HERE'S HOW WE ARE BUILDING A BETTER US IN BOULDER
Beginning in late August 2023, the 57-year-old Boulder YMCA will start a new chapter. Construction will begin to transform the Y to better meet the changing needs of the Boulder community.
This renovation will last approximately 6 months and will impact many areas of the current YMCA building. However, the Y will remain open throughout construction. We anticipate some level of disruption during the renovation, but we are committed to minimizing any impact on our members and staff, ensuring a smooth transition throughout the entire process. Our staff will work to shift program and class locations and offer outdoor options, when needed. Remember, construction timelines change, so be patient with us during this time.
Through this project to build a stronger Boulder Y, we will further our commitment to uplifting our neighbors, providing spaces for connection, supporting families and empowering youth. With your help, we can continue to strengthen individuals while strengthening our community.

How Will the Y Look Different?
Here are some of the key outcomes of the Boulder Y renovation:
YMCA Inspire Preschool and Infant/Toddler childcare comes to Boulder: To better serve local families in need of early childhood programs, we are adding preschool classrooms as well as an infant and toddler room. An outdoor play space will also be developed. We are thrilled to announce that these new spaces will serve up to 120 little ones.
Additional Childcare & Adult Day Services Space: The Boulder Y’s future childcare center will expand its ability to serve our most vulnerable residents: 150 day campers and 150 children in after school care, as well as 70 adults with disabilities.
Revamped Head Start: We're proud to partner with Boulder County to offer a Head Start program in the Y.
Expansion of Modernized Fitness Area: We're expanding and shifting our fitness area to meet the growing demand for exercise facilities. The renovation includes an increase in size of our group exercise studio, a rejuvenating courtyard space with sunshade and state-of-the-art free weight area.
UPCOMING CLOSURES:
- The Carol Grever studio is temporarily closed; all classes have been relocated to other spaces.
- The east patio is currently undergoing demolition. Noise levels will be high Aug 29-Sept 1 and will impact the cardio/weights area.
- The Pilates Reformer room is closed; classes are in the Aspen Room.
- New areas for stretching have been developed.
