Western Family YMCA

Recently rejoined with the goal of getting in better shape. I started with a personal trainer, Tina, who has completely changed my view of working out and what my body is capable of doing. She is positive, encouraging, energetic, compassionate and there is zero shame in her approach. She is everything a trainer should be. She has kept me motivated to show up even when I’m not meeting with her.

This location is friendly and welcoming. Any time I visit there are always a selection of no cost options for members to join classes. I have tried cycling, indoor pool water aerobics, Sauna, gym equipment and always feel rejuvenated when I leave. I have been told by members I inspire them and I have shared similar sentiments with other members. It is a family friend, community uplifting YMCA. In addition, there are personal trainers and other programs with related fees to participate. I highly recommend the Western Y.

I came in for a tour on the facility and I was greeted by a nice lady at the front desk. As I was inquiring about summer camp, I was introduced to Mr. Dave. His energy and personality was AMAZING and because of him I was completely SOLD. He showed me around and I can’t wait to pass by him when we’re utilizing the facility. My family and I are joining the Western YMCA! Thanks Mr. Dave!

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!!

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!

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!

Great place. I have been a member here for five years. Every time when I come, I feel at home. That's awesome. And I can use the Membership even in other states. So grateful.

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!!

My family has had a y membership for YEARS! BEST PLACE FOR MY CHILDREN TO EXPLORE ALL OPTIONS IN EXTRA CURRICULAR ACTIVITIES ❤🥰❤ & I get a mommy break by using the free daycare to workout= amazing opportunity! Sign up today! I promise it's worth it!

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 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.

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. It's 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 what's often a 5-6 hour long process just to swim 30-40 lengths with Ben. Spending an hour waiting on Ben in the men's 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, it's likely that I'd opt for a much lower cost option like Retro or LA Fitness.

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.

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 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 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..

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.

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.

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.

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!.
