Our Y Stories

One of the greatest strengths of the YMCA of Greater Cleveland is the incredible variety of programs available to our members. From early childhood through older adulthood, and for every ability level, the Y offers opportunities to learn, grow, stay active and connect with others.

As a member of the YMCA of Greater Cleveland, you play an important role in helping our community grow. One of the easiest ways to share the Y experience is by inviting friends, family members or coworkers to visit through our guest pass program.

As the calendar turns toward a fresh year, one familiar pattern surfaces across the fitness world: January becomes the busiest month for gym enrolments. Recent industry data show that about 12% of all new health-club memberships are initiated in January. Some reports also show that many fitness centers see enrolments surge by 25-30% during January compared with other months. 

At the YMCA of Greater Cleveland, our commitment goes beyond physical fitness — we believe in supporting the whole person: spirit, mind and body. We begam offering this service at our Hillcrest Family YMCA and Warrensville Heights Family YMCA, and now we’re expanding to other branches.What We Offer
