Bob Hayward YMCA

We're a gym - and so much more! When you join the Bob Hayward YMCA, you are joining a charity that supports healthy kids, families, and communities. It's our mission to help people grow STRONG - in body, mind and spirit. The Y offers diverse programs, an inclusive environment that's accessible to everyone (thanks to our financial assistance program), qualified staff and volunteers to help you reach your goals, and YThrive; a FREE fitness coaching program. When you belong to a supportive community, there are no limits to what you can achieve. Be a part of our community today. You BELONG at the Y!

Y Story - Setting the Stage

"With the Y, I am setting a pattern for my kids to include physical activity in their lifestyle. The scheduling works for our family and the kids are always excited to come. Every one of my boys gets in a good mood when I say we are going to the Y! It pretty much saves my sanity.

Why I go? It was really important for me after having my kids to get back to my ‘pre-kid’ weight. Also, it felt good going to the classes and getting my confidence back. I see us being members forever."
