Here at the YMCA, we believe that everyone has the right to be healthy and happy. That’s why we’ve created a unique range of programs that go beyond just exercise. You see, we believe that being fitter, stronger and slimmer are only a part of a healthy and balanced lifestyle. 

We know that to lead a lifestyle which is balanced in body, mind and spirit takes something more:  Smart training, smart thinking and smart eating.

'Wellness' is more than just about living a life free of illnesses and disease.  It's about living a full, healthy and balanced life.  It's more than just 'getting by':   It's about taking responsibility for your own health and wellbeing!

Each of our programs have been specially tailored to meet the needs of people just like you.  To learn more, browse through our range of programs in the menu above.

The YMCA Wellness Studio is the latest initiative of the YMCA of Brisbane, providing services to our community that makes a strong and lasting difference to people’s lives.  Renowned the world over as the leading provider of health and fitness services, the YMCA now paves the way for a range of new and exciting wellness programs that nurture growth in the whole person:  Body, Mind and Spirit.

Our Mission

All of the programs at the YMCA Wellness Studio start with the same question: 

What do our clients need to know and to do to lead a balanced, healthy and happy lifestyle?

Our mission is to answer this question for each group of people to which our services cater, and create programs that make this a reality for all of our clients.  All of our programs are created and operate by upholding the four key values of the YMCA.

Our Core Values

Our four core values are the same as those upheld by YMCA’s all around the world:

Caring – In a nutshell, that’s why we are here!  We care for our clients by combining the best information and practices to create programs that really make a difference.  Each of our programs have been specially tailored with you in mind.  Unlike many health and fitness centres that seem more concerned with unloading your wallet – the YMCA has been here, caring for the Brisbane community since 1864.  At the YMCA Wellness Studio we really are here for you!

Honesty – We strongly believe in upholding the integrity which comes by being honest in all of our dealings.  Honesty is indispensable in nurturing trust and strong relationships with all our clients, in order to really make a difference.

Responsibility – We believe that with responsibility comes empowerment.  At the YMCA Wellness Studio our programs aren’t about babysitting our clients.  Our responsibility is to provide the information and practices that encourage every client to realise their potential and take responsibility for their own health and wellbeing.  We believe this is the key to maintaining a healthy, happy and balanced lifestyle for life. 

Respect – Everyone is unique in their own way - we understand and respect this.  We respect our clients by adapting what we do to suit best so that they can learn and enjoy the benefits.  Quite often though, it’s our clients who teach us and help us to make stronger, more effective programs.

Oh, and most importantly it’s got to be FUN!!
