Your health is our priority. The YMCA has significantly heightened its cleaning processes to help keep you safe.  As such YMCA hours of operation will vary by branch. Please check www.ymcadetroit.org or call your local YMCA.

All programs, classes, and special events have been postponed until further notice; exceptions will be one on one private lessons such as tennis, swimming and personal training.

We will continue sharing best practices as advised by the Center for Disease Control, CDC. An easy way to remember these proactive tasks is:

Cover, Clean and Contain.

  • Cover mouth and nose when coughing or sneezing
  • Clean: wash your hands using soap and water for a minimum of 20 seconds and use hand sanitizer with at least 60% alcohol content. Discard tissues etc. Clean all equipment before and after use
  • Contain: Stay home if sick

YMCA Proactive COVID-19 Prevention Operations

  • Upgraded cleaning solutions to EPA Registered Antimicrobial Product for Use Against  COVID-19
  • Disinfecting all surfaces nightly
  • Standardized cleaning checklist for all departments: Cleaning rotation every 60 minutes
  • Hand sanitizers in all facilities
  • Sending all staff home if ill
  • Requesting all members to stay home if ill

Please practice Cover, Clean and Contain. We will do our very best to keep you up to date on our operations as we make changes that align with the recommendations from the YMCA of the USA, our municipalities and the Center for Disease Control on a daily basis.
