Yes I really like it.
Classes
First, I love the YMCA. I've been to YMCA locations in at least 100 cities. But the NIR YMCA is my home Y, and I really think it's great. The staff is friendly and helpful.
BUT PHONES !!! People are on their phones in the locker rooms. In the bathroom and shower area. In the weight rooms. Sitting on the machines. Basically everywhere.
Phone use in those areas is specifically prohibited according to the RULES of the YMCA. But nobody is enforcing it. I see it happening, it only takes me five seconds to assess each room I enter. Maybe you can find an employee with the skills necessary to see it happening.
If you have a rule but don't enforce it, does this mean that anyone is free to ignore any rule at any time? Do I really have to shower before entering the pool? It's rarely enforced, so ...
Everything! Awesome folks at the entry desk, clean facilities and smiling helpful staff wherever you are training or swimming! Just can’t be beat!
I love the YMCA because it has everything I need. Staff is very kind and patient and knowledgeable. The place is clean and organized and I feel safe.
The people are kind, the facilities are nice, signing up for things is easy, the app is good. Not any bad to say really.

Doesn't get any better than the Wilmington Y whether it's the Nir location or Mid-Town! They have so many things to offer at state of the art facilities. Nationally known, respected, & innovative. I was one of the first members when the Y moved from downtown to the current location on Market St. As a child, I lived 1 block from the Y & would walk there a lot. There was very little traffic on Market St at the time.
For me it’s all about the family pool being open for personal time everyday. The sun shining through the windows and doors is so serene. The parents enjoying the water with their little ones and the joyful squeals of children when the life guard turns on the waterfalls. Those waterfalls just add to my meditative state. It’s a wonderful way to exercise.
Clean, open, available, friendly... Great community!

I love the 6am classes and instructors. I do wish Gordon were still teaching the Tuesday morning Body Pump class because he is a great teacher!
I just joined with my sister & have enjoyed the friendly people I have met so far. We are enrolled in the class to get familiar with the different programs and equipment this next week. The ease of access is great and I am looking forward to becoming even more active.
My family and I love the Y. The child care is amazing. Everyone is super friendly.
The classes.
What I like is the genuine level of care demonstrated by the staff, from custodians to personal trainers and administrators, of the Nir Family YMCA. There is always a friendly face present, genuine compassion shown, encouragement given, and accommodation made as needed in the programs offered there.
The overall facility and the friendly atmosphere. The only thing we need is a whirlpool/hot tub.
Everything

Caring and friendly staff. Great programs for anyone.
Great facility!
May I recommend that you monitor who actually attends the pickleball time they have signed up for? On Monday we only had 18 people and that means that 6 didn't show. And others wanted to get into the class. Midtown has people check in on paper.
