February Edition

This February, join us as we celebrate Heart Health Month with heart-healthy events, programs, and initiatives to help you stay motivated and strong.

We’re also thrilled to introduce our new Group Exercise model—designed to elevate your class experience and support your wellness journey. Every change we make is rooted in our commitment to your health, well-being, and success at the Y.

Go • Grow • Flow: Find Your Balance in Group Exercise

Go • Grow • Flow is a new way to experience Group Exercise at the Y — designed to make movement clearer, more balanced, and more enjoyable for everyone.

At its core, Go • Grow • Flow reflects a simple truth: our bodies benefit most from a variety of movement.

Cardio, strength, and mobility all play an important role in helping us feel energized, strong, and well. This framework makes it easier to understand our classes and build a routine that supports your goals.

Making It Easy to Find Your Balance

You’ll begin to see Go, Grow, and Flow icons on schedules and around the facility to help you quickly identify the focus of each class and build a balanced weekly routine. Whether you’re just getting started, returning after a break, or looking to try something new, this system is designed to help you move with confidence.

At the Y, movement isn’t about perfection — it’s about progress, variety, and community. With Go • Grow • Flow, there’s always something new to try and a place for everyone to feel successful.
