“Our YMCA is constantly studying ways to expand services for individuals throughout Champaign County. We’ve studied other Y’s 24-hour access operations for several months” said Paul Waldsmith, CEO. “Being able to offer fitness center and gym time around the clock will be a huge benefit to a lot of our members, particularly those who work second and third shifts.”
A special key fob that will provide access to the YMCA after hours will be available for purchase at the Welcome Center starting Thursday, Sept. 9.
As a reminder, the YMCA will be closed from Aug. 29 through Sept. 6 for annual maintenance, the release stated. Staff will deep clean the building, including draining and scrubbing the pool.
During this time, all daycare classrooms will remain open regular hours.
