Stuck? The Y Can Help!

While we celebrated with gratitude last Thursday, the epic winter storm in the days that followed left many of us feeling stuck — both literally and figuratively. Whether you’ve finished off the pumpkin pie while watching your driveway fill with snow; are going a little stir crazy from being stuck in the house; or are feeling certain muscles for the first time after all the shoveling, the Y can help!

Members always have access to the Y’s mobile app as part of their membership. Y360 has thousands of videos to help you and your family get moving, get centered or get creative. In honor of the Black Friday Storm of 2024, here are a few of our favorites:
