Class Review: YMCA Club circuits

30 Oct 2017
Last updated on 1 Jun 2023

As the largest health and fitness facility in central London, YMCA Club claim to boast more choice, more variety, more of what you’d expect and more of what you wouldn’t.

They offer a 25m swimming pool, a sauna, steam rooms, a meditation room, 7 in-house sports clubs, regular events and evening workshops, and a whopping 125 weekly classesthat run across multiple exercise studios.

What’s really great is that as a part of Central YMCA, the world’s founding YMCA and the UK’s leading health, fitness and education charity, you really feel a part of a global community and movement for a healthy body, mind and spirit.
