Thanks to generous supporters for the possibility to install extra cameras and a front door access mag-lock system, the YMCA of the Coastal Bend is excited to now offer 24 Hour Access/ 7 Days a week to our 18 and over members. This added benefit should be appealing to shift workers and those individuals that  find it more convenient to fit a workout in on their time.
