Our Commitment

Since our beginning in 1897, YWCA Metro Vancouver has promoted physical activity. As early as 1915, we had a variety of physical training classes for women, a grass hockey club and a girls' basketball team.

With each passing decade, we have continued to evolve to meet the changing needs of our community. In 1994, we opened our flagship Health + Fitness Centre as an adult facility.

Our commitment to the community's health and wellness will always be a driving force behind YWCA Health + Fitness.
