YMCA Gym

Not-for-profit gym in Nottingham. Fully equipped gym over four floors, weights area, fitness classes & CrossFit. No contract, no joining fee!

We are a not-for-profit gym which means when you’re working out with us you’re also giving back to others because a YMCA gym membership helps support programmes and services for vulnerable adults and children in Nottingham and across the county. Whether your exercise routine includes pounding the treadmill, climbing our ropes or lifting weights, feel good knowing you’re benefitting physically and mentally and others are too.

Whatever your personal goals. becoming a member of our diverse gym community is easy and rewarding. If you are not sure, there are also plenty of ways of trying us out – just check out our membership packages or enquire about a tour!

Members love our gym in the heart of Nottingham city centre – the friendly and experienced gym team, our fantastic range of equipment and the community atmosphere.

We’ll arrange an induction on your first visit if you like – just let us know when you’re thinking of coming. We’ll show you how to use the equipment and answer any questions you may have about our facilities. And with no joining fee and no contract – you are in control of your membership!

Please note some of our services and classes are temporarily suspended. To review our opening times, current equipment for use and how to book a session, please see GymSafe details above.

All members can request an induction when you join YMCA Gym. Please book at reception and one of the team will help you to get the best from your membership, show you where everything is and make sure you’re working out safely. If you are joining our Crossfit 1871 membership you will need to complete the 1871 fundamentals before you start.

You must pre-book to secure your place as classes are capped. You can book up to one week in advance by downloading the YMCA Gym app for android / IOS, or by visiting our online fitness class schedule.

Please let us know as soon as possible (at least 24 hours in advance) if you can’t make a class you’ve booked so we can give your place to someone else. Unfortunately, regular no-shows will result in you not being able to book classes for a period of time. Plus, if you arrive late for a class you may not be able to take part.

We recommend you take medical advice from your GP before undertaking any exercise. After this, talk to a member of our team about your needs and goals. All of our classes are designed so everyone, regardless of ability, health condition or illness, can take part. Please also make sure you let your Instructor or Coach know if you have any medical conditions that may affect your ability to exercise safely. Get in touch today to arrange a chat or ask any questions.
