Cherokee Nation partners with YWCA Tulsa to cut gym costs

Cherokee Nation citizens looking to join a YWCA gym in Tulsa will soon pay less, thanks to a new partnership between the tribe and YWCA Tulsa.

The initiative, called the Public Health and Wellness Fitness Partners Program , will cover half of gym membership fees for Cherokee citizens who join one of YWCA Tulsa’s facilities.

Where the program applies

All YWCA Tulsa locations are participating, including the Patti Johnson Wilson Center at 21st Street and Lewis Avenue and the East Community Center at 17th Street and Memorial Drive.

Other fitness partnerships across the tribe

The Cherokee Nation already has similar gym membership agreements in place across its reservation. Partner locations include the YMCA of Greater Tulsa, the Richard Kane YMCA of Bartlesville and the Muskogee Swim an
