“The more that you read, the more things you will know. The more that you learn, the more places you’ll go.”

We are thrilled to announce that our new and improved Fall 2 fitness lineup will include Strength Train Together.
In a format that’s comparable to Body Pump, Strength Train Together will blast all your muscles with a high-rep weight training workout. Using an adjustable barbell, weight plates and body weight, this workout combines squats, lunges, presses and curls, with functional integrated exercises.
Dynamic music and a motivating group atmosphere will get your heart rate up, make you sweat and push you to a personal best. Come see for yourself!

Children in the C.W. Avery Family YMCA’s summer day camp program had the opportunity to learn about the importance of healthy eating while tending to the YMCA’s garden this summer thanks to the generosity of longtime member and Y supporter Gus Rousonelos.
This spring, Gus purchased and planted all the seeds and plants for the garden to ensure it was already growing when the kids arrived on the first day of summer camp.
Rousonelos also teamed up with part-time staff member Melissa Vidito to speak with the campers each week about gardening and nutrition. Campers even had the opportunity to taste test a variety of different fruits and vegetables throughout the summer.
