WELLNESS CENTER SHUTDOWN - DECEMBER 12 - 23

We are excited about the completion of the expansion and renovation project by the end of the year.  An unavoidable step toward completion includes a two-week shutdown period of the Wellness Center from December 12 - December 23.

 

During this time, all fitness equipment will be moved into the new area while the existing area gets prepared (painting, flooring, cabinetry, etc.)  We will expand our fitness class schedule during these two weeks to provide additional opportunities to stay healthy and fit.  

 

The Child Watch room will also complete renovations during this time.  Child Watch will be temporarily moved to the Multi-purpose room next to the current entrance.  The Child Watch hours will remain the same during this transition.

  

All YMCAs in our association including the Newport News Family YMCA, Hampton Family YMCA, and the Victory Family YMCA (Yorktown) are happy to serve you and your family's needs during this time.

 

We apologize for the inconvenience and greatly appreciate your patience during this exciting time.
