The YMCA of Greensboro is more than a network of branches. We bring free fitness classes directly into the community. Our programs go beyond the walls of our facilities to offer free outdoor fitness classes, group exercise, and community wellness programs in local parks and gathering spaces across Guilford and Rockingham Counties.

By meeting people where they are, we make free workout classes and beginner-friendly fitness opportunities accessible to families, adults, and older adults alike. Our vision is to build a stronger, healthier community where equitable access to fitness and wellness is the norm for everyone in Greensboro and beyond.

All classes are free and open to the public.

Your Gift Powers Free YMCA Fitness Classes

Y in the Community is made possible through gifts to the YMCA of Greensboro’s Annual Giving Campaign. Because of donor generosity, these fitness events remain free and open to the public, removing financial barriers so everyone can move, connect and grow stronger together.

Every donation helps the Y expand access to wellness programming across Guilford County and Rockingham County, bringing the Y beyond our walls and deeper into the neighborhoods we serve. Your generosity fuels community impact and ensures this work continues to grow.
