📣It's Wellness Wednesday 🤩

Our staff don't just cheer you on—they join the challenges too! 💪

These two are rocking their YMCA challenge gear, earned by showing up, putting in the work, and staying committed to their goals.

That's what our challenges are all about.

Three times a year, we create opportunities to stay motivated, try something new, and build momentum together.

And yes, the gear is pretty awesome. 😄

But the best thing you earn is the confidence that comes from sticking with it.

We'll see you at the next challenge!

💙Member Monday 💙

"I can bring what I have... and it is enough." That’s the lesson.

One of our 2025 Club 180 participants, Teri, said it best.

You don’t have to be the strongest person in the room.
You don’t need the perfect schedule.
You don’t have to feel "ready."

You just have to show up with what you have that day.

Some days it’s energy.
Some days it’s grit.
Some days it’s simply the decision not to quit.

At the Buena Vista Y, that’s enough. 💙

Club 180 isn’t about 180 perfect workouts. It’s about 180 decisions to walk through the door and invest in yourself.

Some visits will feel strong.
Some will feel slow.
Every single one counts.

If you’ve been waiting for the "right time" to start your journey, consider this your sign.

This is it.

Keep showing up. We'll be here cheering you on every step of the way. 💪✨

💪 Functional Friday 💪

These 10 strong women showed up, worked hard, encouraged each other, and reminded us that strength comes in many forms! Functional fitness helps improve balance, mobility, strength, and confidence for everyday life — and this group continues to inspire every week.

We were also so happy to welcome two new friends to class today! ❤️ There’s always room for more smiles, support, and strong friendships at the Y.

💙 Wellness Wednesday 💙

Cardio and circuit training are great ways to improve heart health, increase energy, and support balance and mobility at any age.

One helpful tool during exercise is heart rate tracking. Watching your heart rate can help you stay in a safe and effective range while getting the most benefit from your workout.

Heart rate tracking can help you exercise smarter — not just harder. Remember, every step, pedal, and movement counts toward a healthier heart and stronger body. Keep moving and keep taking care of YOU! ❤️

💪 Member Monday: Meet Donna 💪

At 77 years young, Donna is proving it’s never too late to start strength training!

For over a year, Donna regularly asked our Buena Vista YMCA training staff questions about strength training before finally deciding to give our Functional Strength class a try. Now, after a couple months of lifting heavier loads — she has the same message week after week:

“I wish I had done this years ago!”

Donna’s story is a reminder that building strength improves confidence, energy, balance, and everyday life at any age. We are so proud of her commitment and progress!

👏 Help us celebrate Donna in the comments below!

💚 Friendship Friday 💚

May is Mental Health Awareness Month, and one of the most important things we can do for our mental well-being is stay connected with others.

At the YMCA, connection happens every day — through group fitness classes, friendly conversations in the lobby, youth programs, volunteer opportunities, and supportive communities that help people feel seen and valued. A simple smile, workout partner, or shared experience can make a meaningful difference.

You are never alone at the Y. Together, we build stronger spirits, healthier minds, and a more connected community.
