Best Gyms with Free Wi Fi near Newark, Delaware

This YMCA is much larger than it looks from the outside. It also has way more parking than you think, but it doesn't excuse the fact that it's 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 don't 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.

This is a wonderful place for daily workouts, they offer variety of options like swimming, yoga, Zumba, Gym and many more… Their 2 hour day care is amazing, especially if you’re are a busy mom trying to squeeze in some workouts for you. The gym is crowded in the evenings. They have plenty of parking lots however, if you are looking to park closer to the main entrance that won’t be easy all the time. It will be full most of the time.

Teen son’s belongings were stolen 4 different times! The last time I filed a police report. NONE of the staff members had a clue what to do!! I had to re-explain the situation to every staff person that was sent to “help”. They have cameras in the gymnasium and a monitor on the front desk but the kids in there are still not safe! It took a week of follow-ups, those in charge not getting the memo for 5 days, state trooper answered me through email before the staff did! They are all a hot mess in there. Staff members are clueless. Canceled my membership as soon as it was all over and am posting this as a warning to other parents who actually do care about their kids’ well-being. They do not care about you nor your child. They have every excuse to not have to actually do their job. Protocols are all over the place. I would not recommend this place for children nor teenagers. Check the reviews for all of the YMCA’s. They’re not up to par.

While calling about a family membership, we asked them a simple question on what their policy was for using the locker rooms. They didn't answer and, in a very nasty tone, told us the YMCA is not the place for us and our family. We called Hockessin Athletic Club with the same exact question and they were very friendly and explained everything in detail, and even invited us in for a tour. Ironically, it turns out both places have the same exact policy we were asking about. I'm not sure why the YMCA discriminated against us. It turns out we like the Hockessin Athletic Club more anyway so it all worked out.

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 don’t understand how this gym does not get 10 stars. The reviews that are only adequate do not align with the quality level of expertise provided. The facility design is laid out beautifully and offers so much by way of equipment and opportunity. Having on-site training is a huge benefit and they are consistently working with new clients. It’s great to see those people working out on their own after learning a routine. Staff is over the top —pleasant, fun, upbeat, extremely knowledgeable, and happy to answer a question or demonstrate. Classes are available to anyone who wants to participate. Hydro massage chair is available as well. You get what you pay for is common saying, but I feel CRUNCH is so much more! Bravo team, Newark!

Have been going here for close to a year now. Overall, it has been a great experience. It’s a solid gym for all people, whether just starting or experienced. Always clean. It can get busy but I haven’t seen a gym that doesn’t. At peak times, I’ll just change up my workout or work in with someone. I’ve never had an issue getting what I needed done. Other members are respectful and friendly. Staff is on point. My experience has always been positive.

This is a great gym environment to meet new people and get a great workout in. The employees are always nice and polite to me from when i enter to when i leave the gym. The manager Madi is the best ! The gym is always clean and the machines are the best to get a good pump ! They also have the best personal trainers that will push you through your workouts and help you accomplish your fitness goals. Hours of operation are very convenient. The location is in a convenient location near UD, also next to a grocery store.

*** this has no reflection on the Newark site, but the cancellation process** it has been an absolute nightmare to cancel the payment process. I have STOPPED payment with my bank but my bank has discovered they changed their merchant account name to bypass the stop payment. This is has been going on since JULY of 2024. I advise everyone to not sign up and go somewhere else that doesn’t do shady business. This is horrendous.

The staff are friendly, encouraging, and helpful. I really appreciate that when I come in and need the motivation. Arelis is my superstar! She is knowledgeable and educates me on proper form and use of Crunch’s equipment. The workouts are just hard enough and she is a great motivator and womentor. Even though I am a woman of a certain age she is engaged and helps me to achieve personal bests and goals. The gym is big, has pretty much everything you might want to sculpt your body, and is open long hours. I enjoy the classes too. The folks at Crunch are diverse and there to put in the work.

Best gym staff I’ve ever had! Been a 5 year me ever and visited many locations. These fine ladies and gentleman update their boards very frequently and often put out fun activities and incentives for my gym motivation! Their location is one of the smaller ones, which is a bonus for me. It still has all of the equipment I need! Also the other member I see there often are all very nice people and easy going.

The right place for me to workout, not too far from home and not far from work place! People are very nice inside, the group exercise are also friendly. If you’re looking for a place to workout without anyone to bother you and having a peaceful mind focusing on your workout? This is the right place for you! And for every new person that want to exercise here at these location, The staff here are always early morning to help you if you ever have any questions about it! The place that are 10 minutes drives from this place to that crowded fitness places they’re not open 24 hours. For people who have to work until late at night and wanted to have to build muscle or exercise, I don’t recommends that 10 minutes drive to the other places.

Love this gym! It’s very clean and the employees are really nice! Angela and Earl are the best!

I really enjoy this location. Some may think it is quite small, but I do think it is equipped with enough squat racks, free weights, and machines (for lifting and cardio) to get a really good workout in. The best part for me is the gym being open for 24 hours. I work long hours during the day so being able to get in a workout after work without having to rush is greatly appreciated. While I have not interacted with the staff much because I tend to work out later in the evening/night, the few interactions I have had have been outstanding!

I have been a member for approximately half a year. I find the gym to be well equipped and the staff is great. They are knowledgeable, attentive and encouraging. I particularly enjoy the small group classes and have already seen improvements in my physical strength and endurance.

Katie Mackie is an amazing trainer to work with at RX fitness. My wife and I have done training with her for about 6 months now and we really enjoy her and the facilities at RX.

Professional, but individual. Great group of advanced individual trainers - each with different strengths for all kinds of needs. Highly recommend.

Trainers for health and fitness. No matter what shape or weight you are, this is the place to start.

Fantastic! Check out the MTA . Muscle activation therapy to help with back pain.
