Belonging is more than “fitting in.” You deserve to be accepted for who you are. When you walk through our doors, you are stepping into the possibility of living your best life. Connect with a genuine community in your neighborhood and instructors who are available both in person and online. Together, we’ll take steps and offer support that fits you. 

At the Y, we believe that belonging goes beyond just fitting in with a group of people. It's about finding a place where you feel accepted and valued for who you are, and where you can be your authentic self. It's about being part of a community that supports and encourages you to grow and thrive. 

Dr. Brené Brown, a researcher and writer on the topics of vulnerability, shame, and empathy, has found that belonging is a fundamental human need. In her TED talk on the power of vulnerability, Brown discusses how the fear of not belonging can lead us to hide our true selves and try to fit in with others. However, she argues that it's only by being vulnerable and authentic that we can truly connect with others and experience a sense of belonging. 

 

We strive to create a welcoming and inclusive environment where everyone can feel a sense of belonging. Whether you're new to the community or a long-time member, we invite you to be yourself and share your unique talents and experiences with others. 

We offer a variety of fitness options, including group exercise classes, personal training, and outdoor activities, to meet the diverse interests and needs of our members. Our instructors are passionate about helping you reach your fitness goals and are dedicated to providing support and guidance along the way. 

Finding your fit at the Y is the opportunity to connect with a genuine community. The Y is more than just a place to exercise. It's a place where you can connect with others and build relationships that go beyond the gym. Our programs and events, such as our youth sports leagues and community service projects, provide opportunities for members to come together and make a positive impact on their community. 
 

We believe that belonging is essential to living a healthy and fulfilling life. We invite you to join us and find your fit at the Y. Together, we can create a supportive and inclusive community where everyone feels valued and accepted.
