The YMCA of Greater Toronto is a charity and many of our members make donations to support our work. These donations go towards our programs — from youth shelters to camp, leadership development, and more — and they help us bring those programs to more people by funding new YMCAs in new neighbourhoods. If you choose to give to the Y, you will receive a charitable tax receipt for your donation, but not for your membership fees.
Our group fitness classes vary in style, intensity and fitness goal but all of them are created to be accessible and inclusive. Options range from high intensity classes like TotalFit, Bootcamp and BodyFit to more restorative classes like Yoga.
