Need a break? We've got you.
The Y has you covered when you've got things to do. We offer two childcare programs for kids ages 1-12 at multiple locations with a variety of dates and times:
- Parents Night Out is the perfect opportunity to enjoy some time off while your child has fun with us. You don't have to be a member to register, although members get the best rate. Find upcoming sessions here.
- Members can use Kids Club when they need to run errands or get some work done. This benefit gives you the opportunity to leave the facility while your child enjoys fun activities and makes new friends. Click here to find a time that works for you.
Party with the Bulldogs

HEALTHY LIVING
Go beyond the scale
We’re excited to announce the launch of the new InBody 380 scanner, which provides a detailed analysis of your health and fitness. Stop by the front desk to schedule your 30-minute appointment. The first scan is free for members. Our coaching staff will teach you how to interpret your results to reach your fitness goals. One scanner is based at the Reuter Family Y, and the other travels between locations.
