Champaign County adults and those employed in the county are invited to “Try the Y” at the Champaign Family YMCA, 191 Community Drive, now through Wednesday, Jan. 9. The Y’s stated mission is to help people of all ages improve the quality of life through a variety of recreational and fitness programs.
“The week of Jan. 2-9 is an opportunity for anyone in Champaign County to explore the Y’s programs and facilities,” said Membership Director Greg Hower. “We’re committed to helping people of all ages become physically active and to connect them with others who aspire to lead a healthy lifestyle.”
During “Try the Y” week, local adults may try out all of the YMCA’s offerings, including the pool, hot tub, sauna, weight lifting and cardio equipment and group exercise classes. A schedule of events is available at the YMCA’s website, www.champaignfamilyymca.org.
