We build strong Kids, Strong Families, Strong Communities
|
Winter hours effective Sept. 8th The Oneonta Family YMCA, a non-profit charitable organization, is a fellowship of persons of all ages, creeds and classes united in the common effort to develop the body, mind and spirit of our families, our communities, and ourselves through activities guided by and based up on Christian principles. For more than 130 years the Oneonta Family YMCA has provided safe and caring environments, positive role models, creative activities and opportunities to serve the needs of others. These are essential building blocks for strong kids, strong families and strong communities. Everyone belongs at
the Oneonta Family YMCA. At the YMCA, we're more than
just a place to work out. We're a place where you can be
yourself. Whether you're just starting on the road to
health and wellness or a veteran, you'll feel comfortable |
 It’s that time of year; you know when we put even more on our already full plates! Our busy lives become even busier and it is even more difficult to get our workouts in. Do not fall victim to the mind trap that when you do get to squeeze in a workout which you should go “all out.” Instead, when you squeeze in a workout you should use it to connect your body and brain, and to take some time to check in and listen to your body. Your body will tell you when it feels weak or run down, when it feels strong and that it usually feels better after moderate exercise sessions. Moderate intensity exercise calms the body and the brain and fills it with energy. Moderate exercise also allows you to break a good sweat helping to release toxins and filling you up with endorphins. Moderate intensity exercise is a great way to take care of yourself so that you can joyfully give to others! Not sure where to start? We offer many wonderful fitness classes here at the Oneonta Family YMCA and we also offer you the opportunity to “try” a class one time. To try a class one time all you need to do is purchase a “Flex Pass” at the front desk, and then you can see if the class “works” for you. We offer several yoga and yoga based classes, great for calming the mind and strengthening your total body. We offer functional classes which improves cardiovascular endurance, muscle strength, muscle endurance and flexibility. If you need a cardio buzz we offer two “Free For Members” step classes and finally we offer Spinning classes a wonderful, non-impact cardiovascular and strength workout. When thinking about giving gifts this holiday season, don’t forget yourself! Give yourself the gift of health through exercise – a stronger heart, more energy and peace of mind. It will be the best investment you will ever make! Happy Holidays! Heidi Brantley Group X Coordinator
