Membership at the Albany YMCA
What sets the YMCA apart from all other fitness facilities?
Rather than using the term “fitness facility” we are much more than that; we are a “Wellness Center” and we focus on developing spirit mind and body to accomplish total wellness, not simply physical attributes.
We have friendly and knowledgeable staff that follows the mission of the YMCA: To put Christian principles into practice through programs that build healthy spirit, mind and body for all. We focus on four Christian principles which are our core values: Caring, Honesty, Respect, and Responsibility!
We are a non-profit organization which raises funds through our annual “Reach Out For Youth” campaign so that we can scholarship individuals and families who need assistance - we turn no one away for their inability to pay!
We do not require anyone to sign a contract farther out than 30 days. We also have a “membership freeze” you can take advantage of at any point in your membership. Also, we uphold the philosophy of 100% satisfaction guaranteed or your money back!
The Albany YMCA is located in the heart of Albany just one block from the beautiful Historic Washington Park. The Albany YMCA is a friendly full service facility designed to meet your health and wellness needs. We offer personal training, swimming, basketball, racquetball and other quality wellness programs. Our courteous and friendly staff is committed to member satisfaction.
