In 2023, we know you’ll see many ‘New Year, New You’ messages and we want you to know that at the Y we understand not everyone is the same and not everyone needs a ‘New You.’ Some of us just need new options, more support and genuine encouragement to start or stay on a path to health and wellness. The fact is, everyone’s health goals are different and the Y has many options for you to find what works for you, your busy schedule and, perhaps most important, what motivates you to focus on what is best for you.
The Y is here to help with hundreds of group exercise classes, Yoga, strength training, cycle and Zumba. There are also aqua fitness classes with new innovative equipment in our pools to ease impact on joints and muscles. PLUS, the virtual platform YMCA360 offers options brought to you from Ys across the country, providing virtual classes for you in the comfort of your own home. Our membership team, health and wellness instructors and personal trainers can help you find what works for you from exercise and mindfulness classes to nutrition support.
Our YMCA has a state-of-the-art fitness floor with top-of-the-line cardio equipment, strength and conditioning areas as well as a functional training space to meet your fitness needs.
Check out some exciting things we have planned for 2023.
Family activities
Daily options for open and family swim in our pools. On the weekends, we have our water slide and Wibit (water obstacle course) open for kids to enjoy some fun water activities.
Daily options for open gymnastics times. Opportunities for children to run around, jump, roll and flip on the mats to get their energy out in a safe way.
Our gymnasium is for open basketball or to get the young ones’ energy out in our bounce house.
Weekly options for children of all ages including Zumbini, Kids Kickboxing and parent/child classes in each of our program areas.
Need a night out or time to run an errand? Each week, our Y offers Parent Friday Night Out and Weekends at the Y (on Saturday) where you can drop off your school-age children and our staff will keep them safe while engaging in fun activities, including gymnastics, swimming and games.
We hold special events throughout the year for our members, like our Winter Family Party, Fall Festival and ‘Head to the Hill 5k Road Race.
