The PIT

What is the PIT?

The PIT, our Performance Intensity Training Studio, offers a secondary Wellness Floor & Group Exercise Space focused on performance & strength training with free weights, stationary bikes, rowers and more.

Where is the PIT?

The PIT is located on the Ground Floor of the Downtown Family YMCA. You can either take the elevator to the ground floor & follow the signage from there or go down the stairs from the lobby and walk past aquatics to the door at the end of the hallway.
