Dorchester YMCA
About
Dorchester YMCA is a neighborhood branch of the YMCA of Greater Boston, offering fitness, aquatics, youth sports and community programs under one roof. Members can reserve spots in group classes such as HIIT, Zumba, yoga, Barre and Pilates, take water fitness classes in the pool, or play pickleball. For families, it offers after-school programs and youth sports, making it a hub for both adult workouts and kids’ activities in Dorchester.
Youth sports programs cover basketball, soccer, volleyball and gymnastics, led by experienced coaches with a focus on teamwork, sportsmanship and fun, and swim lessons help children build confidence in the water. Older adults have their own group: the Dorchester Healthy Aging Group organizes events and seeks partnerships with the center to enhance health, support other seniors and foster a sense of community. Anthony Attride serves as the branch’s executive director.
