This is a wellness-only YMCA offering a personalized workout for all levels, ages 14 & up.
Grin and bear it! 😁
When your legs are saying, “Why are we doing this,” but your face says, “I’m having a SO MUCH fun!” 💪
We use the term "fun" loosly around here. 😂

Member Monday: Meet one of our amazing 2025 Club 180 Members, Lisa!
“The Buena Vista Y is close to my home, so when the weather isn’t conducive to walking outside, I can still get in a great workout.
I’ve been shown that my rowing technique wouldn’t get me across the Papio Creek… but now I think I can row the Atlantic!
Walking into the Buena Vista Y is like an episode of ‘Cheers’ — everyone knows your name. I’ve met really nice people and friendly folks.”
This is what the Y is all about.
Progress. Encouragement. Community.
It’s not just about getting stronger physically — it’s about building confidence, friendships, and showing up even when the weather (or life) isn’t perfect.
Keep rowing. Keep walking. Keep showing up. 💙
💪 Fitness Friday at the YMCA! 💪
Whether you’re getting in a workout, taking a class, or simply choosing to move a little more today, every step counts. 👟
Finish the week strong, take care of yourself, and head into the weekend feeling your best! ❤️
🎂 Yesterday, we celebrated our 160th YMCA birthday by giving back to our community! ❤️
As part of our Birthday For All charitable project, YMCA staff assembled 175+ birthday cake kits to be donated to local food pantries across all five counties our YMCA serves in Nebraska and western Iowa.
Thanks to the generosity of our YMCA campers, staff and members, supplies were donated throughout the summer to make these special kits possible. Each kit includes items such as a cake pan, cake mix, frosting, soda and candles—everything families need to celebrate a birthday and create special memories together. 🎉
We are so grateful for everyone who helped make this project possible. What a beautiful way to celebrate our birthday—by spreading joy, kindness and a little sweetness throughout the communities we are blessed to serve! ❤️🎂

🎉 WELCOME BACK, KAREN! 🎉
Help us give a big Buena Vista YMCA welcome back to Karen! 💙
Karen was part of our team when the Buena Vista YMCA first opened and has definitely been missed while she took some time away to focus on school.
Be sure to say hello and give Karen a warm welcome when you see her around the Y. 👋
You can catch her Mondays, Tuesdays, and in our Saturday rotation!
Welcome back, Karen—we’re excited to have you back at Buena Vista! 🥰💪

We loved welcoming Erik Servellon, Development and Communications Director for OneWorld Community Health Centers and YMCA of Greater Omaha Metro Board member, to the Buena Vista YMCA Express for an awareness tour last week.
From members building confidence with EGYM, to adults prioritizing their health, to seniors finding connection and community, the visit was a powerful reminder that the Y’s impact is best experienced in person.
What made the visit especially meaningful was the opportunity to share stories of members who have regained strength, confidence, and connection, both mentally and physically. As we celebrate 160 years of serving the metro, these moments matter.
Awareness tours bring our community closer to our mission, turning stories into experiences and strengthening the partnerships that help make our work possible.
Thank you, Erik, for spending time with us and for being part of the YMCA’s legacy of strengthening community!

💪 TRY MX4 AT THE BUENA VISTA YMCA EXPRESS! 💪
The Buena Vista YMCA Express is the only YMCA location featuring MX4 circuit classes—with several offerings throughout the week!
MX4 combines the energy of a group workout with the personalized attention of a trainer-led session. And compared to the average group exercise class, MX4 puts a greater emphasis on strength training, helping you build strength while also working on cardio, mobility, balance, and functional movement.
✨ Why try MX4?
🏋️ More strength training than a typical group exercise class
👋 Small-group setting with personal-trainer leadership
🎯 Immediate assistance with form and technique
💪 Encouragement and motivation throughout your workout
🔄 Circuit-style training that keeps you moving
📅 Several class options throughout the week
Whether you're new to strength training or ready to add more to your routine, MX4 offers the guidance, variety, and support to help you get more out of your workout.
👉 Visit the link for class descriptions and times, then come check out the MX4 setup for yourself! https://buenavistaymcaexpress.schedulista.com/
Small group. More strength. Personal attention. Big results. 💙
