I like that Western Family YMCA Camp keeps kids busy, meets them where they are, and provides a positive ethical and social model. My son has attended from a very young age, and at 13 he still gets excited about going to camp. Over the years I have seen an increase in self confidence, empathy, and respect; he has built relationships with fellow campers that will last a lifetime. The counselors are excellent role models, and they authentically care about the kids and their growth. I really can’t say enough about Camp Wassaqui and recommend it to any parent who is looking for summer activities for their children!

Camp Wassaqui is amazing, the staff are always friendly and professional. The programming is phenomenal. Its been such a pleasure to see my daughter engage with kids outside from a year of remote school. The Director Mr. Miller is a natural born leader leader inspiration to watch with staff.

The YMCA summer camp is amazing I would highly recommend! Each staff member brings something unique to the summer camp program. This program is for all ages and keep the kids active indoors and outdoors. They focus on physical activity and also social-emotional activities as well. My kids love the opening and closing ceremonies they also give small awards each week to different campers for various reasons which keeps the kids engaged. My kids are so tired after camp from having fun all day and they’re very happy when they come home with lots of stories to tell in new dance moves they’ve learned from Mr. Dave! There is also an element of family when you get there everyone knows everyone and really cares about the campers. My family loves this camp!

This YMCA is much larger than it looks from the outside. It also has way more parking than you think, but it doesnt excuse the fact that its always crowded and still hard to find a parking spot during busy hours.This location is super convenient because you can literally work out, grocery shop, stop at the drug store all within walking distance of each location. We were there during and after their renovation, and they did a GREAT job. Our one-year-old took swim classes here, and she never wanted to leave the pool. The swim instructor was so great, and I was super impressed because I dont remember my instructor being nearly as fun.The only reason for three stars is because our daughter (then, only 2-years old) was continually scratched by an older child in their daycare location. All children baby through 12-ish were in one room which made me hesitate coming to this location because the giant age gap.Each time I asked what happened to my daughter, the workers never knew what was going on. After the second time, we switched back to the Bear-Glasgow location (much further from home) because the childcare was significantly better, larger, professional, and cleaner.

Old and small compared to most YMCAs of today. In addition, the hours are very limited. Its obvious the target market for this gym location is the 55+ age. However, the gym does have all your basics and the outdoor pool is nice. Then indoor pool is very limited.

The atmosphere is great. People are great. Just a great time exercising.

Very bad experience here. Signed my grandson up

Out door lap pool has a lift for the handicapped. But no stairs. The outdoor childrens pool has stairs.

Better than the gym has everything...

The y is so amazing. I dance there and everybody their is so nice. Since covid-19 they have taken extra precautions to make sure everyone is safe.

Great place during Pandemic. Extra employees for cleaning and sanitizing. Big parking lot.

Good gym. Something for everyone, wide variety of activities, equipment and sports. Can get crowded at times.

I love the high energy and kindness of the counselors!!!! My children enjoy all of the games and activities provided and the Camp gives them a sense of self pride, leadership and kindness. I love that my children have become better swimmers and have gained confidence in themselves with regard to athletics, trying new things, and making friends!!

I love the staff, they are amazing. I look forward to my daughter attending every summer, just as I did when my son was her age. My son is now working as a counselor himself, which just goes to show how much we really love the family atmosphere.

Please make sure to cancel your membership prior to the next month starting, because they “can’t” refund....even when you haven’t stepped into the facility for over 14 months due to the pandemic! Please donate so that the Y survives these tough times, we sure did!

Staff are dedicated, energetic, fun, and the activities are great. I will send my child to this camp until he ages out. AND, let me say they did a great job during the COVID 19. Always felt like my child was safe.

Just a great place to exercise

The Western Family YMCA is one of the few places I trust with my children. There are small issues everywhere, but the staff and community work hard to make it a homey place to get and stay fit. The focus is on building community relationships, taking care of each other as we care for ourselves. Thank you, Y staff, for supporting me and my family in our goals all these years.

I love Western Family YMCA. My kids go to camp, dance, take swim lessons and play sports here. The staff are amazing. There is a real sense of community here.

I was very relaxed it was quiet and peaceful

I love the 10 lane lap lane pool and have used it since May and have lost 40+lbs!! I love the lifeguards and their friendliness!!EDIT:I love the staff and how they treat me like family. I love the 10 lane pool and all of the aquatic staff. I appreciate them and they make me feel appreciated as well!!Without my daily pool access, I would still be depressed and not working on my physical health. Western YMCA is THE BEST!!

The Western Y is the best! It has been thoroughly cleaned. I feel safe going there during this pandemic.

Great for families and kids

Good mix of fitness equipment. Also had fitness classes for adults and kids. They have a 3 lane pool and a gym. It was easy to use my reciprocal membership while traveling from Michigan. Parking lot is busy, but thats because it gets a lot of patrons.

Just reopening after the COVIN-19 restrictions.It is a good place to establish a fit work out.

Good spot

My daughter loves all the activities and enjoys coming every year. The counselors are great and many of them build lasting relationships with the kids. Wish camp would be available for a little longer age wish as they grow into teens.

The Western Y offers a variety of classes that meet the needs of all. It’s a family friendly environment with a dedicated welcoming staff. The fitness equipment is up-to-date and many to choose.

I have been a member of the Y for over 40 years. I hope to be a member till I leave this world. Facilities are first class. My doctor once told me to use the wonderful gym. Every day you work out at there you will extend your life by a month. The proof of quality is seen on the happy faces of all at the Y..

The instructor helped me get to know different exercise machines and explain how to work each one of them.She was very patient and professional in helping me not to do more than what I could tolerate as a 86 years old beginner.Everyone of the staff was pleasant and helpful.

I have been going to the Western Y for several years. The past 2years I have participated in the Aqua classes. Both outside inside and the bubble pool. The instructors, are fantastic! Shout out to Carol L. Jaclyn T and JD!.

Good location, but it could stand to be renovated. It gets quite crowded in the evenings and parking is terrible here. Definitely not as good as the Brandywine or Bear locations. But overall the staff is super friendly and helpful!

Great place to get a workout. But on top of that, great instructors for [swim] lessons!!

The child care makes it very easy to work out and they always treat my child with respect and with care. The facility is clean and has enough machines available so I rarely have a wait. The classes are also really fun and always start and end on time.

Great place for families! Highly recommend the Western YMCA!

The primary reason for my continued membership at the Delaware YMCA is the ability to take my son Ben, who has Autism, for a swim every Sunday afternoon all year long. Its one of the highlights of his week, and certainly of mine, too. He can be extremely difficult to work with and the YMCA community is full of understanding and encouraging people who help me get through whats often a 5-6 hour long process just to swim 30-40 lengths with Ben. Spending an hour waiting on Ben in the mens room, another hour waiting at the water fountain, and again in the shower can seem like an eternity, but a kind word from some YMCA acquaintance can go a very long way to restoring my patience and making the afternoon less of an ordeal. If not for the pool, its likely that Id opt for a much lower cost option like Retro or LA Fitness.

Facilities are excellently maintained, including weight room, locker rooms, and small gyms. Staff is friendly and make sure every visit is pleasant. Above all, YMCA offers a lot of fitness options at an excellent price.

What an outstanding facility the Western Y is for the whole family. The staff is always available to give the best guidance and information on all the possible equipment and exercises that can really help improved your physical health. Love this place!!

Well...I call today to get information about the daddy daughter dance. Miss deby not only helped me with the information I asked for she also helped me register for the daddy daughter dance. She went above and beyond. We as a family thank you to the ymca. To have people like miss deby.

There are so many options available during the daytime and evening, which really helps me find a good time to exercise while also being home taking care of my children. All the programs and activities are adequately described so you can decide which class is right for you. I love that one day I can take a cardio or strength class, and the next I can hop in the pool for a low impact workout. Plus all the staff we have encountered during swim lessons with our children have been so supportive and caring.

I love the friendly staff and awesome trainers! Im absolutely hooked on Bodypump classes and Les mills sprint!

Ive only been here because of a swim meet so the only facility that I have visited is the outdoor pool.Pros: Large 10 lane pool, allows for combining heats to speed up the duration of the meet. Pool is fairly clean. There is plenty of deck space for both teams to watch the meet.Cons: Restrooms are not maintained very well. Toilets and sinks can be sometimes dirty.

Such a friendly place to come to from the moment you walk through the door. The staff is extremely helpful and there are plenty of programs to keep you involved.

Great member services outreach

Average customer service with yearly rising membership fees. Overall its a good starting point for getting kids into sports. I just dont think you are getting your full moneys worth at times.

It is a really good place because if you want to go to the gym you can put your kids at the child care they take if you kids until you come and take them. Also another thing that is really good is the pool is really warm and it’s really big so that you and your family can swim and they can enjoy it to 🤩

The gym is always vary clean and equipment up to date. I really enjoy the atmostphere of people that are all from different walks of life who are so respectful to everyone.

Great place for families with kids its something for the whole family to do!

1) I am addicted to the rowing machine. It is a great way to excercise all muscles at once along with moving back, and forth.2) Your staff is doing an excellent job of maintaining this facility.

Ive recently started visiting this site. The pool classes are crowded & a bit overstimulating at times in the morning (with respect to my health issues). The staff was very helpful yesterday when I wasnt feeling well and things took a bad turn. They were very responsive, supportive, and took every measure to ensure that I had proper care. Good look!

Our family has Loved coming to the Western YMCA for over a decade on and off, & both my Children learned to swim in the indoor pool. But this was the 1st year I’ve ever came and actually exercised in the Gym or pool, on social Media I had seen posts/videos of an instructor and one day while I was working out in the Gym I met her in person and she told me about a few classes she taught and I decided to start taking them and met some wonderful people in her classes who wide armed accepted me. NOW Here’s the MAIN reason I’m writing this review ⭐️⭐️⭐️Last month we moved to a new house and started to move, I started missing classes to get the work that needed to be done done for the move and at the WORST time possible I had horrible pain and had to go to the ER and found out I needed emergency surgery to save my life.Shortly After surgery I received a message from Elizabeth Alexander (my Aqua class instructor) asking how I was doing with the move and offering to help. OMG I thought no way! WHAT amazing timing!! I reached right back out to her and told her what had happened and she snapped into action and went above and beyond for me! First she visited me in the hospital and brought me flowers and lifted my spirits, Then while I was kept there in the hospital Elizabeth recruited 2 girls from class and they went to my old house and packed up EVERTHING and I mean EVERYTHING even my cat! And packed up their vehicles and drove it ALL over to my new house and brought it all in for me! (Did I mention one of the ladies Mrs Alexander recruited to help was a VETERINARIAN !? Which is amazing since my fat cat hates people and a vet is the only person other then me who could of handled him!) I can’t tell you how much this helped me and my family and what it’s meant to me, I have some acquaintances that I’ve known for decades that didn’t, couldn’t or just straight out Wouldn’t do any of these things for me when I needed it most, but a woman who was a complete stranger to me 4 months ago did all that and even more. I can’t wait to be fully healed and get back to her classes and my classmates!!

We loved their summer camp! Great staff and nice facility.

The Thai Chi class was amazing. She took us on a journey through the water art of aquatic Thi Chai. Her class was very easy to take. I enjoyed it.

The basketball court should be used for basketball. Nothing is more frustrating than driving to the gym to play basketball only to be kicked off for people who are about to play pickle ball. Or only being able to use half the court while a bunch of kids play dodge ball at the other end. Or not being able to play basketball until 4:30 on a Saturday since the gym is reserved for youth sports until then. Or wanting to go play basketball to unwind after a long day at work only to find the gym is reserved until 8:30 pm when they close at 10. For a guy who joined this gym specifically to play basketball in the winter months I have been tremendously disappointed with my inability to do so time and time again.

Excellent swimming instructor that offers personalized training understanding your needs and helps you be at ease increasing confidence taking you to a whole new level.

My schedule is unpredictable so classes arent an option for me. I love the Ys every-day schedule of all day hours. It means I can fit in a work-out whenever it works for me. Thanks Western Family Y!

I like the themed camps, that the children get to swim almost daily, the camp gets them outside and keeps them active, the counselors are care for the kids and most of all I feel my child is in a safe and fun environment.

Excercise, pool, classes. What more can you ask for at this point.

Great family atmosphere

I like this Y. Its a little crowded, and he sauna is fairly small, but the staff is kind. My only complaint is that they NEVER change my kids diapers. The kid zone people are nice, but every time I go there, my kids come out with crusted poop butts. I even tried to call and email the kid zone director, but apparently they do not care.

Great Y...my kids live the family pool. The local pizza place will deliver there the staff is always friendly and inviting. And the facilities are very clean

Group fitness classes are wonderful! Friendly atmosphere!

Love my ymca

Clean, neat, organized, a variety of equipment, very spacious, and great friendly knowledgeable helpful staff.

Me and my family truly loves the ymca so peaceful and clean ..we love the staff as well we enjoy coming to the ymca to get away from the city of Wilmington to enjoy a day in peace so thank you for providing a safe and peaceful place for my children

Good member benefits

Great facilities and a kind staff

I have been in this place for more than 6 years and my experience in this gym has been very pleasant, excellent service very friendly and the swimming pools especially the zauna is something that I personally enjoy a lot, also in summer because you can Enjoy family in the pools.

We love the aquatics program. The lessons are taught well and the instructors make class fun.

Variety of classes ( bodypump is a game changer) and equipment, no hassle pressure to do this or that. Great staff!

My entire family loves Western Family Y extremely friendly and knowledgeable staff,we love spending our time at the pool,basket ball court and the gym,I would definitely recommend it everyone!

The Western Y is a very happy and upbeat place ... right from the reception desk to the instructors.

My son love the swimming class !

Great place but Un experience lifeguards and very disrespectful, my son and myself went to the indoor pool on Tuesday night as usual, I did not know that the schedule had changed. We were about to get into the pool exactly at 8:20 after the class was over and the young ladie actually yelled at us. YOU CAN NOT GET IN THE POOL without any explanation, there were more families waiting to get in with there kids as well. Its ashamed that the pool its just for the same people that were in class already. The only reason we visit the Y is because of the open pool on Tuesday and Thursdays and not only us were disappointed many more families too.

Great gym, and my kids love the pool. We love it there

Helpful friendly clean

Family friendly and a great place to swim. Excellent equipment. Also checkout the YMCA location off route 40 in Bear.

NEVER go here on 4th of July! They shut down half the pools and crowd everyone into the kiddie pool complex. There is no room to actually enjoy the water. Not enough shade. Only 3 showers for hundreds of women and kids. Constant bickering between the people trying to swim laps and people just trying to find a place in the water. The water gets too hot to even cool off in. Then there is the line of people waiting in the sun outside, for other people to leave, so they can get in because the place is over capacity. Worst. Pool. Experience. EVER.

It has tons of options and Its very cozy and family based

I like the aqua yoga class is nice and relaxing and the fitquest with Heather Morris was excellent. She made me work out like it was not tomorrow and like I never did before and thought I couldnt do it.

Classes are great and the instructors are wonderful!

So I love of the classes schedules the staff are amazing 👍👍👍

Love the Y and all the programs they offer!

They even have a kids fitness center so the kids can exercise instead of just be babysat if ages 7 to 13. The outdoor pool complex is top rate.

Very well maintained, lots of activities.....great complex!

Love going here especially in the summer for the family fun pool!

Love working out at Western!

Friendly staff, not crowded, good programs for kids.

Clean environment and nice place to workout

I use the pools almost everyday

Great gym, great atmosphere, and everyone minds their own business.

Crappy gym, doo doo b-ball courts and it’s less convenient for me

This place sucks they wont let a 12 year old get a membership on his own, they have to be at least 14 thats stupid. But you could come here by yourself when your 12 how dumb.😤

The pool in the back does not have steps into it, it has ladder and handicapped chair, this is the Bubble pool in the winter months.

Love outdoor pool

Pools are awesome, helped my boys to learn how to swim!!!

Really great place, really busy, man can it get busy. I have been to highways with less people.

Very bad customer service. Rude staff!

Thisnplace is packed. Full of people. Ive been there a couple times. Could never understand what they tried to tell me. Confusing

Is always clean and is right next to the YMCA
