YMCA recreation centres build healthy communities. Come for a splash with the family, hit the gym, swim laps or simply shoot some hoops. Your local YMCA membership is your all-access pass to health, fitness, sport and family fun – there's something for everyone!
We help our members live healthy, active lifestyles. Learn how we're so much more than just a local gym:
Gym, Swim and Play
A YMCA membership is your all access pass to health, fitness, sport and family fun. Come for a splash with family, hit the gym, swim laps or simply shoot some hoops. Enjoy a holistic approach to your wellness, keeping you engaged and fit while having fun!
Customer Friendly
We want you to keep coming back because you want to – not because you're locked into a contract! You choose a level of commitment you’re comfortable with; drop-in casually, purchase a visit pass or sign up for a membership. If you do opt to become a member, sleep easy with simple and transparent cancellation and suspension options. We also have great discounts for older adults, youth, concession card holders, or if you join with a mate.
As an added bonus, every Friday, All Access members can bring along a friend, spouse or colleague to enjoy all that we have to offer – free of charge!
All Ages & Abilities
We have dedicated memberships for youth (Active Youth 13Y-15Y) and older adults (Active Adults 60Y+). We also proudly offer free child memberships to our current members – an industry first. The YMCA are also leaders in delivering inclusive, NDIS claimable recreational opportunities (LEAP).
Active living isn’t just about hitting the gym. It’s about prioritising physical activity and finding activities that you want to do, rather than something you should do. From swimming to group fitness, to stadium and court sports fun, your local Y has you covered.
The YMCA manages South Australia's largest and best recreation and leisure centres. Each centre has unique set of amenities including gym/fitness centre, group fitness (including Aqua and Les Mills), pools, spa and steam rooms, stadium courts, change rooms and cafe.
NEW: Your All Access YMCA membership now allows you to use all YMCA South Australia managed facilities while traveling, as well as an opportunity to complement your existing centre experience with something new.
Sports
Sport is a great way to keep physical activity fun. Your local YMCA hosts a range of social sporting leagues, ladders and programs based on the centres amenities and community demand. Social sport programs include activities such as netball, soccer, badminton, roller skating, squash, gymnastics, martial arts, swimming lessons and swimming clubs.
Member Programs & Events
We create community and results with member programs such as boot camps, weight loss challenges and member social events.
Personal Training
YMCA Personal Training is a results-based program tailored to your individual needs. Our qualified personal trainers cater for beginners and the ‘not-so-fit’ right through to elite athletes.
Exercise Physiology
Accredited Exercise Physiologists are the experts in prescribing the right exercise to help you prevent and manage your chronic disease, help you recover faster from surgery or an injury or help you maintain a healthy lifestyle.
Community Programs
We have partnered with Alexandrina Council to continue the delivery of community exercise programs in Strathalbyn and Goolwa in 2021. The collaboration is aimed at growing existing programs, with the YMCA committed to ensuring that community exercise programs continue to provide physical and mental wellbeing benefits to all of the Alexandrina community.
Made for families – no cost child minding, free child memberships, and on-site swimming lessons and youth programs.
Complimentary child minding in the YMCA KidsClub allows you to focus on your workout. Aimed at kids 6 weeks to 5 years, KidsClub provides a safe, fun and engaging environment for your little ones.
Pools = family fun. Drop the kids off at KidsClub for some ‘you’ time, then have a dip in the pool for some family time. Many of our sites now offer free child memberships to members, along with great incentives to participate in swimming lessons, school holiday programs, and a range of other programming opportunities.
We’ll make you feel welcome and keep you on track towards your goals.
This is where we shine in comparison to many other gym providers. As a full-service provider, our staff play an active role in delivering wellness. This means complimentary gym inductions, setting up personalised workout programs to your goals, industry-leading group fitness, and general staff access to ad-hoc training questions and technique cues.
With the YMCA you can start your fitness journey with confidence, support and a clear path to achieving results.
