What are the benefits of a YMCA membership?


The benefits of a YMCA membership go far beyond just a gym pass. At the Lafayette Family YMCA, members gain access to a full range of programs and facilities—including fitness classes, swim lessons, sports programs, virtual fitness options, indoor swimming facilities, and so much more—all under one roof!
Group Fitness Classes
Our group fitness classes offer a fun, energizing way to stay active alongside others who share your goals. From high-intensity cardio sessions to calming yoga and everything in between, there's a class for every fitness level. Led by certified instructors, these classes keep you motivated, accountable, and coming back for more.
Plus, they’re scheduled at different times throughout the week, so you can always find a class to participate in regardless of your schedule. Best of all, group fitness is included with your membership!
Premium Workout Equipment
To enhance your fitness journey, the Lafayette Family YMCA is proud to offer premium Matrix and Les Mills equipment designed to take your workouts to the next level. Members can enjoy:
- State-of-the-art treadmills that are perfect for walkers and runners of all levels.
- Performance plus treadmills that are ideal for advanced training and higher-intensity workouts.
- Interactive bikes for an engaging cycling experience.
- Additional cardio equipment for even more ways to challenge yourself and reach your goals.
- Quality barbells and free weights of ranging size for the perfect strength-building workout.
This top-of-the-line equipment gives you the tools you need to stay motivated, track your progress, and achieve your health and fitness objectives with confidence.
Childcare While You Work Out
We completely understand that one of the biggest hurdles for parents when it comes to working out is who is watching their child. At Kids Zone, qualified YMCA childcare staff will watch your little ones for up to 2 hours while you enjoy a group fitness class, a run around the track, and more!
While our personal trainers, friendly staff, and state-of-the-art facility help you stick to your fitness goals, your kids will enjoy a variety of activities in a safe, fun environment. With the help of Kids Zone, your kids will love their time at the Lafayette Family YMCA just as much as you do.
Two Convenient Locations
With a membership to the Lafayette Family YMCA, you have access to two convenient locations that make it even easier to stay active and connected to the community! Members can enjoy the facilities at both the Downtown and Creasy Lane locations.
Whether you prefer to work out close to home, near work, or simply want to visit a different facility for a change of scenery, your membership gives you options. Both locations offer a wide range of programs, equipment, and amenities designed to support individuals and families on their wellness journeys.
Indoor Swimming Pool, Hot Tub, & Sauna
Speaking of water, our indoor aquatics center is open year-round! Lap swimmers will love the well-maintained lanes for a low-impact, full-body workout, while those looking to relax and recover can unwind in the hot tub or sauna. Families can enjoy recreational swim time together, including an indoor water slide!
Virtual Fitness Options
Life gets busy, but your health doesn't have to take a back seat. With YMCA360, members gain access to an extensive library of online on-demand fitness content, allowing you to work out on your own schedule, from anywhere.
From squeezing in a morning stretch before work to following a full workout routine from home, YMCA360 keeps you connected to your fitness goals even when you can't make it to the gym in person.
Family & Youth Programs
The Y is more than just a gym. We offer family and youth programs designed to bring loved ones together through new experiences. Get the family together for a night of cooking or seasonal fun, or help your little one explore new interests through programs like Junior Lifters!
Plus, these programs change throughout the year, so there’s always something new to try!
Members also receive discounts on popular programs, including swim lessons, dance classes, sports programs, and summer camps! These activities give kids and families the chance to build new skills, stay active, and make lasting memories in a fun, supportive environment. Whether your child is learning to swim, discovering a love for dance, playing ball with a new team, or enjoying a summer camp filled with adventure, these programs help keep the whole family engaged!
Ready to join the YMCA? Whether you're a first-time member or returning to the Y after some time away, you'll find that our doors are open to everyone. No matter your age, fitness level, or budget, there's a program here that was made with you in mind!
