Week Two | Theme: Team- Find your community

It’s Week 2 of the YMCA Strong Challenge, and this week’s all about teaming up! Let’s face it—reaching your fitness and wellness goals is way more fun when you’ve got people in your corner. Whether it’s your family, friends, or workout buddies at the Y, having a team keeps you motivated, energized, and ready to crush it!

Here’s the thing: when you’ve got people cheering you on, pushing you, and celebrating every win, it’s a total game-changer. You’re more likely to stick to your goals, feel good, and maybe even enjoy the process! Plus, sharing your ups and downs with your community makes everything more exciting.

So, this week, grab a friend, join a class, or rally your family for a workout! The Y’s got your back, and together, we’re unstoppable. Because when we team up, we get stronger—together!

Find Your Community- Find your Y!

This week at the YMCA, we’re all about teamwork! Achieving your fitness goals is easier when you’ve got a supportive community behind you. Whether you’re a member or thinking about joining, there’s no better time to embrace the power of community. Invite a friend, rally your family, or meet new workout buddies at the Y. Just ask Mike, a member who says, “Having my friends join the Y made all the difference—now we push each other, and I’ve never felt more motivated!”

Join the YMCA this week (September 23-30), and you’ll skip the enrollment fee! Already a member? Invite your friends to join and build your team together. But don’t wait—fees go up October 1! Find your community, find your Y, and let's get stronger together!
