There are alot of programs geared for seniors and all of the instructors we have dealt with thus far have worked with my wife on participating even though she is somewhat disabled. They instruct her to do exercises in another way that she can handle and still get the benefits.

I like the convenience of the after school program. The coordinators for the school are caring of our kids and offer different activities each day. Their interaction with the children is hands on.

I have been a member at the YMCA for the past 20 years, I have been going to the Bear Glasgow Ymca as long as it’s been open. My family and I absolutely love the y and the staff! We are so lucky to have a place like this in our community.

Great family center! There’s something for everybody, a huge array of classes everyday of the week. My friends and I meet for yoga multiple times a week, with various times and styles of classes from which we can choose from, with awesome instructors! I recommend trying out classes and joining!

IT'S A SHAME that YMCA of DE doesn't participate in the AARP/United Healthcare "Renew Active" program. This program helps seniors of Delaware to stay active.I'm the YMCA member for many years.Last year AARP paid 50% of the membership fees.This year AARP will pay 100% of the fee, but YMCA stoped accepting the program.PLEASE RECONSIDER YOU DECISION and allow seniors to participate.In response to your reply.Please be informed, that AARP discontinued 50% reimbursement program and updated it to 100% reimbursement.Unfortunately YMCA will not accept the new program leaving seniors without any financial help.PLEASE start accepting the nee program from AARP.

The YMCA Bear facility is terrific and I always praise it when discussing various gyms with others. However, as a 73 year old living on a fixed income, the cost is reaching the limit of my financial capability. Planet Fitness, here I come! Yuk.

Lots of options in the fitness center. Even when it is crowded you can find a cardio machine available. I really enjoyed the personal training with Gina R.
