YMCA of Greater Boston – Burbank Branch Reading, MA

Reading’s Burbank YMCA, part of the YMCA of Greater Boston, is a nonprofit health and fitness center built around a full fitness center, a gymnasium and an eight-lane pool. Group exercise runs the spectrum from HIIT and Zumba to yoga, Barre and Pilates, and water fitness classes bring workouts into the pool. Pickleball, a social and friendly paddle sport drawing on tennis, badminton and ping-pong, rounds out the options.

Much of the branch’s programming focuses on kids and teens. Youth swim lessons for ages 6 to 12 help children build confidence in the water, while lap swim, family swim and water exercise also share the pool. Youth sports cover basketball, soccer, volleyball and gymnastics. The branch also runs after-school programs, and dedicated directors lead its aquatics, swim development, healthy living, teen and sports, early education and family departments.
