WE'RE FOR HEALTHY LIVING

Strengthening the well-being of our community

Be fit, be healthy, and have fun: that’s what leading a healthy lifestyle is all about.  Whether you want to work out in a Group Exercise Class, meet one-on-one with a Personal Wellness Coach, learn more about your own health and wellness through Health Screenings, or exercise on your own in our Cardio or Weight Room areas, the Y has something for all ages, abilities, and fitness levels.   Take the next step today towards a better tomorrow!


Fitness, Wellness, and a Healthy You

Personal Wellness  |  Group Fitness Classes  |  Cardio 

Because we know that healthy lifestyles are achieved through nurturing mind, body and spirit, well-being and fitness at the Y is so much more than just working out. Beyond fitness facilities, we provide educational programs to promote healthier decisions, and offer a variety of programs that support physical, intellectual and spiritual strength. 


NorthShore Health Centers

Screenings  |  Seminars

The Portage Township YMCA has joined forces with NorthShore Health Centers to create a new strategic partnership which will enhance the quality of life and health in the Portage community by striving to reduce the incidence of illness through clinical services, education and prevention.  This partnership provides you a health and wellness network of resources that will provide the tools and information you need to live a healthier life.

Sports & Recreation

Walk & Run  |  Pickleball  |  Basketball  |  Racquetball  |  Volleyball

We believe sports, fun and exploring new interests aren’t just for the young. Along with improving health, whenever teamwork is involved, there’s the added benefit of being connected to others. That’s why you’ll find a range of sports and recreational activities at the Y. With something to offer everyone, there’s no such thing as being too old to get in the game.

Most adult sports are for participants 14 years and older.
