🌟 Cause Driven Leader of the Month: September 2026 🌟

Please join us in congratulating Kim Campbell as our Cause Driven Leader of the Month for September!

Kim truly embodies the spirit of "See It Through." Whether stepping up to teach additional formats, filling gaps when needed, or embracing new opportunities to grow, Kim is always willing to go the extra mile to make a positive impact.

While many know Kim as an outstanding Step instructor, she is so much more than that. Her dedication to learning, versatility, teamwork, and commitment to serving our members helps create exceptional Group Exercise experiences and allows us to reach more members, meet more needs, and strengthen our fitness community.

Thank you, Kim, for your positivity and unwavering commitment to making a difference. We are grateful for all you do and proud to recognize you as our September Cause Driven Leader of the Month! 💙👏

Our Monthly Fitness Challenge is here and ready to put your endurance to the test! 🏃‍♀️🔥

Think you can conquer the Stepmill? Your challenge is to complete 20 flights in 5 minutes on the Stepmill machine. Push your pace, challenge yourself and see if you can make it to the top!

Complete the challenge by the end of the month and add your name to the challenge board for a chance to win a free t-shirt. Let’s climb together!

Our first practice of the season happened to land on one of the hottest days, but that didn’t stop these runners! We found some much-needed shade, tackled the hills, and worked on breathing and proper running form. It was a hot one, but the Lightning Bolts showed up ready to work! We’re off to a great start!

💪 Strong instructors create stronger classes!

Our Group Exercise team recently spent time sharpening their skills through a Les Mills BODYPUMP™ Master Class and professional development sessions focused on Mind-Muscle Connection and Coaching Vertical Drive.
Why does this matter? Because every opportunity to learn helps our instructors bring more energy, knowledge, and effectiveness into the classes that you love! These trainings provide valuable tools to help members move better, connect with their workouts, and achieve their fitness goals.
We're proud of our instructors for their commitment to growth and for continually investing in the member experience! 👏

Compassion comes in many forms: a helping hand, an encouraging word, or simply showing up when someone needs you.

That's what makes Quill so special. Her kindness has touched both members and staff, from offering practical support during a health challenge to sharing encouragement that lifted someone's spirits when they needed it most.

Quill's caring heart makes our YMCA a better place every day. Thank you for being such a bright light in our community!💙
