Corn Fest is back, boasting a theme that truly hits home: Small Town Living at Its Best. Like Grundy County, the Y is filled with individuals from small town communities. Our membership base extends from Morris to Coal City and Mazon to Seneca and beyond.

Throughout Corn Fest, we’ll be spotlighting Y members who represent these communities. Folks who embrace the Y the same way they embrace their neighbors—with pride, respect and enthusiasm. We hope you follow along and enjoy getting to know them. We know we sure have.

Day 1: David Alford
Day 2: Patricia Cravens
Day 3: The Wright Family
Day 4: Gayla and Rick Barla
Day 5: Ken Miller

Because we know that healthy lifestyles are best achieved by nurturing our mind, body and spirit, well-being and fitness at the Y is so much more than just working out. Beyond fitness facilities, we provide educational programs to promote healthier decisions and provide the support you need to achieve your goals one workout at a time.

Complimentary Fitness Consultations
Facility Members are encouraged to meet with a member of our fitness staff for a free one-hour fitness consultation. During this session, our staff will help you to identify your health and wellness goals, provide you with a fitness evaluation, an orientation in our Wellness Center, and provide you with an overview of our group exercise and personal training programs.

Free to Facility Members, Fitness Consultations can be scheduled on Tuesdays and Thursdays this summer from 10-11 a.m. and between 4-6 p.m.

Teen Wellness Center Certifications
Required for teens who wish to have access to our Wellness Center, this class is designed to provide youth, ages 13-15, with a comprehensive and informative training so they can properly utilize strength and cardio equipment. Participants will be required to pass a written and practical test the day of the course to receive certification.

Wellness Center Certifications can be scheduled on Tuesdays and Thursdays this summer from 10-11 a.m. and between 4-6 p.m
