At the Robert D. Fowler YMCA, a facility membership offers the ultimate in benefits.  For starters, there’s the free wellness orientation where new members meet with a coach for an in-depth look at equipment and classes. After discussing interests and fitness goals, an exercise plan is devised to help you reach your goals.

If you need help staying on track, turn to the free FitLinxx system. This state-of-the-art technology records the number of sets and repetitions you complete, how much weight you’re lifting, and makes sure you’re using each machine correctly.

Each Y member you talk with will have their own favorite activities: running or walking on the indoor track; swimming; playing Pickle Ball; taking a digital bike ride through the Mountains; attending group exercise classes like Body Pump, Yoga, Tai Chi, Group Cycling, Zumba, Step, Kickboxing, Water Aerobics, Pilates, and more.

And while you are working out, your kids can be having fun with friends in the Y's free Play Center for ages 3 months to 5 years and Kool Kids ages 6 to 10 years. Activities kids enjoy include active play, games, create art projects and enjoying the outdoors. Kids may participate for up to two hours per day, while their parents are at the Y. The YMCA also has a teen center where teens can play games, shoot pool, and hang out with friends.

A Y membership allows full access to any of the metro Atlanta YMCA branches. We are also part of the AWAY program (Always Welcome at a Y) which gives members access to Ys across the country and around the world.

Each branch offers something a little different, so just think of the possibilities!
