Why Choose the YMCA?
The YMCA isn’t your typical gym. Not only do our locations offer fitness centers with first-rate amenities, but the Y takes the next step, serving as a family-friendly community center too. Unlike your standard gym, we are a non-profit cause-driven organization, committed to strengthening communities. We achieve this through camps, afterschool programs, substance abuse treatment, and more.
The Hillcrest Family YMCA offers an indoor swimming pool with swim lessons, child watch, fitness center, and so much more. Interested in becoming a member? Join today!

Master a Traditional Chinese Marial Art
Praying Mantis Kung Fu (Tanglangquan) is a traditional Chinese martial art known for its efficient hand techniques, coordinated footwork, and practical self-defense principles. Rather than relying on high kicks or brute strength, Praying Mantis emphasizes timing, precision, balance, and whole-body movement.
At the YMCA, Praying Mantis Kung Fu is taught in a safe, non-competitive format that allows students to progress at their own pace while building lifelong skills. Our Praying Mantis Kung Fu program offers a low-impact, beginner-friendly approach to martial arts that improves mobility, coordination, focus, and overall fitness—without the high-impact demands of many modern combat sports.
