YOU SPOKE. WE LISTENED.
ADDITIONAL ENHANCEMENTS ARE COMING SOON TO THE KRAFT FAMILY YMCA!
At the Y, member experience is always our top priority. In an effort to continually enhance our member offerings, we have several improvements we are excited to bring your way!
Starting in March 2024 members will enjoy:
- a Wellness Floor Redesign making way for an expanded free weight area and the latest new cardio equipment including new MATRIX Upright and Recumbent Bikes, STAIRMASTER 10g Climbers and HIIT Rowers.
- a Locker Room "Glow-Up." Both our Men's and Women's Locker Rooms will receive all new tiling on wet surface areas. Members should be aware they may experience interrupted locker room access during the retiling scheduled to begin March 4.
- Expanded Kid Zone hours for our youngest Y members. Beginning in March, Kid Zone will be open on Sundays! Members must register in advance for Sunday Kid Zone access. Find more information on our Facebook page. Kid Zone will also offer dedicated times for neurodivergent children to attend with 1:1 staff member care.
- Extended Saturday hours. Beginning Saturday, March 2 we will open our doors beginning at 7:30 a.m. Get an earlier start to your weekend workout routine!
- More Group Exercise Classes! Look for an increase in the number and variety of group exercise classes offered to meet member demand. Register in the Y mobile app 48 hours in advance to reserve your spot.
- More Pickleball Play. Additional Pickleball time slots have been added to allow play seven days a week!
- a brand new amenity - Infrared Saunas! Infrared saunas will be added to our locker rooms as a new member experience in late spring after completing our locker room retiling. Infrared sauna benefits are similar to those experienced with a traditional sauna, but at a lower temperature. Infrared lamps warm your body tissue directly, whereas conventional saunas heat the air around you first. Benefits may include improved circulation and blood pressure, relief from sore muscles and joint pain, relaxation, detoxification and better sleep.
Although most of our amenities will remain open during this facility refresh, members may wish to utilize other branches during periods of peak renovations or plan accordingly to allow extra time for changing and showering as potential interruptions to locker room usage is expected. Please remember members have the flexibility to visit any YMCA of the Triangle location at any time through their member benefits.
Thank you in advance for your patience during our facility "glow-up" to enhance your member experience. We are looking forward to these upgraded offerings just around the corner!
But don't wait for March
