About Us   YMCA Mission Statement   Building Hours



YMCA Members and Potential Members,

The New Year brings many new programs. Your YMCA is just the place to help you with your health, fitness and life goals in 2010. We exist to help develop the spirit, mind and body of all who choose to participate with us. Why not take advantage of all we have to offer.

With the New Year, we have some exciting changes. Included with your membership are all fitness classes. If you have never tried a Pilates or Group Cycling or any other type of class, now is the chance. Check out the newest class - Body Pump. We have also included recreational racquetball, handball, and tennis in your mem- bership rates as well. Your membership continues to increase in value.

Thank you so much for choosing to belong to the YMCA. We know you have many places to spend your hard earned money. Please let us know if there is anything we can do to improve our service to you. Happy New Year!

Y… It’s not a question, it’s the answer.
