Gallery Place Fitness and Aquatics Center
About the YWCA Gallery Place Fitness and Aquatics Center:
Healthy lifestyles for women and their families has always been integral to the YWCA's mission, and today,
we offer a vast array of health and wellness related programs for all ages. On any given day,
our co-ed Gallery Place Fitness Center is a beehive of fitness activity-seniors are soothing sore joints,
triathletes are training for their next event, and yogis are centering their chi.
In fact, our Gallery Place Center has earned a reputation for being one of the D.C. area's most comprehensive,
well-staffed health and wellness facilities. If you would like to become a member of the YWCA Gallery Place Fitness

The YWCA believes fitness centers should be available to the entire community, however, very few offer rates that are
affordable to everyone. Fitness centers are usually considered a luxary. In today's world, they are quickly becoming a
necessity. The growing obesity rate among Americans is a known health risk. Communities must educate
citizens about what it means and what it takes to live a healthy lifestyle. At the YWCA Galler Place Fitness
Center we are working towards providing membership rates that are affordable to low-income individuals and offering
a top quality health and wellness facility. To combat the increase in obesity, we would also like to empower the whole family
to workout together with exercise programs tailored to mom, dad, and the kids.

dream become a reality make a donation to the YWCA Family Fitness program today.
