Group exercise classes include yoga, Pilates, and swim lessons for all ages. The Teen Center provides basketball, racquet sports, and leadership programs.

Located on 64th Street, the YMCA is a 5-minute walk from Central Park and Lincoln Center (home to The New York Philharmonic and Jazz at Lincoln Center). The 59th Street-Columbus Circle subway station (A, B, C, D, 1 lines) is nearby, providing direct access to Times Square and Grand Central Terminal.
