As summer winds down and fall rhythms return, many of us crave more than just a routine. We’re seeking purpose, inspiration, and a place to truly belong.
That’s where the Y comes in.
More than a gym, the Y is your “third place.” It becomes your home away from home, work, or school. A welcoming community hub where you feel empowered, supported, and inspired. Here, you’re not just working out, you’re also making connections and joining a community that shows up for your goals and meets you where you are.
"In this age of isolation and loneliness, people need community. I think the Y is one of those institutions in society that offers a safe place to come and make connections and be healthy—not just body, but soul and mind, the whole package. I'm a huge fan of the Y.”
— YMCA Volunteer Coach
How the Y Can Serve as Your Third Place:
Opportunities to connect with new people in groups and clubs
Equipment for all bodies and abilities and free tutorials with Kickstart
Family-friendly atmosphere where all ages can find fun activities
Resources for health conditions like diabetes, chronic disease, and cancer
A place to belong and thrive where each day is a new opportunity
The Y is unique in its ability to bring together friends and neighbors, build relationships, and connect people from many backgrounds. We stay active together, learn new things side by side, and combat the epidemic of loneliness, reaching those most at risk like seniors and teens and everyone in between.
From group exercise classes, youth programs, and sports leagues to community events and volunteer opportunities, our community builds meaningful connections within our walls, where each person is committed to a healthy future for all.
