Realistic Resolutions You Can Make Right Now – for FREE!

27 November 2015 - by Nicole Meredith
Most of us make New Year’s resolutions that involve exercising regularly and sticking to a healthy diet. Come March, most of these lofty promises to ourselves have gone out the window.

This year, don’t put off your healthy living goals until January 1st. We want to help you get started now. November 30th is the last day of our FREE 2-Week Pass to Try the Y. This is the perfect time to explore all of our amenities, activities, and group fitness classes to find which fitness solutions are the best fit for you.

Why start today?


The only way to build a healthy lifestyle is to make small but steady changes, starting right now. To stay inspired and motivated, you’ll need the support of friends who share your commitment to a healthier, happier future.

  • If you have kids, you’ll get to explore our family-friendly programs that let you make memories with your loved ones while getting active together.

  • If you’re looking to build a more sustainable, stress free life, you can check out our zen-promoting yoga and Tai Chi classes, or enjoy some peace and quiet during a solo swim.

  • If you struggle to stay motivated, you’ll love our high-energy group fitness classes, where you can meet new friends who will help hold you accountable to your new exercise routine.


Whatever your individual needs and preferences, the YMCA has something for you. Wrap up 2015 on a high note by making the decision to build the healthy lifestyle you’ve always dreamed of living. Today, you have the chance to stop procrastinating and start doing!

You still have time to visit our Try the Y site and begin your journey to better health and living. That’s two weeks with no pressure to find what works for you - you have nothing to lose and everything to gain!
