As you know, we are committed to strengthening the health and wellness of our entire community, supporting your mental and physical well-being, and fostering the connections that make our YMCA so special.

That’s why we’re happy to announce a significant investment in you – our valued members! We’ve heard your feedback, and we’re taking action. The YMCA Board of Directors has approved a major $425,000 overhaul of the fitness equipment at both our Central and West Branch locations!

“Our wellness rooms are where teens connect, seniors stay active, and adults build strength in a supportive community. We know these spaces are key for physical and mental well-being, helping everyone to connect and achieve their goals. That’s why we are so excited to see these upgrades come to life!” said West Branch Operations & Community Relations Director Jackie Eade.

This exciting initiative means you’ll soon have access to modern, high-quality cardio and weight equipment to support your fitness journeys. We know many of you are looking forward to the future of East Branch, and we want to assure you that we’re also dedicated to continuously improving the facilities you use today. This parallel commitment to enhancing our existing Central and West Branches ensures that all our members across the Fox Valley Family YMCA association will benefit from upgraded and revitalized wellness spaces.

“We extend our gratitude to the board for approving these significant upgrades to our Wellness Rooms. These upgrades, which directly reflect our members’ feedback, demonstrate our commitment to providing valuable resources for your health and well-being,” said Healthy Living Director Michelle LeMaistre.

What does this mean for you? Get ready for a comprehensive update of our cardio machines and strength training areas! You’ll find a wider range of options and better functionality to help you reach your fitness goals. We’re excited to make our Wellness Rooms even more welcoming and effective for everyone.

We’ll share more details very soon about the equipment being installed and the timeline for these exciting upgrades. As we make way for this new equipment, we will share opportunities to purchase some of the existing equipment. We appreciate your patience and understanding as we work to enhance your YMCA experience.

Thank you for being a part of the Fox Valley Family YMCA! We can’t wait for you to experience these improvements.
