Membership Information

Welcome to the new age at the Sarasota Family YMCA. We are much more than just a gym. Our facilities have state-of-the-art equipment and the latest craze in exercise classes, while offering so much more for our community. Parents take advantage of our free childcare services while they workout. Teens and school age children always have something to enjoy at our teen centers, sports programs, or summer camps. Our personal trainers are all trained and certified to assist members with all of their fitness needs.

We have a first-class aquatics center, newly opened Josephine Lofino Splash Park and a water playground and slide area at the Selby Aquatics Center.

Our gymnastics program is nationally known and our adult sports leagues, including basketball and racquetball are available at several locations within two counties.

When you join the Sarasota Family YMCA, you're getting much more than just a membership. You're gaining a community of friends and like-minded individuals whose goal is an all-around healthy lifestyle. We consider it our privilege to serve you as a member of the YMCA. We are committed to building strong kids, strong families, and strong communities by providing programs based on four basic character values - caring, honesty, respect, and responsibility.

For over 60 years, the Sarasota Family YMCA has contributed to the lives of thousands of boys and girls, and men and women of all ages, races, religions, and economic backgrounds. We are a not-for-profit organization with the unique opportunity of touching lives from infants through seniors.

Part of a worldwide movement in more than 130 countries, our mission is to put Judeo-Christian principles into practice through programs that build healthy spirit, mind and body for all. Through the years, lifestyles and family structures have changed and will continue to do so: our programs will always reflect the changing needs of the communities we serve.

Welcome to the Sarasota YMCA family!
