Downtown YMCA

410 North Palafox Street
850-438-4406

Our Downtown Branch is housed in a 50-year-old building that has grown and changed to keep up with our growing and changing membership. Actually three buildings joined in one, this branch underwent a major remodeling in 2000 that has led to a renaissance at this historic location. Subsequent renovations have transformed this established branch into a modern fitness facility equipped to meet the needs of our 2,800+ members. If you haven't visited our branch lately, you'll love all the changes we've made. Your first visit is always free -- just bring a picture ID and sign in as our guest. Our facility includes:

complete selectorized weight circuit and free weights
