For more than 175 years, the YMCA has been at the heart of global sport, recreation, and wellbeing. From inventing basketball and volleyball to leading community fitness programmes across the world, we’ve always believed in the power of movement to bring people together and change lives.

At Kilmarnock YMCA, our Sports & Leisure activities continue that tradition right here in East Ayrshire. Whether it’s flexing your muscles or your mind, we provide inclusive opportunities that support health, confidence, and connection for people of all ages.

Get involved today — explore our current classes below, register your interest, and be part of a community where every session supports local people and creates brighter futures.

Breathe, stretch, and find your calm. Yoga at YMCA isn’t about being bendy. It’s about balance, confidence, and taking time for yourself. Whether you’re brand new or experienced, our classes are a chance to relax your mind and strengthen your body in a friendly, welcoming space.
