The Northeast Community YMCA was one of the first suburban branches built, in 1962. More than a place, the YMCA Northeast Youth Center served the youth in Birmingham as well as our Active Older Adult population. As the needs of the community changed, it became apparent that the Northeast YMCA was in need of significant upgrades and partnerships to continue strengthening the community we proudly serve.
In early Fall 2025, the Northeast YMCA will re-open as the Northeast Community YMCA, offering many of the same programs as before, plus more exercise options, community gathering spaces, upgraded classrooms for Pre-K and so muchmore!
The Northeast Community YMCA will continue to strengthen the community through programs that promote Youth Development, Healthy Living and Social Responsibility.

EGYM at the YMCA: Take the guesswork out of your workout! EGYM strength equipment is designed to tailor workouts specific to each user, including weight and range of motion. The workouts are done in circuits and give users a full-body work out in 30 minutes or less! How does it work? Our staff will lead you through an orientation that overviews how to use the equipment and technology and gathers all the info needed to customize your workouts. More information will be available when we re-open in early Fall.
