The Athens YMCA has been a faithful part of the community since March 26, 1857. As former staff member Ben Fender said: the Athens YMCA is not a gym, it’s a GEM! We serve the Athens area through programs designed for youth development, healthy living and social responsibility. The Y is for the entire community, and is open to everyone. We are here to serve you, your family and all of our communities while developing your spirit, mind and body. Welcome to our Y!

We offer programs and services for all ages including youth programs, swim lessons, fitness classes and more. Stop by the Y and let us show you around!
