Welcome to the Johnston YMCA
Founded in 1948, the Johnston YMCA is often referred to as “the Heart of NoDa.” Our branch reflects the eclectic nature of our community and the over 4,000 members that we serve.
Through a warm, welcoming environment, we provide health and wellness initiatives that help build mind, body and spirit for all. The Johnston YMCA also engages our community by inviting members and non-members to enjoy events together on our front lawn. Check out the Johnston YMCA class schedule and hours for classes near you!

We know that y’all know this guy…
Ricky is the best. THE BEST! He is an incredible swim instructor, coach and lifeguard, an encourager, a go-getter, and one of the most genuine people you’ll ever meet.
He also happened to be our ROSE Award winner for the last quarter, which stands for Recognition of Service Excellence.
Let’s hear the shout outs for Ricky!

May is Mental Health Awareness Month. 🧠💭 At the Y, we strive to strengthen community in spirit, mind & body. A vital component to building strong communities, families & individuals is to support mental health & wellness.
Take time this month to consider what you need to support your mental health. Small actions like incorporating regular self-care, physical activity, technology-free time, & connecting with loved ones can go a long way in supporting overall well-being.
The best of the best, right here.
We are so grateful for their hard work, compassion, and heart.
