Missouri Valley Family YMCA

You Belong at the YMCA

The YMCA is much more than a fitness center – it’s a community. And the YMCA has something for every member of our community and every fitness level: kids, teens, adults, families and seniors. Gather with your friends, make new friends, grow with your family and let us give you great service.

AWAY—Always Welcome at YMCA's

Members of the Missouri Valley Family YMCA are welcome at YMCA’s nationwide, as part of the national A.W.A.Y. This offers members a chance to keep in touch with the YMCA and exercise when they travel. Please contact local YMCA's for any restrictions that may apply. YMCA members from other YMCA’s may use the Missouri Valley YMCA fourteen times per calendar year at no cost. After fourteen visits, a half price guest fee is charged.
