IMPORTANT HALE UPDATES
NEW Fitness Flooring Underway: Phase 2 Starts TUESDAY May 26
May 22, 2026
Dear Hale Family YMCA Members & Friends,
Phase 2 — the FINAL PHASE of our Fitness Flooring Project — begins Tuesday, May 26. We will be reopening our Phase 1 section of the fitness center to reveal newly updated flooring and will transition equipment to temporary locations as we work to complete our final phase, the second half of the fitness floor.
Please note that TUESDAY, MAY 26 will be a particularly busy day on the fitness floor as we move equipment to its Phase 2 location. If your desired piece of equipment is not available during your workout, please see a staff member to help you find an alternative.
Phase 2 Timeline & What to Expect
- Phase 2, our FINAL PHASE, begins May 26
- Full project completion is expected around June 20
- EGYM circuit remains in the lobby of our recent upstairs expansion
- Keiser remains offline until the project is completed
- Select cardio and strength equipment available in temporary locations
- Studios B & C remain closed during the project
- Walkways to Spaulding Rehab, Studio A, and Gymnastics remain open (with minor shifts)
Rest assured, at the completion of the project, everything will return to its original location!
Look for signs to guide you
Our team is here to help you navigate the space and adjust your workout as needed. Be sure to check posted signage and floor maps throughout the facility
