By Madeline Faber, Memphis Daily News - The YMCA will open its 11th Memphis-area branch in Crosstown Concourse in partnership with the Church Health Center. “(The Church Health YMCA) is maybe one of the most exciting things we have done, said Keith Johnson, president and CEO of the YMCA of Memphis & the Mid-South. The 25,000-square-foot gym will open within the Church Health Center’s 150,000-square-foot headquarters sometime early next year.

Johnson said that the Church Health YMCA will be similar in offerings to other area branches but will have a unique shape to accommodate the architecture of Crosstown Concourse, a former Sears regional distribution center being reinvented as a mixed-use complex. Plans for the facility include fitness equipment, a walking track, group workout and dance classes, personal training, physical therapy and programming for the intellectually disabled.
