5 Amazing Private Gyms in Delaware [2024]

It's 2024 and, now more than ever people are starting to crave private gyms, rather than going to another commercial chain. And, I can confidently say that private gyms are always cleaner, friendlier, and 100% of the time less busy. Additionally, I can't say enough about how much the communities impact these gym vibes. In a private gym, you see familiar faces and tend to meet individuals who share common goals as yourself. However, I hate how inaccessible these private gyms are. So luckily, I got you covered today; here are 5 of the most amazing private gyms near Deleware.

1. Kal-El CrossFit

Kal-El CrossFit is a place where hard workers come to better themselves. You can always expect a challenge working out here. For unlimited access, it costs $135/mo. This comes with CrossFit classes led by owners Brett Gibson and his wife, Wendy Gibson. I 100% would come to this gym based on the open gym policy. It only costs $100/mo and compared to most gyms, this is very generous. I highly advise athletes to check this gym to take their game to the next level.

2. Balance Strength & Fitness Center

BSF is a clean, well-equipped 5500 sq ft facility that offers open memberships, personal training, and even group classes. Opening in 2001, they've been serving the Wilmington community for over 20 years. For a 12-month membership, it only costs $29/mo. One of the nicest things about this gym is that the month-to-month memberships can be canceled, at any time, within 30 days' notice. Their group classes include HIIT, Strength and Muscle, Brazilian Jui Jitsu, and Boot Camp. Make sure to take advantage of their power racks, lifting platforms, and the 50 feet of grass turf.

3. CrossFit Petram

CrossFit Petram is one of those gyms that's always kept super clean and stacked with amazing amenities. They offer expert coaching, open gym hours, an infrared sauna, new showers, and recovery tools. CF Petram offers fitness for a variety of different age groups. They have CrossFit Teens which is ideally for ages 12-16. Additionally, they have CrossFit Kids with the motto "Healthy kids grow up to be healthy adults." I also found that this gym offers 'A Weekly Fight.' The Weekly Fight is a registered 501-c3 non-profit company dedicated to turning Combat Post Traumatic Stress into Post Traumatic Growth. CF Petran supports The Weekly Fight by hosting a 9am Saturday workout, free to all veterans, first responders, and their families. Truly, I can't say enough good things about this gym. If you are traveling, live in the area, play sports, or want to change your life, this is the gym to start.

4. CrossFit Reconstructed

CrossFit Reconstructed believes in the principle of keeping things simple yet effective. CrossFit Reconstructed has been committed to the CF methodology since 2014, and I don't see them going anywhere, anytime soon. They offer CrossFit Classes, Teen Strength and Fitness, Nutrition Coaching, and Personal Training. A drop-in day pass costs only $25, which is standard for a CF gym. You should expect a friendly environment from all three owners, Stephanie, Steve, and Tom. I can't recommend coming to this gym enough, especially if you're an athlete.

5. Riv Athletics

Riv Athletics is a top gym in Delaware. They opened in 2010, before outgrowing the small space and moving to their, 12,00o+ sq ft facility. Their philosophy on fitness and community has evolved, from being a small gym to, now, offering a wide variety of training programs, including RivFit Endurance and Olympic Lifting classes. A day pass here costs $25 and a week pass costs $85. If you're an athlete or were once an athlete, this is the gym to be at. Owner, Mike Mood, was once a soccer player, at the collegiate level, but now relies on CrossFit to stay in shape. I highly advise athletes, of all sports, to check out Riv Athletics.
