Our primary concern at the YMCA is safety and continuing to do our best in making sure we are providing a safe environment inside our facilities for you and your family. Despite the recent state proclamation, we will continue with current safety measures that have been in place in order to keep the health and safety of our members and staff of the utmost priority.
Group fitness classes will continue to be held safely in person at the Helen G. Nassif YMCA and Marion YMCA beginning November 23rd. The same safety precautions will continue to be in place for in person classes:
Locker room reopening does not yet apply to Stoney Point YMCA.
Lap lane reservations can be made by calling the Stoney Point YMCA (319) 390-3488 Monday – Friday: 6:00 AM – 4:00 PM
Beginning Monday, June 8th, in-person group exercise classes are available at our Helen G. Nassif YMCA and Marion YMCA! A limited schedule is available and we will also continue to offer our online fitness classes. Each in-person class will be limited in capacity as we begin, in order to maintain a safe distance between members when participating in our classes. Members need to reserve their spot for each in-person class as space is limited, and you can do this through our new mobile app and our website!
Reservations & classes are currently open to YMCA Members ONLY – no drop-ins are allowed at this stage.
Our new mobile app provides you with access to our locations’ schedules, allows you to make reservations for classes, receive real-time notifications and more! Download our new app by following the link below on your smart phone.
Please note: if you are prompted to enter find your health & wellness center, enter “Cedar Rapids” and you will be directed to our locations.
As we continue to move through our phased reopening plan, we will be offering pool access to members ONLY via reservation. Each lap lane is available to reserve each hour for a 45 minute time slot for lap swimming and water walking.
Reservations are available on the quarter of each hour within the modified pool operation hours (i.e. 6:15 AM – 7:00 AM, 7:15 AM – 8:00 AM…)
Since we were required to close on March 17th by state authorities, so many of you have continued your membership dues with our association and we can’t thank you enough! Over 85% of our members have chosen to stay with us during this time, and because of this we have been able to continue to serve our community and will be continuing to serve for many years to come!
Through your continued support, we have been able to continue to serve those in our area in multiple ways:
As we navigate through re-opening our YMCA facilities, our team continues to put the health and safety of our members and staff at the forefront of our decision making process. As we prepare, we want to make you aware of some changes to our facilities and expectations of our members moving forward.
We are respectful of CDC guidelines and mandates by Governor Reynolds. We will continue through Phase 2 of opening amenities for Helen G. Nassif YMCA and Marion YMCA on Monday, June 1st.
Members who are considered to be part of a vulnerable population are discouraged from entering our facilities. Additional facility and operational changes are outlined below.
We know everyone is ready to get back to some normalcy and visit the gym for your overall well-being as we slowly open parts of our YMCAs as safely as possible. We are thoroughly cleaning on a daily basis and will follow a strict cleaning schedule so we may continue to provide the safest environment for you and your family. We have also added sanitation stations and are requiring members to clean all equipment before AND after use.
As we continue to update you on our phased approach to reopening our facilities, we are continuing our online class offerings for you to continue to access safely at home.
Our YMCA instructors will be continuing to lead live online fitness classes each week via Zoom Meeting and our Facebook page. You can access each week’s online class schedule here, and tune in to our Facebook page for various live classes (@CRMetroYMCA).
There are additional free on-demand workouts that continue to be available to our members through various platforms such as Y360, SilverSneakers®, Les Mills, and more! See the complete list of additional on-demand resources here.
“We have always appreciated the Y. Just… everything about it. The customer service, and just everything everyone there does to make working out as enjoyable as possible. We are in… unique times, no doubt. But we are all in this together, and get to get through it together. I am just so happy to hear that by people continuing to pay their membership fees that it allowed you to pay your employees so they could keep working.”
