May is Arthritis Awareness Month 💙

At the Gregory Family YMCA, we’re committed to creating welcoming spaces where individuals of all abilities can stay active, build strength, and find support through community.

Living with arthritis looks different for everyone, but regular movement and exercise can play an important role in improving flexibility, reducing stiffness, easing joint pain, and supporting overall wellness. Programs like aqua aerobics are especially beneficial, offering low-impact exercise that is gentle on the joints while helping improve mobility, balance, and cardiovascular health.

No matter where you are on your wellness journey, the Gregory Family YMCA is here to encourage, support, and help you move in ways that work best for you.

Join us this month in raising awareness, promoting healthy living, and supporting those impacted by arthritis. 💙

May is National Physical Fitness & Sports Month — the perfect reminder to get moving, prioritize your health, and encourage others to do the same! 💪🏽🏃‍♂️⚽

Staying active does more than improve physical fitness — it helps reduce stress, supports mental health, lowers the risk of chronic disease, and boosts overall well-being. Every step, workout, game, or walk makes a difference!

At the Y, we’re committed to helping individuals and families build healthier lifestyles through fitness programs, sports, and opportunities for all ages to stay active and connected.

Did you know children and teens need at least 60 minutes of physical activity every day? The Y provides a safe and supportive space where youth can stay active while developing leadership skills, confidence, time management, and lasting friendships.

Join us this May as we move toward healthier minds, healthier bodies, and a stronger community together!

Mental health is how we think, feel and act — and at the Gregory Family YMCA, we recognize that mental health is an important part of our overall well-being, just like physical health. 💚

This Mental Health Awareness Month, we’re encouraging our community to help normalize conversations around mental health and support one another both inside and outside the Y. This year’s theme, “More Good Days, Together,” reminds us that we are stronger when we lift each other up and create spaces where everyone feels supported and connected.

Here are a few important reminders:
✔️ We all have mental health — not just those living with a mental illness. Everyone faces challenges that can impact how we feel, think and respond.
✔️ There are simple things we can do each day to positively impact our mental health, including moving our bodies, fueling and resting well, being mindful of our emotions, connecting with others and asking for help when needed.

Together, we can create a stronger, healthier and more supportive community for all. Join the Y in helping get the conversation started this May and help us create “More Good Days, Together.”
