Why the Y

Feel the energy with your choice of FREE group exercise classes each week taught by professional instructors, included with membership. From HIIT Squad to Zumba to Yoga, we have classes for all ages and ability levels to help you have you reach your goals and make new friends while having a blast!

The Ridgewood YMCA has not 1, but 2 pools!  Indoor pools offer water fitness, lap swimming, swim lessons and more!

It’s easier for parents to get active at the Y with complimentary Stay & Play childcare. More than a babysitting service, Y team members provide learning experiences in a safe, fun environment. Stay & Play is open for children 2months – 11yrs. Family membership required. 8a-12:15 Monday-Friday.

Take advantage of valuable discounts across all of our programs offerings.

With programs like Twinkle Toes dance, active seniors’ exercise classes and everything in between, the Ridgewood YMCA offers a lifetime of activities for the entire family to enjoy. 

We offer customized financial assistance, to those who qualify, to make the Y affordable for all who want to become members. Learn more about our financial assistance programs.

As a nonprofit, the Y fills gaps and supports critical needs in ways that no other organization can, such as supporting youth development, improving health equity, distributing food to those in need, and more.  Learn more about the Y’s impact in the community.
