They are guided by a coordinator to organise and run their own community events throughout the year and learn the responsibilities needed to run a successful event.
Birthday Parties
There is only one word to describe parties at YMCA Hamilton and that's FUN! We cater for all children and there will be a staff member on hand to help you run your party, along with games and free play on the YMCA gymnastics equipment.

All you need to do is bring the party food, decorations and cake of course!

Yoga. It's the perfect workout for mind, body and soul, but it's not always easy to know where to start. To celebrate International Yoga Day, we asked Gemma Mullins, YMCA's MindBody Teacher of the Year, to give us her top 5 tips to help beginners get into yoga.
How fast can you complete 50 bodyweight squats? Speed, speed, speed! That’s what this month’s YMCA fitness challenge is all about!
