Turner Wellness Project
Thank you to our dear members, staff, and donors for your continued support and patronage of our YMCA. At The Y, we value our people and care for your well-being. In an effort to give you the best wellness experience as possible, our YMCA is undergoing a half-million dollar Wellness Upgrade Campaign. This capital improvement project is made possible through the generosity of our donors. With your support, we can ensure more areas of our YMCA are given the care and special attention that we deserve.

Projects already completed
New Pool Heater, Improved Lighting & Entry/Exit Stairs
With funding support from the Miller Mildred Fort Foundation, our YMCA has replaced a 20 year old pool heater with a brand new, energy efficient unit. New stairs enable our youngest, oldest, and most adaptive to easily enter and exit our pool more safely. Replacing the ceiling lights with LEDs gives us a safer pool environment. LED lights are brighter, enabling lifeguards and water watchers to better supervise the pool while also reducing our utility costs.
Did you know we taught over 700 children Swim Lessons in 2025? Or that we offer 9 Aqua Aerobics classes weekly?
Our indoor, 8-lane pool serves as a water recreation and therapeutic, and spiritual place for all.
Group Exercise Equipment
We have replaced our older crumbling workout equipment with new weights, mats, and accessories. Group Exercise has long been a place where friendships are fostered through accountability and a labor of love. Our WORLD-CLASS instructors lead choreographed exercises using safe technique for a full-body movement. As workout trends and science changes, we need to ensure we're keeping up with the best technology and equipment to meet your body's needs while exceeding your expectation.
Did you know we offer over 65 classes per week? From chair aerobics, to weight based, from cycling to dance, from the pool to yoga, we have a class for everyone.
