FITNESS AT THE Y

Exercise is the first step to healthy living. Here at the Y, we understand getting regular exercise can be tough, especially with all the demands of work, kids, and life. At the YMCA of Greater Omaha, we offer a number of ways to include exercise into your regular schedule, allowing you to come in, get fit, have fun, and go back to your busy day.

At the Y, you can try out a group exercise class (free to members!) or dive into the pool for an aquatics class. Our personal trainers can get you on the right track with one-on-one or small group sessions. Our active older adults find community both in the gym and through social events. The family can shoot hoops at open gym. And YMCA members can bring their kids in for free Childwatch while you work out (Please note: Child must be a YMCA member as well).
