Strongest Year Yet!

People who are physically active are healthier, feel better, and are less likely to develop many chronic diseases, such as cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes, and several types of cancer than those who are inactive.

Regular, moderate-to-vigorous physical activity also reduces feelings of anxiety and depression and improves sleep and quality of life.

Exercise isn’t just about fitness. It’s one of the best ways to guard your body against viruses and disease.

Right now, you have access to a remedy proven to:

  • Improve immunity and inflammatory responses to viral infections
  • Reduce the effects of psychological and physiological stress 
  • Help maintain a healthy weight and fight obesity
  • Help treat most of the pre-existing chronic conditions that predict susceptibility to COVID-19 and other illnesses

That’s right, it’s the action your health care provider has been recommending for years – PHYSICAL ACTIVITY. Virtually every health organization in the U.S. and globally recommends that all people exercise regularly, no matter what age or ability level you are, regardless of how experienced you may be in a wellness center. 

We’re ready to help you get started!

At the Y, your membership includes everything you need to prioritize your well-being – unlimited high-intensity group exercise classes like TRX®, Boot Camp, and Beast Mode™, as well as unlimited lower-impact options like cycle classes, aqua classes, line dancing, and ZUMBA®.
