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!

Cindy Phykitt is teaching Group Power and Yoga at the Johnston Y, this is what she has to say: "I began my journey teaching Group Exercise classes at the Johnston Y April 2014 and have taught classes at the Johnston, Simmons and Brace branches. I have my NASM CPT certification, Mossa Group Power Certification, RYT 200 Yoga Certification from Bella Vita Yoga and also a Certification as a Parkinson's Cycling Coach. I have taught Cycling, Yoga, Group Power and Strength classes. My passion outside of teaching classes is road cycling and mountain biking but I also love participating in half marathons and triathlons and I hope to complete my first full Ironman in 2021. The YMCA has been such an enriching part of mine and my family's life and I love getting to share that experience with other members. I look forward to providing a safe space to begin teaching again in 2021 and reconnecting with the members."
