Your membership receipt looks a little different here🧾✨

On paper, it might look like a standard monthly gym fee. But in reality? It translates to something so much bigger.

Every time your membership renews, that transaction is directly translated into real, life-changing support right here in our community. To name a few, it means:
✨Safe beds and a secure place to stay for local people facing homelessness.
✨Specialised cancer rehab classes to help people rebuild their strength and confidence after illness.
✨Vital youth programmes that give the next generation a safe, positive space to grow and thrive.

You aren’t just investing in your own health when you train with us—you are actively investing in the lives of the people around you.

Thank you for being more than just a gym member. Thank you for helping us support our community. 💛

So, where do your membership fees actually go? Short answer: Not into the pockets of shareholders ❌

The real answer? Every single penny goes right back into your local community 💚

Because we are a social enterprise, we don’t have shareholders to pay out. Instead, 100% of the profit from your gym membership is reinvested directly into the life-changing local charitable work of YMCA North Tyneside.

Your monthly membership directly funds:
🏠 Supported accommodation to tackle local homelessness.
💛 Specialised cancer rehabilitation and holistic health support.
🎒 Vital children and youth programmes.

You get fit. Your community gets stronger. Simple as that.

We’re here for young people, here for communities, and here for you 💚
