The YMCA of Northwest Florida has announced that the Community YMCA at Gulf Breeze will close on Monday, Aug. 26, for total renovation to serve its growing membership better.

The location, formerly Gulf Breeze Aerobics & Fitness, has doubled its membership since the Y took over in December 2022. YMCA leadership has determined that closure will allow the fastest, safest, and most cost-effective approach to this floor-to-ceiling renovation, which will reopen before the end of the year.
