A Place to Belong

The YMCA is a membership organization, an association of people who come together for the common good.  YMCA members tell us that the reason they join the Y, or the reason they stay, is because they like being part of something bigger than themselves; they feel a spirit of community, a sense of caring, a cause.

When you’re a member of the YMCA:

  • You’re part of a not-for-profit organization with a vision of building strong kids, strong families, and strong communities.

  • You can improve yourself through high-quality activities and programs that focus on you as a total person-in spirit, mind, and body.

  • You benefit from the stability of a charitable organization that has been operating since 1844.

  • You’re surrounded by people who care more about values like honesty and respect than what you’re wearing or what you look like.

  • You’re a member of a community that welcomes and embraces people of all abilities, incomes, races, and religions.

  • You can meet old friends and make new ones.

  • You join a worldwide fellowship of millions of people involved in Y’s in hundreds of countries.

  • You belong to an association that offers financial aid to people who can’t pay the full membership or program fees.

  • You know that the programs and services are offered as a way to fulfill the YMCA mission-not as a way to create corporate profits.

  • You’re as likely to hear the voices of preschoolers as you are the laughter of older adults, and the conversations of teens.

  • You’re encouraged to put the Y mission into action by sharing time, talent, and treasure as a volunteer or donor.

  • You have fun!

If you’re not a member of the YMCA, please join us. If you are, we’d love for you to become more involved. To find out more, please talk to the YMCA staff at the courtesy counter, or to any staff member or volunteer that you know.

FITLINXX

FitLinxxPower your Fitness Program with Fitlinxx® ! Imagine getting instant feedback and coaching at the YMCA while you exercise on strength and cardiovascular machines PLUS having access to your workout history at the YMCA or on-line. Whether you’re a 20-year exercise veteran or just starting your workout program, by using Fitlinxx®, the YMCA staff can help you achieve your results.

Fitlinxx® is an exercise technology system that offers a unique tool for you to maximize your time in the YMCA and minimize exercise anxiety through interactive coaching on each piece of equipment.  Fitlinxx® remembers your seat settings, range of motion, and weight lifted on each piece of strength equipment, to ensure a safe and effective workout.  Additionally, on the cardiovascular equipment, with the simple entry of a 5-digit PIN number, Fitlinxx® will automatically track what you completed on that machine.  Fitlinxx® will then allow you to generate progress reports, which are conveniently emailed to you each month and are also available at the YMCA.  The software is easy to use, with no extra keys, fees or cards necessary.  Teens 13-15 who have successfully completed the Teen Weight Training class may schedule Fitlinxx® orientation.  And the best part?  It’s FREE with your YMCA Membership!

To get your orientation, contact the YMCA at (419)739-9622.
