2019 was a great year of inspiring growth and development at our Y. Using your comments and feedback, we were able to make changes to enhance your daily Y experience with programs, classes and even additional equipment. You voted the Bear Levin Studer Family YMCA for Best of the Coast fitness gym, a recognition that we do not take lightly. It has been our mission and our pleasure to provided exceptional service to you, our members, and we want to keep this momentum moving us in the right direction.
Here’s a look at what’s to come in 2020.
Family fun events such as the Great Pumpkin Dunk and Santa at the Y with Underwater Christmas Tree Lighting, concluded a successful year. These events and others like them inspire us to do more in 2020. Some opportunities to experience the YMCA in a whole new way are activities such as an indoor triathlon or a 3-on-3 lunch time basketball league. You will even have the opportunity to invite friends to join you in our first annual Fit Fest, a fitness party showcasing our group fitness classes and talented Instructors. Can you think of anything that you would like to see at the Y? We would love to hear about programs you would like to participate in or causes that are dear to you.
As you requested, we are making plans to add more classes to our Group Fitness schedule. Your instructors are committed to bringing you the best fitness experience each day and in each class. Starting in January, we will add more functional and mind-body classes such as TRX and Soul Body Barre to keep you committed and motivated in 2020.
We also plan to enhance our community programming in collaboration with the Andrews Institute, ARC Gateway, and Baptist Healthcare. These program initiatives will focus on community health, nutrition and social development that coincides with the needs of our diverse population of members.
As 2019 comes to a close, we would like to say thank you to each one of you for the opportunity to make an impact in your lives. Whether it was a smiling face or an extra round of pickleball, we hope that we enhanced your wellness and fitness in some way. 2020 is going to be even better.
