More than a Gym

Everyday we work side-by-side with our neighbors to make sure that everyone, regardless of age, income, ability or background has the opportunity to learn, grow and thrive. Since 1868, the Cedar Rapids Metro YMCA has contributed to the lives of hundreds of thousands of boys and girls, and men and women of all ages, races, religions and economic backgrounds.

The Y is the nation’s leading nonprofit committed to strengthening communities through youth development, healthy living and social responsibility. The Y is, and always has been dedicated to building healthy, confident, connected and secure children, adults, families and communities. Every day our impact is felt when an individual makes a healthy choice, when a mentor inspires a child and when a community comes together for a common good.

YMCA General Age Requirements

The YMCA’s age requirements have been developed with safety and the core values of Caring, Honesty, Respect and Responsibility in mind.

The Y is a place for everyone…this especially includes kids. As such, the YMCA reserves the right to make adjustments as needed and to determine what “responsible” behaviors are for supervisors of young children. For example, it would not be responsible to allow young children unsupervised access to a fitness area (such as an area with treadmills or other equipment).

  • Children must be at least 10 years old and older to be in the building without the direct supervision of a parent or a responsible person of at least 14 years of age. Children must be 12 years or older to use the YMCA at Mercy Health Plaza.
  • Children ages 6 – 9 must either be under the direct supervision of a parent or a responsible person of at least 14 years of age OR be enrolled and participating in a YMCA program at that time.
  • Guests and those under the age of 18 not admitted to the pool and fitness area Monday – Friday, 11:30 a.m. -1:00 p.m. at the Helen G Nassif YMCA only.
  • Children ages 5 years and younger must be accompanied by and constantly supervised by an adult of at least 18 years of age OR be enrolled in and participating in a YMCA program.
