Part of YWCA Metro Vancouver fonds
Providing physical fitness services alongside other wellness activities was an early function of YWCA Metro Vancouver. The organization introduced physical training classes between 1912 and 1914 and expanded its offerings after the opening of a new gymnasium in 1924. Fitness programming first encompassed classes such as marching, calisthenics, aesthetic and folk dancing, as well as athletic sports such as basketball and grass hockey. These physical fitness courses were offered alongside adult education classes including English literature, Bible study, French, dress-making, and shorthand. Over the following decades, the YWCA further developed its fitness courses, programs, and clubs alongside its adult education offerings at its central program building, Pender Y, various branch Y’s, and off-premises with Y clubs and at city-wide events. In 1957, a pool was added to YWCA facilities and swimming courses and programs were introduced. In the 1960s, the YWCA responded to an increase in Vancouver community centres and public facilities by moving towards courses focused on “social development” and “development of the individual.” 1964 saw the introduction of classes such as “Yoga-Psycho-Therapy,” “Judo: the Art of Self Defense,” and yoga camps. During the 1970s, the YWCA focused on fitness for special interest groups with its post mastectomy, prenatal, and osteoporosis programs. In 1994, YWCA Metro Vancouver opened its Health + Fitness Centre in its Hornby building. Programs center around its facilities including a pool, gymnasium with machines and weights, two studios for various classes, and pickleball court.
