about the YMCA

YMCA OF THE CHESAPEAKE

Communities need a place where everyone is welcome and can come together as one, regardless of background or financial limitations. Last year, the YMCA of the Chesapeake provided more than $1,750,000 in assistance to 16,000-plus community members. No one was turned away due to the inability to pay.

The challenge

SERVING THE COMMUNITY

The YMCA has worked with Kent County to address the critical needs of an underserved community. The goal is to expand programming to help kids develop into healthy and well-rounded adults, encourage members to improve their health, create a sense of belonging, and support and care for vulnerable members of the community.

The Process

TRUSTED RELATIONSHIPS

The project was a partnership between the YMCA of Chesapeake, the non-profit Dixon Group and Life Fitness. A strong product depth and the ability to provide the tools for the intended goals of the facility provided value to the YMCA.

The Solution

BECOMING A COMMUNITY HUB

While the focus is on seniors and the deconditioned, the YMCA also has a SYNRGY180 functional group training space, areas for Olympic lifting, and a SYNRGY/multi-jungle. An indoor cycling room is outfitted with ICG exercise bikes. There has been a significant growth in membership and the facility has become a community hub.
