No. The facility will remain open during construction. Portions of the facility may be temporarily impacted at times during the construction. However, the Y remains committed to providing alternate options whenever possible.

This project will provide a facelift and upgrades to areas throughout the older part of the Y. Specific areas that are a part of this project include: Xerzone, main entrance and lobby, and fitness center. Additionally, the exterior façade will receive repairs and new paint.

The facility improvement project at the Schlossman YMCA will include a variety of finish upgrades and upgraded amenities for our members and community. The aging portions of the facility will receive new flooring, paint, furniture, and lighting. The Xerzone will be reimagined as a more intentional community minded space. Newly renovated amenities will feature the introduction of a turf area to the Schlossman Fitness Center, additional express lockers, better traffic flow in the lobby area reimagined community spaces, improved member desk and more!

As we move throughout the project, the Y will update the Schlossman YMCA page with project updates and on our social media pages.

You will still have access to the Schlossman facility during construction! Beginning May 27, and continuing while the lobby portion of the project is underway, the facility will be accessed through the After Hours Access door on the south side of the building. The hallway from the Fitness Center to the stairway will be open and accessible. Other amenities including Group Fitness Classes, Climbing Wall, PlayLoft, Fitness Center, basketball gym, etc will remain open and available for use during this time.

Beginning July 15 and continuing while the fitness center portion of the project is underway, EGYM will be temporarily available in the Xerzone.

In addition to the temporary fitness spaces, members are also able to utilize YMCA360 providing access to livestream and on-demand options at home, on the go or any time they need.

If you’re looking to take your work out outside the facility, the Y is offering additional fitness challenges and classes for members during the summer including the Rise & Shine Bootcamp, Summer Weight Loss Challenge, Tour de Fargo and more! The Y is partnering to provide options for activity throughout the community with Yoga in the Park and more.

Beginning July 15 and continuing while improvements limit the access to Playtown, a temporary drop in child care for children ages 6 weeks through 8 years will be available in the Playloft, Monday- Thursday 8:30 am – 1:30 pm and 4:00-7:30 pm; Friday-Saturday 8:30 am-1:30 pm; and Sunday 2:00-6:00 pm.

As always, Fercho YMCA is available for members to use.

Opened in 1997, our facility was at an age and condition that required a facelift to key high-traffic areas in order to improve the overall member experience. The YMCA chose to implement this project over the summer months to allow for exterior work to be done.
