Fitness Center

In our fitness center you will find the latest exercise equipment, combined with professional and caring staff who can help you reach your goals in a way that works for you.   The YMCA is more than a gym.  We work hard to create a strong sense of community and an atmosphere that is unintimidating.

Cardio Rooms 

Cardio equipment is temporarily located in the Family Gym on the second floor.  Some machines in our cardio-annex have multi-media features.

Strength Training Center & Free Weights

In the strength training center you will find people of all ages and abilities. We have a wide variety of fitness machines, a stretching area with mats and exercise balls, and free weights.  Fitness coaches are available to answer any questions you may have about the equipment or exercises.

Fitlinxx

Fitlinxx is one of the many features at the Berkeley Y helping members reach their full potential.  This computerized system linked to our strength equipment learns your program, tracks your progress, and coaches you individually through your workout for optimal results.  Fitlinxx gives you the feedback you need to help you stick with it...and it is free with your membership!
