FAMILIAR PLACES, BRAND NEW SPACES.
As one of Greenville County’s leading nonprofit health and human services organizations, the Y nurtures the potential and well-being of kids, adults and families in our community each and every day. With this mission in mind, and in response to Southern Greenville County's exponential growth in recent years, we're excited to expand the Prisma Health Family YMCA campus and program offerings.
Starting Monday, October 21st, crews will be demoing our current Room 5 and Cardio Theater spaces to prepare for construction of two new group exercise spaces, one of which will be a Functional Training Room to include Beast Mode, TRX, Kettlebell classes and more, and the other will be of similar size and usage as our current room 1 studio to include all types of your favorite classes! It will also include an open floor area near our track for other individual exercise.
By regaining the use of court 4 in our gymnasium after the renovations, we can consolidate some of our youth sports programs to our Prisma Health Family Y campus, creating a better and safer experience for our kids. This will also create two “new”, completely refreshed spaces upstairs for group exercise and other programming right before 2025! Along with that, it gives our staff more flexibility in programming and more options for YOU! This also is a first step to maximize the efficiency of our spaces in the building as we approach the next phase of construction in 2025.
- Some group exercise classes will now take place in the Beast Mode area in the gym. This means there may also be less “open gym” times in the Beast Mode area. Please pay attention to the schedule outside of the Beast Mode area for the latest updates on classes and open gym. Also, as always, check our app for all class times and locations!
The Cardio Theater and Room 5 will no longer be accessible as they were. The two new spaces will open as soon as construction is complete, by the end of December.
After the construction, the former Beast Mode area in the gym will be utilized similarly to the rest of our gym, including for youth sports, group exercise classes, and open or free play basketball, pickleball, and more!
We also have ordered and will have all new cardio machines for the entire facility, two new lines of selectorized strength equipment, including EGYM, as well as new cable and plate loaded equipment throughout our wellness spaces. We are so excited to get this later this year along with all-new flooring on the main wellness floor and pit area! More to come on exact dates and times of these installations! We are so excited of all the new things about to happen at the Prisma Health Family YMCA!
MORE ABOUT OUR DETAILED PLAN:
Youth Development Programs Area:
Built with a dedicated entrance, the 8,000 square foot expansion will allow for more children to participate in this branch’s afterschool and summer day camp programs. Headquarters for the South Carolina Youth in Government and YMCA of Greenville Teen Achievers programs will be located within the new expansion. Childwatch will have an additional 2,000 square feet added.
Second Gymnasium:
Due to the growing needs of Youth Development programming, an additional gymnasium (7,000 square feet) will be built for afterschool, summer day camp and youth sports.
Additional Parking:
With more members and program participants coming to the Prisma Health Family YMCA branch, an acre of additional parking will be built.
New Building Entrance:
The front entrance will be renovated to better accommodate the volume of people entering/exiting the facility.
Pending the level of funds raised during phase one, an outdoor rooftop wellness center with approximately 8,000 additional square feet of programmable space created for a variety of group exercise classes and individual workouts, will be scheduled to be built at that time, or later as funds allow.
