Tri Valley YMCA sits in Fleetwood and is one of five locations in the YMCA of Reading & Berks County association, alongside Adamstown, Mifflin, Reading, and Sinking Spring. One membership carries association-wide access.

Members talk about how clean and well equipped the gym is, and how it is usually not that busy, which means less waiting on machines. The staff get credit for being friendly and accommodating, and check in tends to be quick. Everyone gets their own cleanup bottle, and hand sanitizer stations are easy to find.

Membership covers the fitness floor, group exercise classes, and a free fitness orientation. Aerobics instructors lead Zumba, kickboxing, and circuit training, and the youth side includes after school care, summer camps, and youth sports. Swimming, lap swim, and swim lessons are at the Reading Y. Day passes are $13 for adults and $8 for youth.

The Y is in Fleetwood, and the membership rates are published on their website at ymcarbc.org. You can also request a private tour through the site. Financial help is available through their Open Door Scholarship Program.
