Central YMCA Club

Central YMCA Club at 112 Great Russell Street has now closed.

In time you’ll see this page become more exclusively focussed on activities out of KX and our charitable programmes but we also want to honour the memory, legacy and impact of the Club so please do send us pictures, stories and memories from your time at the Club that you want to share with the wider community here. 💙

Please send any submissions via DM

Club Notice

Partial Gym Closure Monday 27 January

In partnership with Camden Council - Better (GLL) is dedicated to supporting local residents by providing inclusive and accessible leisure, sport, and physical activity services across six facilities in Camden.

With the upcoming closure of Central YMCA, we understand this is a big change for many of you. That's why representatives from Better and Camden Council will be at the Club next week to chat informally and answer any questions you may have about your options.

What to expect from these sessions:
• Info on services available at Better facilities in Camden.
• Answers to your questions about the programmes, services and memberships.
• A chance to share your feedback on activities that matter to you.
• Details on alternative opportunities across the borough.

Oasis Sports Centre is the Council’s closest facility to Central YMCA Club operated by Better, just a five-minute walk from Tottenham Court Road Underground. It offers:
• Indoor & outdoor swimming pools
• Two-floor gym
• Three studio spaces, including a group cycle studio

🕐 We’ll have reduced hours from tomorrow, Tuesday 24th December to Wednesday 1st January to give our staff some well-deserved time to spend with their loved ones during the holiday period. The Club will have reduced hours on most of these days, and we’ll be closed completely on Christmas, Boxing Day, and New Year’s Day.

Have an amazing time over the holidays, and we’ll be back to our normal opening hours from the 2nd of January. 🎄
