YMCA of Metropolitan Columbus, Georgia

Since November 18, 1856 we’re committed to strengthening the Chattahoochee Valley through Youth Development, Healthy Living, & Social Responsibility.

The YMCA of Columbus, GA works to put Christian principles into practice through programs that build a healthy spirit, mind, and body for all. We believe that lasting personal and social change can only come about when we all work together to invest in our kids, our health, and our neighbors. That's why, at the Y, strengthening community is our cause.

It's a BLAST INVASION!

Saturday, July 11
9:30AM
D.A. Turner YMCA

Group Blast is the ideal cardio and strength training for you if:

- You want an athletic, energetic, exciting, results-oriented workout.
- You are a new exerciser or getting back into fitness and are looking for cardio exercises for beginners. Look for a variety of intensity options, from step height to exercise variations.
- You want to add training variety to your workout routine, including speed, agility, strength, power, balance, coordination, and plyometrics.
- You are either experienced or brand new to step exercises, because Group Blast is more about the physical workout rather than the mental complexity of many freestyle step classes. We’ve taken out the fancy and injected some athleticism into your workout to deliver fantastic results!
