BlkOps Fitness

Fantastic experience: I’ve been a member of BlkOps for a few months now, and feel an overwhelming sense of support from not only the owners, but the athletes as well. Just a really great community to be apart of in such a short time. If you’re looking for a space that provides knowledge, leadership, and passion - look no further!

Fantastic experience: I became a member at blkops in October 2022. This gym is top 3 one of my favorite things that has happened to me this year! The support and motivation that I have received so far is unmatched. Within one week all of the trainers knew me by name and made me feel like part of the fam. Always asking me if I needed help and how I was feeling. When I discovered weight lifting back in 2015 I realized it was something I wanted to incorporate into my daily routine. It gives me a sense of accomplishment but also challenges me at the same time. For someone who is competitive, we need that. Long story short I fell off the wagon between moving to DE, covid, and every other excuse in the book. I almost convinced myself I didn’t need the gym anymore. Blkops quickly showed me that I was wrong… it’s the best part of my day. Thank you blkops team for being so welcoming! I look forward to what 2023 has in store!

Fantastic experience: I can’t say enough great things about this community. Notice how I didn’t say gym… I said community. Because this place is so much more than a place to workout. Of course the vibes and the aesthetic are immaculate and the design doesn’t go unnoticed . But the community is why I show up and continue to show up. Antonio and Kelly (the owners) are so supportive of you not just in the gym, but out. They genuinely care. I will never forget their kindness and support during my postpartum journey. Not only that but the coaches are so encouraging and constantly pushing you to be your best self. The community as a whole have become dear friends and I am so thankful to have found a spot to call home. It’s way more than a place to physically move my body but it’s a safe space for me mentally too. A place where I’m lifted out of dark times, even if no one realizes that’s what I needed. You won’t regret coming into Blkops.

Fantastic experience: Truly the best gym and community I’ve ever been a part of. Everyone is so welcoming from the moment you join and everyone really supports each other inside and outside of the gym. I have even brought family and friends to a workout or two and they’re jealous they don’t live closer so they can also join the BlkOps family. Best decision I ever made!

Fantastic experience: Incredible gym and the best community I could ever ask for. Since joining the gym we have learned so much about health, fitness and personal growth. Thank you so much to Antonio, Kelly, Maddie and all the incredible coaches!

Fantastic experience: I started lifting when I was in 7th Grade, I played two college sports and when lockdown hit, I went into hibernation bad! My weight got over 300lbs, something I have always struggled with. Walking up a flight of stairs gassed me. I finally had a moment where I snapped and wanted to get back in the gym and I struggled for a year to find a gym that I felt at home that I did not feel like an outcast. THEN I FOUND BLK OPS!! From Day one Antonio and Kelly have made me feel at home. The coaching staff is AMAZING they are so personable, and Knowledgeable. The support I have here reminds me of the support system I had while playing College sports. After 3 MONTHS I was in my first competition and look forward to my next! Something that stands out to me here is how much the community cares about you. That starts with Antonio/Kelly and Staff. Every Day my Alarm goes off at 5AM and I CAN NOT WAIT TO GET TO THE GYM, to see the BLKOPS Fam!

Fantastic experience: The Triple Threat competition was such an awesome day, Antonio! I can only imagine how many moving parts you and the event staff had to keep track of, but from the perspective of an athlete the day moved seamlessly! It was so much fun! I'm not sure I can express accurately how much it has meant to me to become a part of the BlkOps community. Since graduating college and working through grad school, I've experienced a lot of ups and downs in my relationship with my body and my mental health. BlkOps has provided me a space to heal and a community to be a part of that I didn't know I needed! It's one of the things that gets me up in the morning and keeps me moving forward. Thank you for creating this space and being so relentless in your pursuit of excellence in all you do. I am so thankful for BlkOps and the BlkOps family and am thrilled for what's ahead!

Fantastic experience: I am not a BlkOps Fitness member but they were so gracious enough to allow me to join their nutrition challenge. I was beyond impressed with their very welcoming atmosphere. I had to go in to the actual building to complete my inBody scan and was greeted with open arms. They were very hospitable, friendly and super down to earth. The challenge itself was amazing. The community aspect of the challenge was just what I needed to hold me accountable to the daily tasks. I also learned so much! The daily lessons were very informative, easy to understand and helpful. I would definitely recommend BlkOps for their fitness challenge and I am sure that if I had this great of an experience with the fitness challenge that the gym itself as a member is top notch! Bravo BlkOps, thanks for having me!!

Fantastic experience: Absolutely fantastic facility! Just completed a “Summer Slim Down” with some super nice people. Thanks to Kelly DeAscanis , Stephanie McConnell & Jessica Joyner and their professional knowledge on nutrition and fitness , I have never been more ready for Summer!

Fantastic experience: I'm coming up on six months at BlkOps and I wanted to share my experience with anyone that might be considering joining this gym. This was my first experience with group fitness, or any sort of fitness outside of biking. I was apprehensive at first, but the owners Antonio and Kelly along with the rest of the coaching staff put any sort of worry at ease. All of the coaches took time to work with me as a beginner, and as my skills grow helped (and still help) me hone my techniques. Recently one of the coaches took the time to drop a note in the mail noting my progress and hard work. All of the coaches have done things similar to keep me motivated and feeling good about what I'm doing, that just happens to be the most tangible example. The sense of community at this gym is unlike anything I have experienced before, the athletes I work out with on the daily are also full of positive energy and supportive. Six months in and I'm seeing physical changes to my body, I feel amazing both mentally and physically. It was absolutely the best decision I have ever made, I wish I had joined years ago. If you are even remotely considering joining a gym, you should absolutely check BlkOps out. You won't be disappointed!

Fantastic experience: I joined BlkOps in August of 2021. This is my first time every being part of a gym. Let me tell you this is one of the best decisions I made in 2021. This place is more than just a gym, but is a community environment. I was a cardio only girl and never touched weights before. Now, I have experience in all types of workouts! The coaches have taught so much and are willing to really explain and cheer you on along your workout. The amount of class times offered are great for anyone's schedule. There are BlkOps community events as well as challenges and competitions that we do internally. It is so much more than just "working out." Antonio and Kelly, the owners, treat everyone like family. Both of them, as well as the awesome coaches will work with each person individually to help achieve their goals. The gym atmosphere here is supportive and encouraging to continue to show up. Yes, you can get up at 4/5am and look forward to going to the gym at 5/6am, it is possible when you love where you go! I love this place!!! I would recommend this gym to anyone. If I could give them 500 stars I would.

Fantastic experience: Positive: Communication , Professionalism , Quality This is an excellent community to be a part of. Antonio and Kelly always go the extra mile to make sure that the gym is super clean and they do a lot of extra work outside of the gym to build the community and help members achieve their goals.

Fantastic experience: I have been coming here for a month so far. When I joined, because of work, kids and just life, I had not even touched weights in like 6 or 7 years so I was pretty intimidated. It was hard at first and still is, but I’ve made major gains already. I have found this place to be very welcoming, and also challenging, which is what I was looking for. At the same time, I don’t feel pressure to try to compete right out of the gate and hurt myself, which I’ve done many times in the past. The gym is also very clean with very nice equipment. Highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: World class facility. Excellent programming for any level of fitness with a community that will not let you fail.

Fantastic experience: Positive: Communication , Professionalism , Quality Great place, amazing people! Real personal coaching on technique to avoid lesions and build over time.

Fantastic experience: I am a member of BlkOps and it’s not just a fitness center to me. It’s a lovely community with excellent coaches and amazing owners. Each member of the gym inspires me daily. Their classes make me put every ounce of blood and sweat and pushes my limit every day. Only regret is, I should have known about BlkOps sooner. I highly recommend this place to anyone around this area and I am sure you will meet a better version of yourself everyday

Fantastic experience: BlkOps has been the best gym I have ever been a part of! They tailor workouts to all different types of athletes and push you to get real results. Antonio, Kelly and the rest of the coaches have done an amazing job of creating a real sense of community between the gym members through constant encouragement and celebrating all types of accomplishments. I would recommend this gym to any type of person, whether you are an experienced athlete or have never worked out a day in your life, you will not find a better gym than BlkOps!

Fantastic experience: I did a 21 day virtual bodyweight challenge. I'm so sad this is all over. Not only have I learned some new moves, become more aware of positioning and movement, but I've also gotten a killer workout everyday. The group has been amazingly supportive and it's a relief to know that there are still folks building others up and spreading love, support, and positivity. Antonio DeAscanis Kelly DeAscanis and Britt, the coaches throughout the program, put so much work into creating the program. It was like working out with friends, providing constant encouragement, and empowering us to each strive for our personal greatness and reaching it!

Fantastic experience: Dropped in for some yoga and techno Sunday recently. Fun, great workout, Antonio is a great coach

Fantastic experience: Push ups, sit-ups, crunches, curls and more. What a great atmosphere to workout. The owners, Antonio and Kelly, the coaches and community are all top notch. Very happy to be a part of this work out culture known as BklOps fitness. If you don't know about techno Sundays you're missing out.

Fantastic experience: I joined BlkOps in December of 2017. Prior to joining, I was a member of the Y for years. More often than not, I paid for the Y without actually going, and when I did actually make it there, it was only to use the treadmill--literally only the treadmill--because I was scared and intimidated and it was the only piece of equipment I knew how to use. I immediately felt at home at BlkOps. The owners, Antonio and Kelly, and their team of coaches all supported me and helped me to grow. In my 2+ years there, I have learned SO much about lifting weights, conditioning, eating nutritionally, and feeling confident in myself. Now, when I am away from home, I feel confident in writing myself a challenging and effective workout and in marching directly into a hotel gym to execute it. And I don’t even touch the treadmill. On top of all that I have learned at BlkOps, I have gained some incredible friendships. Each member of the gym inspires me daily and helps make the gym feel like a home away from home. Because of these people and because of the challenging workouts that we persevere through together, going to the gym is now my favorite part of the day. I’ve gone from basically donating my money to the Y to working out on an almost daily basis. Oh, and also, I look a lot better now than when I first joined. If you’re looking to build on your existing fitness knowledge (whether you are a complete novice like I was or whether you already have a lot of experience), if you want to be challenged daily, if you want to join an incredible community, and if you want to look and feel dramatically better, BlkOps is the gym for you!

Fantastic experience: Excellent Programs, Excellent Coaches, Excellent Community. Family owned small business of a US Veteran.

Fantastic experience: I love BlkOps! Recently participated in their first ever virtual program during COVID quarantine - a 21 day intro challenge. Now, I am excited to graduate up to BlkOps virtual program 2.0. Happy that those of us who live in other states can belong to BlkOps, albeit virtually! I am drawn to the mix of mobility, body weight and strength training in Coach Antonio’s program. (I’ve also found that my running game has improved since joining BlkOps.) Most of all, I love the positivity infused throughout Coach Antonio’s classes. Coach Brittany and Kelly are fantastic too!!! I was an avid Orange Theory member but am now a BlkOps convert.

Fantastic experience: Whether you're a beginner or an elite athlete, BlkOps is the best gym around. The facilities are spotless and the coaches & owner are knowledgeable, welcoming, and totally badass. I've been working out here for years and am totally addicted!! Would absolutely recommend to athletes of any caliber.

Fantastic experience: BlkOps is awesome and I highly recommend signing up! The team there works hard to continually challenge members with new workouts and equipment, while also establishing a super strong community around the facility and fitness. Coaches and other members are all badass competitors, but are also very welcoming and friendly to newcomers. I've had various injuries from college sports and all the coaches took time to help support me whether I needed an alternative workout or extra form coaching. They even offer awesome recovery yoga on the weekend! Check BlkOps out!

Fantastic experience: Was in town visiting my sister who’s a regular here and joined her for a class. I don’t usually like going to gyms because of the attitudes but BlkOps was awesome! Everyone was really welcoming, the workout was fun, and the music was wicked. Highly suggest going even if you’re just going through town! Wish there was a gym like this closer to home.

Fantastic experience: It's been almost a year now since I've joined BlkOps after being a member at what most would call a "traditional" gym for several years, and I can honestly say, that I could not be happier to have made the change. I found that I had hit a plateau in my workouts and was no longer seeing progress, this immediately changed since joining. I continue to see progress in my strength, endurance, and mobility daily. The workouts are challenging, both mentally and physically, but are scaled to everyone’s ability. Coaches, Antonio, Kelly, Brittany, and Darrell are awesome, patient, and extremely welcoming as they truly do care about your goals and want to see you succeed, along with all the other members. Great gym and great community, as long as I live in the area, I will always be a member at BlkOps!

Fantastic experience: My wife and I joined BlkOps a month ago because we had heard such good things about it from two members who are close friends. It has honestly been a great experience thus far and we have really started to see a lot of changes in our athleticism, strength, and endurance. The coaches are top notch and Antonio and Kelly are great to work with. The atmosphere is fantastic and everyone was very welcoming and helpful. We 100% recommend this gym to anyone at any skill level!

Fantastic experience: I went to BlkOps Fitness while traveling and had a fantastic experience. Due to the relatively small class size (my class had about 8 people in it), the coaches can pay attention to your form on the different exercises and give pointers when needed. They also know how to scale the workout up or down based on the athlete's capabilities. I highly recommend anyone looking to get stronger, lose weight, or generally feel more energized to check out Blk Ops Fitness!

Fantastic experience: I grew up playing sports and when I finally hung up my jersey, it was insanely difficult for me to figure out what my next steps would be for fitness. I tried working out on my own at multiple gyms and had absolutely no idea what I was doing. I finally found a home at BlkOps almost a year ago. For the first time in my entire life, I finally understand why people love/enjoy working out. Antonio and Kelly have been so patient with me as I learn all the different movements. They encourage me and hold me accountable every day! They can work with all skill levels whether you're coming off of the couch and have never worked out or you're coming from another gym. You will be taken care of at BlkOps and will always be treated like family. I can't imagine my life without the BlkOps family!!!

Fantastic experience: Blkops has been the greatest investment I’ve ever made. I didn’t just join a gym, I joined a community of some of the best people I’ve ever met who motivate me every day! When I’m feeling unmotivated and don’t want to go to the gym I somehow find myself there anyway and am excited to get the next workout in. It’s been 6 months since I joined and won’t be going anywhere else! Thanks Antonio, Kelly, Britt, and Darrell!

Fantastic experience: If you want to get serious about your health and fitness, this place is great. Great atmosphere and great community for beginners or fitness enthusiasts. Antonio is an awesome coach. He cares, he's passionate and knowledgeable. I own and operate a fitness studio on the west coast, I'd recommend BlkOps Fitness to my friends and family.

Fantastic experience: I've been at BlkOps for a little over 2 months and am so happy I finally took the leap. As a former college athlete, I have always been active, but somewhere along the line I stopped challenging myself. BlkOps has helped me remember the person I was before becoming a working mom of 3. I couldn't be happier with the coaches, the workouts, and the other members - I feel like its the best money I spend a month. Thanks guys!

Fantastic experience: I came to Black Opps as a power lifter, looking to challenge myself “CARDIO”, and introduce some new fitness goals in mylife. What I found was a community of people not only interested in the same, but interested in helping push you to a level you thought you could not be pushed to. The trainers are very knowledgeable, personable, and not afraid to go out of their comfort zone to ensure you’re bettering yourself. People of all fitness levels are encouraged to partner together, and help each other perform. Swing by and see what it’s all about. I’ll be the big guy repping 405, eho still cannot run a mile haha.

Fantastic experience: I joined Black Ops about 6 months ago after spending years on my own at the YMCA and doing various other group classes. I had stopped seeing real results and was getting frustrated and bored, so I started looking for something new. I am so happy I joined! The owners and coaches are the most welcoming individuals and all the workouts, while challenging at times (in a good way), have the ability to be scaled to any level. Proper technique and form is taught in each class and although these are group classes, everyone gets some individualized attention. The other members are equally as welcoming and there is a strong sense of community. Within 6 months of joining I have seen significant improvement in my endurance and strength and am definitely seeing results in the mirror. I would strongly recommend this gym to all my friends and look forward to improving/growing even more in the months to come!

Fantastic experience: BlkOps fitness is the top gym in Delaware for sure. Between the owner/coaches/other members everyone is incredibly welcoming and supportive. Every workout can be scaled to your own personal fitness level but still leave you feeling and seeing the results! 5/5 stars without question

Fantastic experience: I can’t say enough great things about BlkOps! The coaches are friendly and knowledgeable. The environment is supportive and welcoming. The owner and head coach creates workouts that are challenging and varied, but also scalable. If you want to improve your strength, agility, endurance and flexibility, BlkOps is the gym for you.

Fantastic experience: Classes are fun, addicting, challenging, always different, and great for any level. Antonio and staff take a personal approach while keeping a great group atmosphere. Awesome gym and awesome people. Love the results!

Fantastic experience: Have been training with Antonio and the team at BlkOps for a few months now; have already improved my lifts significantly, lost some good weight, and have improved my technical proficiency. The workouts are all highly scalable, designed for athletes of all levels - highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: Hands down best gym I have ever been to!!!! Not only are the coaches incredibly knowledgable with years of experience but it is also such an amazing/fun/welcoming community. No matter what your goals are Antonio/Britt/Kelly and BlkOps can help you reach them.

Fantastic experience: I was in town visiting for 3 days and BlkOps let me join in on some afternoon training. I was made to feel welcome, like a part of the team, right away. Antonio's personal training experience really shines, as he works with every athlete differently. I left at the end of every hour completely exhausted yet energized. If you are looking for a well organized, clean, motivating organization that really cultivates a sense of community and accountability, this is the best choice. Thanks for letting me participate while I was here.

Fantastic experience: Great atmosphere with down to earth people. None of that big gym ego nonsense. Antonio breaks things down in a way that's easy to understand and simple solutions to integrating healthy changes to your lifestyle.

Fantastic experience: Antonio was awesome! in from out of town and needed a heck of workout to de-stress. This was perfect. Not for the faint of heart but also for newbies!

Fantastic experience: Antonio's class setting really helped me as someone new to lifting and conditioning. His workouts always challenge me to progress and gain confidence. Highly recommended.

Fantastic experience: Tried out BlkOps and was not disappointed! Antonio was super helpful in making me feel welcome and focused on making sure my form was correct rather than just throwing a bunch of weight at me to start. I can tell the community here is supportive and really focused on getting results for everyone. I would definitely recommend checking them out!

Fantastic experience: Blkops Fitness is a great overall experience. I never feel lost in the place someone always there to help you, the exact opposite of the big chain gyms. All different kinds of people and a large variation of ages. Skill level doesn't matter whether you are a gym vet or new to working out. Each exercise is taught and critiqued even if you know what you are doing, with the goal of making you better. In my opinion blkops fitness is a happy combination of power lifting and cross fit. I've been part of big chain guns like planet fitness and the Y as well as personal trainers and gyms like Titus and this is by far the best in all aspects.

Fantastic experience: I've recently joined BlckOps Fitness and I love it ! Antonio and the rest of the trainers have made me feel incredibly welcome. I moved from NY and used to do Crossfit there, and I'm excited to join such a tight knit community! I've really enjoyed the attention to detail, facility, and care for safety! :)

Fantastic experience: This fitness center is a gem. It has a great location and a great setup. Antonio is fantastic instructor that will help you reach your goals. I highly recommend this gym to everyone.

Fantastic experience: Blk Ops is the perfect place to make your fitness goals happen. No matter your level of fitness, Antonio and his team of great trainers meet you where you are and take you to where you want to be. No pressure. No shaming. Just making you better every day.

Fantastic experience: Great gym and community!! Come check it out for yourself!
