There’s no place like this place… and we’ve had 170 years to prove it.

Yep. The YMCA of Central Virginia has been around almost as long as the very first YMCA ever built. Only five years behind it. Call us the little brother who grew up with some big heart.

Even with the cold and snow, this community keeps showing up for each other. From preschool drop-offs to strength training, swim lessons, summer camp, basketball, and every hallway high-five in between… this place keeps people connected.

As we prepare for 2026, we’re celebrating everything that makes the Y special and inviting you in on it. Because 170 years in, the story keeps getting better.

✨Volunteer Spotlight: Barb & Wendy

Since the beginning of Rock Steady Boxing at the YMCA of Central Virginia, Barb & Wendy have been showing up, serving others and making a difference.

Longtime business partners, these two brought their expertise in physical therapy to our Rock Steady Boxing community. We're so grateful for the time, care, encouragement and heart they continue to give our participants.

Thank you, Barb & Wendy, for being such amazing volunteers and an important part of the Rock Steady community 🥊 by @ymcacva

Through Give Back Do Good, our community impact initiative, we tackle a critical need each month by collecting non-monetary donations to support local nonprofits and the people they serve.

For September, Rush Homes was our recipient! Today, we delivered the incredible collection of donations made possible by our YMCA members and community.

We’re so grateful to everyone who donated and helped make this collection possible. These donations will make a meaningful difference for the people who call Rush Homes home.

Move. Connect. Have Fun. 💙

Over the past few months, we’ve had the opportunity to welcome our community to several Adaptive Group Fitness Classes and we’ve loved every minute.

These classes are about more than fitness. They’re about creating a space where teens and adults with intellectual or physical disabilities can move, build confidence, connect with others, and have fun together.

Here’s to more movement, more connection and more fun together! by @ymcacva

This morning, in commemoration of the 25th anniversary of September 11, Sergeant Jonathan Richey and Captain Josh Gryder of the Campbell County Sheriff’s Office each completed 110 floors on the stair climber—more than 1,600 steps—while wearing 40 pounds of gear.

The climb took approximately 25 minutes, but its meaning reaches far beyond the time and distance. Their effort honored the first responders who climbed toward danger that morning and all those whose lives were lost or forever changed.

We remember their courage. We honor their sacrifice. We will never forget. 🇺🇸 by @ymcacva
