More than a Gym Membership

Joining the YMCA gets you more than a gym membership in Reston. We are more than our treadmills, our spin bikes, and our pool. The YMCA is a nonprofit dedicated to serving the community with programs that support youth development, healthy living, and social responsibility. Every day, our staff members create programs and opportunities designed to enrich the lives of community members of all backgrounds, while providing you with the facilities, equipment, and services you need to meet all your health and fitness goals. Join the Y, and get started building a stronger you, and supporting a stronger community.

A YMCA Reston gym and pool membership gets you access to top-notch equipment and amenities, catering to all your fitness needs – from cardio to free weights or resistance workouts. And our exercise experts are close at hand to provide you with the guidance and motivation you need to keep you on track to meet your fitness goals.

Child Care

The YMCA offers warm and welcoming learning environment for children of all backgrounds. Our highly trained and credentialed staff members follow a curriculum proven to help children of all ages build essential skills. Beyond literacy, math, and science, students strengthen their creativity and critical thinking. They learn how to make friends and be good teammates. Staff members provide rich and engaging experiences so students can build their self-motivation, grit, and resilience. Fun games and activities and nutritious foods are built into every day because at the Y, we understand that healthy children need healthy bodies AND healthy minds. We provide certified childcare for:

Infants

In our infant programs, a focus is placed on flexible programming to match your child’s developmental needs, and staff provide regular one-on-one quality attention for each child beyond meeting basic needs such as feeding, diapering, attachment, napping and communication.​ Children enjoy outside for fresh air and sunshine, as well as tummy time and playtime every day.

Toddlers

Our toddler caregivers set up safe and effective routines for their students to ensure they get lots of opportunities to build their physical, emotional, social and cognitive skills. Once learned, these structures give young students the boundaries they need to explore their environment and take on new challenges safely. 

Early Learning (Preschool)

In our Preschool program curriculum, we prepare children for success in school and in life by providing age-appropriate academics, as well as opportunities to solve problems, work together, build their self-esteem and their respect for others, and learn how to learn and grow. 

Before and Aftercare

To help parents that get to work early, or stay later than the school day, the YMCA is there to provide homework help, as well as the friends, fun, and physical activity that make a happy healthy childhood.

Our group classes have been professionally designed and tested to keep our members motivated and moving, and all programs evolve with the latest trends in group exercise to keep things fresh and exciting.

Before you hit the gym, our pool also provides a safe place to stretch and improve your flexibility while decreasing the risk of pulling a muscle or overextending a joint.

Kids Sports

YMCA branched paused all youth sports during the pandemic, but we’re working hard to bring them back to make sure kids get thrill of competition, the challenge of pushing themselves to achieve, and the camaraderie of being on a team. Keep an eye out for registration information at the Reston branch.

Nutrition Counseling

Changing your diet is one of the most fundamental ways you can improve your overall health. So the YMCA offers members 3, 6, or 9 session packages with our Registered Dietitian Nutritionist to help you create a personalized nutrition plan that will help you meet your health goals..

Together, the dietitian and client will:
