YMCA: Getting Active

The YMCA supports people to develop into healthy, confident individuals.

We are the largest voluntary sector organisation in England providing services that promote personal health and fitness, helping children, young people and communities lead healthy, active lives.

We provide flexible and creative physical activity opportunities for all that are not just limited to sports and fitness facilities. From providing opportunities for competitive and informal sport, to running activity sessions with YMCA residents, we strive to improve the health and wellbeing of individuals through a holistic approach.

In addition, every year over half a million people access group exercise programmes at YMCAs. Our facilities are renowned for being friendly, non-intimidating and are accessible and inclusive for people of all ages and skill levels. We offer a wide range of activities, such as exercise classes, sports teams, rehabilitative and other special care.

We also work with young people on a range of health issues such as healthy eating, sexual and reproductive health and drugs and alcohol counselling.
