Welcome to the Hammond Area YMCA
The Hammond Area YMCA strengthens the foundations of our community through well-being and fitness, camps, family time, swim, sports and play, and other activities for people of all ages, incomes and abilities. We’re more than just a place to work out. At the Y, we help build a healthy spirit, mind and body for all with the core values of caring, honesty, respect and responsibility at the heart of everything we do.
Why Join The Y?
Many people think of the Y and think of a gym, but we’re far more than that. We are a resource for healthy families. We are a teacher of youth sports. We are a stress relief at the end of a long day. We are an inspiration, a monitor of health and a place where you’ll make true friends.
Yes, we offer lots of physical exercise but you’ll find much more behind our doors. You don’t just join the Y – you belong here.
