Member Testimonials
Facilities and staff are top notch
I love the Nir Family Y - the people are always friendly and courteous. The facility is always clean. The instructors are great - Leandra, Katie, Alicia, Will and the new Aquatic Zumba instructor Marisol. I attended the Aquatic Zumba this morning and it was great all attendees seem to love the class and Marisol.
I would like to make a recommendation for the 7:15 am slot at the family pool Tuesday and Thursday to be Aquatic Zumba. My wife and I would probably attend at least one class a week or maybe two on days we decide to double up (7:15 and 8:15) because we also like Leandra's class.
Thank you for getting the large fan at the family pool fixed and the sauna at the men's locker room repaired. After the floor have been replaced, there is a step down and step up going in and out of the sauna. There is a sign outside to watch your step - can I make a suggestion - can we please paint the step up / down with yellow paint that would serve as a caution for us oldies before an accident happens - PLEASE!!
My wife mentioned that the steam room at the women's locker room has not yet been fixed maybe for 3+ weeks. My only negative comment about the Nir Family Y at this time is it takes a little bit too long to get things fixed (large ceiling? fan at the family pool, women's locker steam room, etc.). I understand that there are constraints and limitations - just adding my two cents.
Overall - we are 100% very happy with the Nir Family Y. We appreciate having a nice facility and wonderful staff and friendly Y members. It is a wonderful facility to help us get fit and with the pool, steam room and sauna helps us shorten the winter cold weather.
THANK YOU!
love it
The YMCA has activities, fitness, and health programs for every age group. I am a youthful senior, and I have engaged in personal training, women's weight training, group exercise classes, learn-to-swim classes, and water aerobics. I challenge myself often to learn new things. Most of all, I like the upbeat, friendly, and enthusiastic staff who are ever ready to support your fitness and health goals.
It’s easy to belong.
LOVE Zumba!
The YMCA NIR, Wilmington, NC is a terrific place to exercise and mingle with nice folks. The classes are very well coordinated and the instructors are very professional and knowledgeable. The new equipment is very nice; however they need to consider some equipment to adjust machine levels for shorter people (not a joke). All in all the YMCA meets many of my needs and I always look forward to going. Nice Job!
Friendly atmosphere
Great place to go
I've been going to the YMCA since I was a kid 53 years ago. I thought it was a great place to go then and with all the improvements and changes they've made I believe it is still a great place to go now. It is certainly a family-friendly the pool, sauna, and steam rooms are great. With a large basketball court, handball courts and weight rooms you can't go wrong if you're looking to improve your health.
I like the YMCA community. The front desk staff is friendly and I enjoy chatting with them or just their friendly greeting each morning. I really enjoy my water aerobics classes. The instructors and fellow participants are great. I have fun while getting my daily exercise. Chilling in the sauna, whether reading a book, doing my puzzles or just listening to my music is relaxing after working out. And although I don't use the facilities 24/7, I thing it was a great idea to expand the operating hours for the members.
My beef with the YMCA is their (perceived) laxed attitude towards the comfort of the membership. The timespan for making repairs (pool heaters, exhaust fan, steam room) is horrific. There is no good reason why you can't do better when it comes to facility maintenance.
Enjoy the classes!
The staff and facility is the best!
Class variety

Everything. Clean facilities, lots of activity options, and Allon!
The Y has always been a great place to workout
Son geniales todos
I love the swim programs and the youth leadership. My only complaint is how cold the dressing rooms are and that in the afternoons, the swim team folks continue to open the side door making it cold for the swimmers.
Everything!
Please do somethingabout the smell in the men's locker room. Some large floor fans to circulate air would be great!
I like the friendly staff, variety of services and offerings and having experts on hand.
