YWCA Adult Fitness

YWCA Black Hawk County Health & Wellness Services is open, adding new classes and taking new participants.

To ensure the health and safety of participants, staff and the community, we have made some changes to class times and size; and participants must adhere to our protocols regarding face coverings, group size, social distancing, etc. while at the YWCA.

• At the YWCA you will be treated like family. Our Wellness staff are ready to help you get started on your customized journey to a healthier you!

• The YWCA is a great deal, with convenient monthly plans. You pay for one-month or one class at a time. We do not automatically debit you for a year like most gyms, and the YWCA offers financial assistance, making it affordable for everyone.

• Why now? We recently redefined and revamped many of our adult fitness classes.
This is your opportunity to try them out!

Your new active lifestyle is waiting for you!
