I’m a ymca member and my home ymca is the Middletown de one . Was in the area last week and gave this one a try. So many hot guys to flirt with in the men’s locker room it was awesome! Lots of cute jocks and twinks to work out with and swim together with them as well. Some good eye candy and a good workout always hits the spot. Got some cute guys number his name was Luke . Also outside the main entrance there was this huge spider who caught a bird in its web and was eating it! Gross! Me and that hot twink luke saw it and screamed like little school bus girls lol. Btw this place has a very welcoming atmosphere and guys like me feel very accepted and welcomed 🏳️‍🌈 which means a lot to me. All the staff here r very friendly as well . Keep it up ! Middletown de ymca has a lot of work to do to match u guys

It’s my 1st day on a 3 days trail. Office personnel very professional and friendly. Amazing atmosphere: you can see staff and their customers know each other well enough to have relaxed conversations. Customers are disciplined and friendly. —- Gym good equipped and not over crowded. Pool same thing. It’s a place meant for relaxation! I was impressed by the cleanliness and the smell reflecting it. Anywhere you go it smells nice and is spot clean! Definitely recommended to anyone. Family, kids, individuals. Anyone that is kind fits. The place is fantastic. I will definitely become permanent member! Antonios Kiflemariam !

Came in hopelessly to renew my membership. The gentlemen at this facility provided me with excellent customer service, answered all my questions, provided resource information & assured me they would take care of renewing my membership. My membership got renewed and updated within 5 Mins. I should’ve came here sooner!
