Charter memberships for the Carl and Linda Grubb Family YMCA of Archdale-Trinity go on sale today (April 15). The new facility will open its doors at 9 a.m. Friday, May 28.

After months of overseeing construction of the Carl and Linda Grubb Family YMCA building, Branch Director David Pollock is ready to help folks live healthier lives.

Fitness programs include aerobics, yoga, personal training, fitness evaluations, strength training, injury rehabilitation, exercise for beginners and teen fitness. The YMCA will continue its youth sports programs of soccer (indoor and outdoor) basketball, baseball, T-ball, flag football, girls softball, volleyball, sports camps and clinics, swim lessons at Trindale Community Pool, adult softball, dodgeball and volleyball.

While the “everyday” offerings are extensive and inclusive of every age group, now is a special time to join.

“We want people to join as charter members,” said Pollock. “We have some extra benefits for charter members.”

The $25 joining fee will be waived for those who join by May 28. Charter members will receive $25 in Y-bucks for program credit, along with a thank-you package consisting of a water bottle, an information magnet and plastic cup, all imprinted with the logo of the Carl and Linda Grubb Family YMCA of Archdale-Trinity.

Charter members who authorize a monthly bank draft will make the first payment July 2. Those who pay for an entire year will receive a 13-month membership.

Membership perks include fitness orientation, family open gym time and group exercise classes.

Another membership privilege is free child care.

“We want to provide a family-oriented atmosphere,” Pollock said. “We will provide a safe place for kids to be while mom and dad work out.”

Child-care hours run from 8:30 to 11 a.m. and from 4:30 to 7:30 p.m. Monday through Friday and from 8:30 to 11 a.m. on Saturday.

A formal grand opening ceremony will take place at 3 p.m. Sunday, June 13.
