Group Exercise and Personal Training

Making the decision to join a gym is a first step toward improving your health and life. 

At the YWCA, we believe that whatever change you want to make- losing weight, toning up, gaining confidence- you can do it.  With the right motivation and the right plan, you can meet your goals…and we can help.

Our multi-faceted fitness program offers something for everyone, and programs are offered in-person.

The YWCA is a place to build community, feel safe, and find support no matter what program you are interested in. We accept all, no matter what race, gender or religious denomination you are.
