The YMCA’s Hour of Power For Families

Discover the YMCA’s Hour of Power.

A class for you. A class for them. At the same time.

For families, there never seems to be enough time in the day to do everything everyone wants to do. But now all you need is one hour at one place: the Y. Enjoy some “me” time with a fitness class for yourself and pencil in some “fun” time for them too as they learn a new skill or sport. We make it easy, by offering classes for parents and kids at the same time.

Why Families Love the YMCA’s Hour of Power

The YMCA Hour of Power is designed to simplify busy schedules while maximizing the value of your YMCA membership.

  • Save driving time and gas as it’s all in one location at the Y
  • Save money by paying a nominal class fee for your child
  • Maximize your Y membership to its fullest
  • Re-energize your fitness journey with new classes and instructors
  • Help your child learn a new skill like cooking or a new sport
  • Remove some stress from your busy day

It’s one stop. One hour. And one convenient way for the whole family to grow stronger together. Explore all our classes below or stop in at your local YMCA to learn more.
