Friends and neighbors across the greater Charlotte region are members of our YMCA for many reasons.  Here are just a few of the benefits of membership:
 
Quality Child Care
Members receive special rates on Afterschool, day camp and other programs for children.  We also provide quality child care while you’re working out or participating in other YMCA activities.
 
Swimming and Water Activities
Many of our facilities have year-round indoor pools and outdoor seasonal pools.  There’s time for recreational swim and water aerobic activities.  Certified lifeguards staff our pools, and our swim lessons are taught by trained instructors.
 
Wellness and Fitness Classes
With your membership, you can choose from hundreds of exercise classes geared toward the beginner to the fitness enthusiast.  Our YMCAs offer traditional aerobics, sculpt, yoga, pilates, cycle and many other group exercise classes all taught in a fun, welcoming environment.
 
Health Screenings
Through our partnership with Carolinas HealthCare System, we provide a range of health services including blood pressure checks, cholesterol screenings and flu shots.  Visit a CMC Health Center in your YMCA for more information.
 
Strength and Cardio Equipment 
Each YMCA has a variety of strength and cardio equipment for members.  Whether you prefer running on a treadmill, cycling beside a friend, reading while on an elliptical trainer, lifting free weights or using strength training equipment, you can do it at the YMCA.
 
Fitness Assessments and Personal Training
Our health and wellness staff, along with certified personal trainers, are available to help you design a fitness program that meets your individual needs.  

Inclusivity
Our YMCA is a membership organization open to all people.  The YMCA welcomes women and men, girls and boys of all ages, races, ethnicities, religions, abilities and financial circumstances.  Programs and branches embrace diversity, reflecting the needs and composition of the communities they serve.
