Our Central London venue is our flagship centre for education, health and wellbeing – and is home to YMCA Club, the largest gym facility in central London.
Being healthy and feeling good is about more than physical fitness. That’s why we take the holistic approach; looking after the mind, body and spirit.
Don’t be surprised to see reflexology and meditation offered alongside personal training sessions. Or, a community choir running side-by-side with fitness classes.
We’re building a happier, healthier, more connected community that all Londoners can benefit from. Join us. Everyone is welcome; all ages, all backgrounds, all fitness levels.

Fitness Training Academy
The FTA is an alternative to college and A-levels for 16-18-year olds. The FTA gives you a step into the fitness industry with a fully-funded two-year course.
In that time, you’ll become a qualified Personal Trainer and gain professional experience with weekly work placements at established fitness and leisure clubs.
Apprenticeships
If you already have some relevant work experience, and a strong level of maths and English too, you may feel ready to go straight for an apprenticeship. Anyone between the ages of 16-65 can apply to become an apprentice.
