healthy living

When you join the Y you’re joining far more than a place to work out. You are coming together with men, women and children from the Hammond area who are committed to youth development, healthy living and social responsibility. We’re here beside you every day.

youth

When children and teens are involved at the Y they don't just learn sports - they build confidence, form friendships and learn core values.

community

We want to be more than a destination - we want to be an active member of our community. All year long we offer programs that are open to everyone - not just members. We are your Y.

"Biggest Improver"

The Hammond Branch YMCA is starting a new program called the "Biggest Improver". This program has been designed to motivate everyone out there to improve their overall physical fitness. The program consists of five categories that include: body weight, body fat percentage, strength, endurance and flexibility. Each participant will do a "pre-test" in these five categories. Then, after a three month period participants will do a "post-test" and see how much they improve! The participants with the greatest improvements will win their division. This program is free to Hammond YMCA members!

Please see Fitness Center Staff for more info and details.

Divisions:

Individual Male
Individual Female
Team Male
Team Female
Team Co-Ed
