Building a Healthier Future for All
The YMCA of Collier County is dedicated to providing accessible and equitable health and wellness resources for all generations. We're excited to announce plans for a new 17,000 square foot Healthy Living Center in Marco Island. This state-of-the-art facility will expand our current offerings and better serve the growing needs of our community.
Why a New Center?
While our South Campus has been a vital hub for Marco Island and the surrounding area, some of our facilities have become outdated and overcrowded. We believe that everyone deserves access to quality fitness, nutrition, and healthcare programs. The new Healthy Living Center will allow us to:
• Expand our program offerings: Provide a wider range of activities and classes for all ages and fitness levels.
• Improve our facilities: Create a modern and welcoming environment for our members and the community.
• Increase accessibility: Ensure that everyone, regardless of their background or financial situation, can benefit from our programs and services.
Join us in building a healthier future for Collier County. Learn more about our plans and how you can support this exciting project.
A Sneak Peek Inside the New Healthy Living Center
The Good Morning Marco team recently sat down with John Riley from the YMCA of Collier County to give you an exclusive behind-the-scenes look at the future of health and wellness on Marco Island. The episode takes you through the construction site of the brand-new Healthy Living Center, exploring detailed 3D renderings and reviewing the building plans. This is the official vision for a modern space designed to bring our community together, keeping fitness, family, and healthy living at the heart of it all.
