Recognizing this need, The Ridge YMCA at Capital Credit Union has introduced a new amenity aimed at enhancing the member experience and promoting self-care: massage chairs. Available for booking 45-minute time slots (one per member per day), these massage chairs offer a convenient way for members to maximize their recovery or simply take some well-deserved time for themselves.

Situated in private rooms adjacent to the locker room entrances, the massage chairs provide a relaxing space where members can escape the hustle and bustle of their daily lives.
