Why Choose the Premier Gym in Wilmington?
"Over a decade ago, I suffered from lower disc and hip injuries. The orthopedic specialist told me to never lift, run, or jump again – that my back was a lifetime issue. I was devastated, and a dark cloud of depression took over me. But then, I remembered, 'They don’t know who I am.'
I decided to take a different path. I created a fitness program that combined all my life experience, with core movements to rebuild my body the right way. I focused on lighter loads with the barbell to rebuild strength safely, and incorporated less risky movements that delivered the same great results.
Years later, this program has helped hundreds of athletes – because yes, you are designed to move, and you ARE an athlete – from all walks of life and experience levels to achieve their BEST VERSION of themselves.
At BlkOps, we don’t just run a gym; we create a community, a team, and a family. When you join us, you are entrusting us with your health, and we take that responsibility seriously.
Our promise to you is that we will never become complacent. We will push ourselves just as hard as we push you. Life isn’t easy, but it’s impossible if you give up on yourself."

Don't just take our word for it.
I’ve been doing this kind of fitness for about 8 years now. What I can tell you about BlkOps is that this place is different. From the moment you walk through those doors you’re met with friendly, knowledgeable, caring coaches/owners. You see people of all ages, shapes, skill levels conversing about the workout or making plans to hang out that weekend.
I don’t think I’ve ever been a part of a gym with a community like this one has. BUT that’s not all.
The workouts are challenging, yet approachable and the coaches offer plenty of scaling options. There’s a focus on longevity here, and I can honestly say that my fitness has never been better.
I love this place and couldn’t be happier with my decision to join this gym. It may seem intimidating to start something new, but I guarantee if you stick with it here you’ll find your best self.
Joining BlkOps has been one of the best decisions I have made. I was admittedly nervous about joining but was immediately welcomed by everyone from the owners to people who had only been members a few weeks. BlkOps is the first gym I have been to that is truly a judgement free zone regardless of prior experience or fitness level. If you’re thinking about joining and are nervous like I was, just give It a try and you will see that the community will gladly welcome you in.
Joined BlkOps in April of 2024 and have loved every second of it! Coaches are dedicated and invested in each athlete's success. Members are quick to welcome new comers, cheer you on, and encourage you when you need it most. Workouts challenge you daily and are easily scalable to what your needs may be that day or that month. The community at BlkOps is unmatched. From various parties to local competitions - the community shows up for each other day in and day out! SO happy to have found the best gym around!
BLKOPS is the best gym I’ve been to. I started 3 months ago and have seen significant changes in my body in reference to strength and weight loss.
It’s a true family at the gym. There are many different levels of athletes at the gym, from beginner to advanced. They also take the time to go over the class schedule and lift before each class starts. it’s great showing up and not having to think about what lift or what cardio you are going to do that day! Classes are challenging and rewarding
I started at Blk Ops about 4 months ago now, and it has to be one best decisions I have made for myself. Truthfully, it was intimidating going from a "home gym" and the YMCA to a gym like this. The entire team helped me from onboarding, day 1, signing up on the app for scheduling, and coaching me to better myself. The whole community wants to see you do better. What gym can you go to where you can not tell the difference between coaches and members? That is how invested not only the coaches are, but everyone else with you during the workouts.
The people here are successful in all aspects of their life and that is what I want to be around.
Lastly, the workouts and people will push you to your potential. It will be hard everyday, no doubt. But sometimes the heaviest thing at the gym is the front door.
