About us.

Welcome to the Pelham Y

The Pelham YMCA was established in 1997 as a result of a joint venture between the Birmingham YMCA and Shelby Baptist Medical Center.  The facility was designed with the entire family in mind and boasts over 41,000 square feet of facilities including areas for health and wellness, childcare, sports and programs for youth, teens, adults, and seniors.

Amenities & Facilities Overview

Inside the Pelham YMCA, visitors will find a modern fitness center designed to meet a variety of health and wellness goals. Cardio machines, free weights, and functional training areas provide everything from high-intensity workouts to strength-building sessions. Group fitness studios host classes like yoga, strength training, cycling, Les Mills and Zumba, while wellness spaces allow members to focus on stretching, recovery, or mindfulness. The outdoor pool offers swimming for lap enthusiasts, family swim, and water fitness classes.

Programs for All Ages 

The YMCA offers programs that grow with you and your family. Youth programs include swim lessons, sports clinics, and after-school activities, providing children with opportunities to learn, play, and build confidence. Teens can engage in leadership development programs, fitness training, and social events designed to build skills and community connections. Adults can choose from many group fitness classes including yoga, strength training, cycling, Les Mills and Zumba, while seniors enjoy Active Older Adult classes focused on balance, flexibility, and overall wellness. Seasonal programming such as summer camps, holiday events, and community gatherings ensures there’s always something exciting happening at the YMCA. With offerings for every age and stage, the Pelham YMCA supports a lifetime of health and learning.

Aquatics & Outdoor Pools

A centerpiece of the Pelham YMCA is its year-round indoor pool and seasonal outdoor pool. Perfect for lap swimming, family swim, and water fitness, the pool is maintained to the highest standards of cleanliness and safety, with trained lifeguards always on duty. Swimming lessons are available for all ages and levels, from toddlers taking their first strokes to adults refining technique. Water safety programs and aquatics coaching provide confidence in and out of the water, helping families enjoy the pool with peace of mind. Lap swim schedules are adjusted seasonally to accommodate community needs, ensuring that everyone- from competitive swimmers to casual visitors – can enjoy the benefits of swimming at the YMCA.

Childcare, Family Support & Community Programs

The Pelham YMCA’s Child Watch services offer safe, engaging care for children ages 8 weeks to 12 years. Activities include games, crafts, creative learning, and social play, all supervised by trained staff in a secure environment. Family programs extend beyond childcare, featuring events, enrichment activities, and opportunities to engage with the local community. Youth and adult tennis programs encourage family participation, and parents can take comfort in knowing their children are learning, playing, and thriving while they focus on fitness or personal goals. The YMCA fosters a supportive, family-centered community where everyone can connect, grow, and stay active together.
