February Workout Wednesdays:

During the month of February, 2016 the YWCA of Asheville is hosting free “Workout Wednesdays” all day, every Wednesday.

The purpose of Workout Wednesdays is to open up our exercise facility and programming – including our weight room, solar-heated pool, and exercise classes – to the community as a thank you for supporting us over the past 107 years, and to hopefully encourage health and wellness for all.

Our fully equipped facility includes:
• A 2,500-square-foot gym fully equipped with free weights & weight machines
• An 860-square-foot fitness studio with ergonomically designed floors
• A 75-foot-long solar-heated pool
• An indoor cycling studio
• Adaptive equipment & programs

Club W memberships are available to men and women, and help support the YWCA’s social justice programs.
