Following nine months of construction, the YMCA of Rock River Valley unveiled its new fitness center expansion at the SwedishAmerican Riverfront YMCA on July 8, 2024. The two-story, 9,000-square-foot addition doubles the size of the fitness center.

The center features mostly new equipment including 50 pieces of cardio equipment, a functional training space on turf - similar to what is available at the Northeast Family YMCA, additional plate-loaded items, and squat racks with bumper plates and platforms.

Additionally, the Y is proud to be the first fitness center in the region to introduce EGYM, a comprehensive training option that takes the guesswork out of exercise. EGYM smart circuit machines automatically adjust to the user’s custom settings for weight, range of motion and cardiovascular exercise. Users are guided through a full-body workout in as little as 20 minutes. Click here to learn more about EGYM.
