Armed forces and the YMCA

The YMCA movement (of which YMCAfit is a part) is proud of the close working relationships forged with the armed forces over the past 150 years, from deploying teams of volunteers to support front line troops during the great wars training and supporting service leavers as we do today.

YMCAfit enjoys working relationships with a wide range of services and has delivered training to service leavers from the RAF, HMS Temeraire, Royal Britannia Naval College and the Army School of Physical Training at Fox Lines.
