YMCA

 


Just about every city has one of these right? A local YMCA. It reminds me of that song by The Village People but this one has been around for literally years, in fact I remember my parents driving past it when I was growing up.

This one seems to be mainly a large fitness centre. The photo was taken last Spring when we were in Auckland City.

Linking up with All Seasons, My Sunday Snapshot, The Weekend Roundup and Weekend Reflections.

I would usually avoid YMCA where personal belongings are not secured on site

I stayed in the YWCA 50 years ago when I first went to Wellington to study. It was fine. Called the YDUB?

I remember the song. I was going to say I don't think we have the organisation here but then I checked and we do, although known by another name. Apparently even in my town there is a basketball team belonging to that organisation.

Like your new banner and our YMCA is a 10 minutes walk away and always puts my head into song :-)

Now you've given me an "earworm" -- of course I remember the song, only too well ;>).. Yes, many cities in this country have a "Y" -- in our home town in Oregon it is a YWCA though, but same thing, it serves the community with an up to date gym, programs, swimming pool,

My wife teaches exercise classes at several places in town. Her favorite is one of the local YMCA's because of the community of the participants in the classes. I like that Y and there is another one on Turkey Mountain in Tulsa which also has a great community. I'm a Y fan.

I have noticed the one in Sydney promoting itself as The Y.

I have seen many YMCAs/YWCAs but I've never stayed in one.

Hi Amy, I also grew up with a YMCA in town. I love the song, seems to still be a favorite at weddings! I see your blog each week from Tom's, this is mine. https://vesselsmemories2.blogspot.com

I recall that song vividly as well.
Haha, we even had a Malaysian rendition of it for an advertisement during the Malaysian Idol years - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Kdvosad9PY

Have a great week ahead, Amy!
