💙 Sometimes one small step can change everything.

After participating in a blood draw event at the Y, member Denise Nydam learned she was pre-diabetic. Instead of letting the diagnosis define her, Denise took action and enrolled in the YMCA's Diabetes Prevention Program.

Today, she's feeling stronger, healthier, and ready to continue a cherished tradition—participating in this weekend's race alongside her sister, Carol Beam. 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️

Denise's journey is a powerful reminder that knowledge is power, support matters, and positive change is possible. We're honored to be part of her story and grateful for the programs that help our community live healthier, happier lives.

Join us in cheering on Denise this Saturday! 🎉

Interested in learning more about our Diabetes Prevention Program? New classes begin in July and could be the first step in your own health journey. This is for members and non-members.

And there's still time to register for this fun family event happening Saturday!

The Y has either impacted you or someone you know in the community.

That's our mission. To make an impact.

Make an impact within our staff, our members, our youth and our community. We know that every interaction is meaningful.

We know that we need to lead with kindness and empathy to everyone that steps foot within our walls. And we take that seriously and we always strive to create strong and meaningful relationships within our organization and with you, our members.

Because we know that our Y is more than a place to come workout. It's a place to meet your friends. It's a place to be seen. It's a place to carve out that space that allows you take space for your mental health.

See what Kevin Patterson, the Chief People and Culture Officer of the YMCA has to say on this topic.

🏃

Let’s talk about recovery runs, and recovery days!

One of the biggest mistakes runners make is turning recovery days into another hard workout. Recovery runs should be easy and focused on helping your body recover from tougher training sessions.

Why are recovery days important?
✅ Help muscles repairand rebuild
✅ Reduce the risk of injury
✅ Improve overall performance
✅ Allow your body to adapt and get stronger
✅ Help you arrive at race day filling your best

Remember: not every workout should leave you exhausted. The easy days are just as important as a hard days. Recovery is where the magic happens and where stronger, faster runners are made!

We look forward to seeing you at the starting line and the finish line of the Heart and Soul race next weekend!
