COMING VERY SOON TO THE Y!

The Matrix Glute Trainer is coming to the Sanford-Springvale YMCA!

More stability. More control. Serious lower-body training. And a setup that's approachable for beginners while still ready for experienced lifters who want to MOVE SOME WEIGHT.

We're continuing to invest in our Wellness Center and give our members more ways to get stronger, challenge themselves and keep progressing.

Take a look at what's coming... đź‘€

BIG NEWS: YOUR DAY JUST GOT A LITTLE MORE ROOM.

Life doesn’t always wrap up neatly by 8:00 PM.

Work runs late. Dinner happens. Kids have practices. Schedules get busy. And sometimes, the time you finally have for yourself comes a little later than you planned.

So we’re making more time for you.

Starting Monday, September 7, the Sanford-Springvale YMCA will be OPEN UNTIL 9:00 PM, MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY!

That’s another hour to get your workout in, finish your day strong, decompress after work, or simply fit the Y into a schedule that doesn’t always cooperate.

NEW WEEKDAY FACILITY HOURS
Beginning September 7
Monday-Friday: Open until 9:00 PM

Please note: Pool hours will remain the same.

We’ve heard how valuable that additional evening hour could be for our members, and we’re excited to make it happen.

Because serving our community isn’t just about opening our doors.

It’s about keeping them open when you need them.

More time. More flexibility. More opportunity to make the Y part of your day.

There’s No Place Like This Place.

COMING THIS FALL TO THE Y!

STRONGER STARTS HERE AT THE Y

Our new Matrix Glute Trainer is coming this fall, bringing one of the most effective lower-body movements into a more stable, comfortable and accessible setup for our members.

More Stability & Control
Traditional barbell hip thrusts require you to stabilize the bar, maintain your position on a bench and control the weight throughout the movement. The Glute Trainer provides a controlled movement path and stable upper-body position, allowing you to focus on hip extension and the muscles doing the work.

Comfortable Progressive Loading
Instead of balancing a heavily loaded barbell across the pelvis, the Glute Trainer distributes resistance across a larger padded area, making increased resistance more comfortable as you build strength.

A More Controlled Way to Finish a Hard Set
As you approach fatigue with a barbell hip thrust, you still have to manage a free barbell across your hips. The Glute Trainer's fixed structure and defined start-and-stop position provide a simpler, more controlled way to end a challenging set.

Consistency Builds Progress
By reducing variables like bench position, bar placement and stabilization, it's easier to repeat quality reps, track improvement and progressively increase resistance.

More Focus on the Glutes
With less attention spent balancing and positioning the weight, you can concentrate on controlled hip extension, a strong contraction and quality repetitions, helping make the glutes the limiting factor instead of the setup.

Barbell hip thrusts remain an excellent exercise. The Matrix Glute Trainer simply makes this powerful movement more accessible, repeatable and comfortable for a wider range of members, from those just beginning to experienced lifters ready to challenge themselves.

At the Y, new equipment isn't just about adding another machine. It's about giving more people more ways to move, grow stronger and feel confident in their fitness journey.

Coming this fall. When it arrives, our Wellness team will be here to help you get started.

There's No Place Like This Place to get stronger.

Celebrating Nina and Her Next Chapter at the Y!

Please join us in celebrating Nina and an exciting next step in her journey with the Sanford-Springvale YMCA!

Nina joined our Y nearly two years ago as a member of our Kids Connect team. From the beginning, her reliability, positive attitude, and ability to make strong decisions stood out. Through her hard work and commitment, she earned the opportunity to grow into a Member Services Representative, where she continued to prove herself as someone our members and her teammates could count on.

Now, Nina is taking another big step forward as she transitions into our Early Learning Center, working under ELC Director Liz Reynolds!

Watching our staff grow within the Y is something worth celebrating. Nina has continued to embrace new opportunities, take on new challenges, and demonstrate her commitment to our mission and core values of Caring, Honesty, Respect, and Responsibility.

Nina's journey is also a great example of what a career at the YMCA can become. The Y is a place where people can start in one role, discover new strengths, take on new responsibilities, and find opportunities to grow. For those looking to build a career rooted in integrity, purpose, and making a positive impact, there is room to grow here.

Nina, thank you for the excitement, dedication, and energy you have brought to every role you've held at our Y. We are proud of your growth, grateful that you continue to choose the Sanford-Springvale YMCA as part of your journey, and excited to see what comes next!

Congratulations, Nina! Your Y family is cheering you on!

LIVESTRONG® at the YMCA Cancer Survivor Program

LIVESTRONG® at the YMCA is a free, supportive program designed to help individuals living with, through, or beyond cancer rebuild strength, confidence, and connection.

Led by a certified instructor in a welcoming small-group setting, this evidence-based program meets twice a week for 90 minutes over 12 weeks. Each participant receives individualized support through cardiovascular conditioning, strength training, balance, and flexibility exercises tailored to their abilities and goals.

But LIVESTRONG® at the YMCA is about more than exercise. It provides an opportunity to connect with other cancer survivors, regain confidence, improve overall well-being, and move forward in a supportive community.

The program is completely FREE and includes a family membership for the duration of the 12-week session.

Our next session begins the week of September 14th.

For more information or to enroll, contact Merilee Perkins at [email protected] or call 207-324-4942.

Regain your strength. Rebuild your confidence. Find support and connection at the Y.
