Valley Connection YMCA
Since our inception, the YMCA of Catawba Valley has been guided by its Christian mission and values to strengthen the foundations of our community and nurture the potential of those men, women and children who make up the diverse and culture rich environment our wonderful community is built upon.

As a leading nonprofit dedicated to meeting community needs, we engage people across several counties, giving more than 200,000 of our neighbors and children the chance to learn, grow and thrive in a welcoming atmosphere.The Y offers more than just fitness programs, a fitness center, or a pool. The Y is so much more and it offers so much.
Services
We provide several convenient locations throughout Catawba Valley to better serve you in our community. We believe that all kids deserve opportunities to discover who they are and what they can achieve. Our Y focuses on preparing more kids for success in school and life by providing education and support, along with the physical and emotional guidance kids need to learn, grow and thrive.
We understand the needs of our community. To better serve those needs, we have several convenient locations throughout Catawba Valley, each having their own special programs and activities. There's no need to worry with multiple memberships with the YMCA of Catawba Valley, because when you become a member, you're welcome at any of our participating locations!
Because we know that healthy lifestyles are achieved through nurturing mind, body and spirit, well-being and fitness at the Y includes more than just working out. In addition to our physical fitness classes and activities, we provide educational programs to promote healthier decisions, and offer a variety of programs that support physical, intellectual and spiritual strength.
Each location in our community has it's own offering of fun and inviting features. Take a look at each facility without leaving the comfort of your own home. After you see what our locations are like, we invite you to continue onto the history of each location, with fun fact and a time-line of the progress we've made in and around the community.
We hate to see you go! If for any reason you need to cancel your membership, we are here to help. First, you'll need to come into your local YMCA branch and talk to one of our helpful membership staff. It is not currently possible to cancel your membership over the phone, through email, or online. Once you've spoken with a membership staff, they will get all the information needed to cancel your membership.

Always friendly staff. They keep the place so clean and the equipment is nicely organized. Also love the tennis courts, no cracks in the pavement and the paint always looks nice. Both the indoor and outdoor walking tracks are great as well. This gym is worth is for the money.

Walking up the stairs after hitting legs can be a pain. Great up-to-date equipment and helpful staff. Plenty of spray bottles and towels to sanitize equipment. Hate to say it, but the music selection they play in the gym needs some work. Bring headphones.

I love this place, everything you need to get in a good workout. The YMCA has always been good to me from when I was in the military till today. I worker my way up to competition level fitness with equipment & spaces provided by the YMCA.

Went to the indoor pool and hot tub today. The dressing rooms, bathrooms and showers were extremely and thoroughly clean. No safety issues or concerns. It was an enjoyable Sunday afternoon.

I am amazed at a non-profit agency that will continue to charge its members when they are closed. In canceling my account I was told that the funds support the daycare and blood drives. Blood drives are done by American Redcross who does not charge to set up and do blood donations. Daycare service which I used over 20 years ago charged enough to pay staff not counting the NC finds they get each month. Your also making staff sign up if they do not work so pocketing monthly membership fees provides income to board of directors so be honest on where membership fees are going while you are closed for

Very clean for a facility like this. equipment is in very good to new condition. Staff is mostly super nice. For the 75 a month for a family (about), its one of the best investments in health and wellness you could make. Crazy thing is though that if you join and don't use it often, it has no effect!!!!

Hickory YMCA has the best events on Healthy Kids Day. They bring all sorts of vendors together for their customers. I absolutely enjoy this event every year!
