What’s Next

The Valley Shore YMCA is embarking on a transformative journey to reimagine the facility to continue to serve our community’s changing needs. The What’s Next campaign supports six exciting projects designed to improve accessibility, and community wellness for all ages and abilities.

Adult Locker Rooms

Our newly renovated adult locker rooms will prioritize privacy, safety, and accessibility, meeting the highest ADA standards. By providing modern, accesible spaces, we enhance the YMCA experience for our 10,167 local households, including the 22% with residents who have disabilities.

Sports Performance Center

Athletes of all ages and all abilities deserve a place to train, grow, and achieve. The Sports Performance Center will be a first-class facility supporting everyone from weekend warriors to Special Olympians, elevating wellness and athletic excellence in our community.

Spin Studio

Cycling enthusiasts can rejoice! Whether you’re looking for high-energy spin classes or a dedicated space for triathletes, our new Spin Studio and Cycle Center will deliver world-class experiences. With advanced equipment and programs, you’ll find your rhythm and your community here.

Childcare Center

Families with young children need reliable support, and our new Early Childcare Center answers the call. This space is tailored to meet the demands of working families while feeding into our beloved preschool and aftercare programs, ensuring a strong foundation for future generations.

Community Room

Imagine a hub where local organizations gather to host events, speaker series educate neighbors, and friendships are formed. Our flexible Community Room will foster a sense of togetherness and provide a space for shared growth and connection.

The Navigator Endowment Society ensures the continued impact of the Valley Shore YMCA for generations to come. Contributions directly sustain the programs and services that make the Y a vital resource for all ages and abilities.

Brady Wellness Center & Lobby Renovation

In 2022, the Valley Shore YMCA celebrated

the grand opening of the Brady Wellness Center, a state-of-the-art fitness space designed to foster a welcoming environment for people of all ages and fitness levels. This project also included a full renovation of the lobby, creating a more open and inviting entrance for members and guests. The campaign, which began in 2015, was driven by the generosity of the community, including lead donor Bob Brady, whose matching gift challenge helped make this vision a reality. Despite the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic, the YMCA remained committed to completing this project, reinforcing our mission of promoting health and wellness for all​.

Family-Friendly Locker Room

The Valley Shore YMCA proudly unveiled its Family-Friendly Locker Room in 2024, a modern

facility designed to enhance accessibility, safety, and convenience for families and individuals. This space provides a private and inclusive environment for families—who make up one-third of the Y’s membership—while also supporting key programs such as swim lessons, summer camps, and the Marlins Swim Team. This milestone was the result of years of planning and community support, dating back to the YMCA’s 2017 capital campaign. Thanks to the dedication of our donors, volunteers, and partners, this project strengthens our commitment to providing a welcoming experience for all members​.

At the Valley Shore YMCA, we are committed to improving our facility to ensure a safe, welcoming, and high-quality space for our members and the community. Over the past few years, we began to reinvest in critical infrastructure projects to enhance our spaces, improve energy efficiency, and ensure the longevity of our facility. Through these facility improvements, we are reinforcing our commitment to serving the shoreline community with a high-quality, well-maintained, and safe YMCA. Thank you to our donors, members, and partners for making these essential projects possible!
