Welcome to the Childress Klein YMCA
In 1989, the Childress Klein YMCA opened its doors to the community in uptown Charlotte. We serve over 7,500 people each year and offer our members high-quality service, personal attention, customized class schedules and top-of-the-line fitness facilities. The Childress Klein YMCA is an adult-only branch and welcomes members 16 year of age or older.
We’re more than a gym; beyond fitness, we engage the community by fostering connection among YMCA members and offering ways to give back. We are especially proud of our branches support of the Y Readers program helping students read proficiently.

🦃 Happy Thanksgiving, Charlotte! 🍁
We’re Grateful today and every day for our incredible community. Thank you for trusting the YMCA to strengthen our bonds, enrich lives, and build a stronger, healthier future together. Wishing you all a day filled with love, joy, and gratitude.
The YMCA of Greater Charlotte encourages our community to take the opportunity to reflect during #NativeAmericanHeritageMonth. What do you think of when you hear the term “Native American?”
Many traditional stereotypes and biases are unknowingly hurtful, disrespectful and inaccurate. Take the first step by recognizing and reflecting – then visit siouxymca.org/resources for videos and resources by Native American individuals and communities on this topic.
In honor of #NativeAmericanHeritageMonth, we encourage our community to learn about the contributions, achievements and struggles of Native Americans through their own words.
Visit nativeamericanheritagemonth.gov for resources featuring the work and viewpoints of Native American individuals and communities.
