Workplace Wellness helps employees live well and excel.
Helping your employees become healthier and stronger in body, mind and spirit is our focus and passion at the Y. We do more than provide membership cards – we become your strategic partner in helping your employees achieve and maintain good health.
The YMCA is Your Partner in Good Health
Building a healthy, energetic workforce takes more than giving employees access to a gym. The Y offers your employees integrated health services, from first-class gym facilities and swimming pools to workshops and educational classes in heart disease, diabetes, weight management, and other health and lifestyle challenges. Our knowledgeable, supportive staff not only help members reach their goals, but also helps them connect with the community to help others. We encourage each employee’s family to get involved by offering a variety of membership options.
Corporate Membership Benefits
When employees belong to the Y, they can enjoy everything the Y has to offer, including:
Access to all Y Facilities in Metro Detroit
Your Y membership allows you and your family members access to all 10 membership branches of the Detroit association. Enjoy convenient programs and facilities close to home and work.
Wellness Center and Group Exercise Programs
Group exercise classes are a great way to get in shape and make new friends. Many group exercise and sports classes are included in your membership. Attend as many classes each week as you like and design a fitness schedule that works for you. Classes take place on land and in the pool (where pools are available). We post our Group Exercise Schedule on the website to help you plan your activities.

Members always pay a reduced fee for any paid programs that are open to non-members.
