We are already offering many services by reservation including group fitness, lap swim, success coaching, personal training, pickleball and racquetball at our SwedishAmerican Riverfront YMCA. The Northeast Family YMCA will offer similar services beginning on June 26. The Puri Family YMCA will remain closed at this time. We are anticipating that “Phase 4” of the Governor’s Restore Illinois plan will happen on June 26. Phase 4 is when we can open our cardio and strength centers by reservation. 

Beginning on June 26, we will expand access for members at both the SwedishAmerican Riverfront and Northeast Family YMCAs. Both YMCAs will offer indoor group fitness, lap swim, cardio/strength center, personal training, pickleball and racquetball/track (SAY only) for active YMCA of Rock River Valley Members only. Swim lessons and stroke clinics start July 13.

If your membership is on hold, you can renew it, but no new memberships will be accepted until July 1.

All services require a reservation. Click here for information on class offerings, times and locations.

Pickleball is available on Court 3 at the SwedishAmerican Riverfront YMCA, and Racquetball is available on courts 4, 5 and 6. Courts 1 and 2 are reserved for our childcare programs. A maximum of 4 players per court will be allowed, and all players must be pre-registered for the time slot in order to access the building. There will be 45-minute time slots available from 9:15am-5:00pm. Players should clean the court before and after use. Players should wear masks coming to and from the court, but masks will not be required on the court. 

No. With guidance from our local Health Department, we are requiring that all members and staff wear a mask while entering/exiting the building, and while in common spaces. However, you will NOT be required to wear a mask while participating in vigorous exercise. Some machines will be closed in order to ensure six feet of social distance.

We will be implementing a variety of safety precautions as we open the Y, but every individual will have to make his or her own personal decision on what is safest and best for their family. We will do everything we can to keep our members and staff safe, and we ask that you commit to participate by cleaning equipment and always adhering to facility protocols. 

We are asking all YMCA staff, members, volunteers and participants to stay home when ill (and to remain home for 24 hours after symptoms have disappeared if the illness is flu-like or gastrointestinal). We rely on each individual to self-assess their symptoms and illness. In an effort to prevent individuals who are symptomatic or who have been exposed from entering our facility, we will ask health screening questions at check-in. In instances where symptoms are observed, Y staff and members will be sent home. 

Get to know your YMCA account information and become familiar with our website and mobile app. You will need them to be able to register for classes, lap lanes, personal training appointments and building access.
