Y 170 Challenge

Our YMCA was founded September 27,1852 and we could not think of a better way to celebrate than to activate our community. That’s right, move something and adopt a healthy active lifestyle as prescribed by the US Department of Health and Human Services, which recommends that adults exercise 150 to 300 minutes each week to help prevent chronic illnesses.

Each week you exercise and log 170 minutes per week January 1 – September 18, 2022 you are another move closer to winning $1,852. There will also be monthly giveaways: including gifts cards for food, merchandise Y gear, free YMCA memberships and more.
