Hours of Operation

Dear Members,

We are sharing this message to address the air conditioning and facility needs of YMCA Arlington.

As you may be aware, the Y is in the process of working with the county on the development of a new Y for the Arlington community which is much needed and deserved. Given the age of the current facility being more than 75 years old, the Y continues to experience failing systems and difficulty in the sourcing of parts for the aging infrastructure. Currently we are awaiting parts related to a costly failed air-conditioning compressor. We anticipate the repair to be completed by the first week in July.

In response to this situation, the Y is offering all YMCA Arlington members access to any YMCA of Metropolitan Washington location for your wellness needs. In addition, the Y has reached out to Marymount University, a strong community partner, to provide space so you may continue with your group exercise classes over approximately the next three weeks at Marymount University (2807 N. Glebe Road). The Y would like to thank Marymount University for their support; our loyal instructors for their flexibility and excitement for welcoming you to Marymount; and our membership for their patience and support of the Y. Later today by 4pm, the YMCA Arlington group exercise website will be updated with all class locations at Marymount University and the supporting details you need to know to plan for a great class experience. You will find that the vast majority of YMCA group exercise classes offered at Marymount University will take place at the same day of the week and time as you are currently used to at YMCA Arlington.
