me daily and helps make the gym feel like a home away from home. Because of these people and because of the challenging workouts that we persevere through together, going to the gym is now my favorite part of the day. I've gone from basically donating my money to the Y to working out on an almost daily basis. Oh, and also, I look a lot better now than when I first joined. If you're looking to build on your existing fitness knowledge (whether you are a complete novice like I was or whether you already have a lot of experience), if you want to be challenged daily, if you want to join an incredible community, and if you want to look and feel dramatically better, BlkOps is the gym for you!

A best friend of mine joined BlkOps not too long ago and had nothing but great things to say about…read morethe owner, Antonio, the gym itself, and most importantly the sense of community and challenging workouts. Having recently worked out there myself, I can say I easily agree. The Owner, Antonio, was immediately welcoming. While the space is not incredibly big, you can quickly see that every nook and cranny has been thoughtfully and strategically utilized. The equipment is fresh and clean and the classes are never over crowded. Those that I worked out with were equally welcoming and encouraging up until the workout was through. I highly recommend BlkOps if you are new to the area or looking for a gym to surround yourself with great people and great workouts.

Many of my friends are members here and face similar problems, but the Siegel JCC is still the most convenient option for them and don't have the same freedom that I have to switch gyms. The courts are often not open when the schedule says they are. Many times I have gotten kicked out of the gym several minutes before the next group is supposed to be scheduled. I have gotten hit by pickleball members with their paddles when walking across the court to the free side. The weightlifting area is often crowded, and I have been confronted multiple times while waiting in between sets that I have been "taking too long." I am very disappointed in the service I have gotten over my past few months' membership here.

One of the true appreciations I enjoy when I visit Wilmington Delaware a couple times a year is the Brandywine YMCA gym. As they just completely remodeled this Y, it is better then any gym I've seen anywhere ... Even ones way more expensive (i.e., Equinox)! Beyond just this remodel and major addition, which is absolutely amazing, the service and personality of this gym is what keeps me coming back to it each time we're in town from California visiting family and friends. The staff who work at the Brandywine Y create a wonderful sense of community, which this spirit carries forward to the members of this Y

MEMBERS FILMING THEMSELVES HAS GOTTEN OUT OF HANDS!…read more I'm writing this because I'm really concerned about some issues I've been having at the YMCA related to aggressive behavior and people filming on their cell phones. On September 13th, I had a horrible experience with another gym member. I was walking to the turf area to do walking lunges when I accidentally walked past a member's phone that was on the floor, he was filming his set and had his phone angled towards the walkway. I didn't see the phone on the floor near the squat racks, and I didn't realize I was in the way. After reaching the turf, I noticed another member filming there, so I walked back towards the smith machine. As I walked past the squat racks again, the guy recording, who looked to be in his early twenties, turned around and confronted me aggressively. He said, "Are you happy now?" Confused, I replied, "Excuse me?" He then repeated, "Are you happy now?" and continued, "I know you did it on purpose for attention!" He was pointing to his phone, and his tone was very intimidating. All I could manage to say at that moment was, "I'm sorry, I didn't see it." He then grabbed his phone and stormed off. Thinking he was gone, I decided to finish my last exercise. However, about five minutes later, I saw him back at the squat rack, glaring at me in the mirror, which made me feel unsafe. I decided to leave the gym floor rather than risk further issues. I considered going to the front desk but chose not to because I had a similar issue months ago, and the staff didn't address it properly. This is the second time in a year that I've felt unsafe due to aggressive behavior from members filming their workouts. I joined the YMCA because I believed it would be a welcoming place for all ages and fitness levels. While I'm comfortable working out in a male-dominated space, these filming incidents have been problematic.The gym is not a filming studio, I'm just trying to work out, all I did was walk by. The YMCA needs to address this issue. Considering that my previous complaint was ignored, I'm posting this review to warn potential members and will also be reaching out to corporate as well. The YMCA is supposed to be a family environment, and it's important for the gym to be a safe and respectful place for everyone.
