24 Hour Fitness Access
Discover the freedom of working out on your schedule. With 24-hour access, the Y is here for you, day or night!
24/7 Access for a Healthier You
At the Y, we know life doesn’t always fit a 9-to-5 schedule. That’s why our 24/7 fitness centers—at the Southeast Family YMCA and the soon-to-relocate Downtown Express YMCA in Huntsville—are designed to give you the freedom to work out whenever it works best for you. Whether you’re an early riser or a night owl, our doors are always open to help you stay committed to your health and wellness goals.
With convenient 24/7 access at both the Southeast Family YMCA and new Downtown Express YMCA (starting Nov 2025), you’ll find everything you need for a great workout, anytime.
How to Access
Getting started with 24/7 access is simple and straightforward. Adult members (19+) of the Heart of the Valley YMCA can apply for 24/7 Wellness Center access at the Welcome Center of your local Y. Just sign a waiver and upgrade your membership with 24/7 access for no additional cost. Enjoy peace of mind knowing our advanced security system is in place to keep you safe.
Your Safety is Our Priority
We take your safety seriously. Our 24/7 facilities are equipped with security and video surveillance systems, ensuring you have a secure workout environment, even during non-staffed hours. While emergency assistance isn’t available on-site, we highly encourage working out with a buddy for added safety.
For your convenience, emergency kits, including AEDs, are located at key spots within our Y locations. Should you face an emergency, remember to call 911. Please be aware of weather conditions when accessing the facility after hours.
Respecting Our 24/7 Guidelines
At the Y, our values guide everything we do, including our 24/7 facility access. To maintain a safe and welcoming environment, we have established a Code of Conduct and Facility Guidelines. All members must adhere to these rules, including using personal barcodes to enter and exit the building.
Violations of our 24/7 policies, such as sharing barcodes or granting access to others, will result in immediate termination of 24/7 access and possibly your Y membership. Let’s work together to keep our space safe and secure for everyone.
Stay Secure
Your barcode is your key to fitness freedom at the Y. It grants you access to our facilities, but it’s important to use it responsibly. Ensure the door closes behind you, don’t hold the door for others, and never share your barcode. We monitor who is in the building to maintain a safe environment for everyone.
