Welcome to the Sarah Belk Gambrell Fitness Center!

The YWCA is your co-ed comfortable fitness center, and that’s more than just a tag line – it’s something we believe in.  We have a great community comprised of members from all walks of life and various fitness levels.  We offer competitive rates, a friendly staff, a safe and comfortable facility and knowledgeable instructors.

Please come and try the YWCA with a complimentary seven-day guest pass. Once you’ve visited, we believe that you’ll see that we are truly Charlotte’s comfortable fitness center.

Membership includes the use of our indoor heated swimming pool, cardio room, weight room, circuit room, tennis courts, outdoor fitness trail and all of our classes.  We offer exciting group exercise classes and aquatics classes for every fitness level including yoga, Pilates, Zumba, Kickboxing and chair aerobics.  We also offer swim instruction for children as well as adults.

In addition to membership, the YWCA offers one-on-one services that are available at a reduced rate for members. Industrial Strength offers personal training services, nutritional counseling, Pilates reformer training and aquatics personal training.
