Filed under: Fitness, Healthy Habits, Healthy Places  Part of the reason that I don't belong to a gym is because I live in a city devoid of them. There's a handful of them here, but they are small, have limited equipment, and no childcare. They also all charge more per month than I paid for a membership at a large, well-equipped center when I lived in a large nearby city. But two things have changed recently that may bring me back to my gym-going ways. The first is an exciting new fitness center going in across town. The second is a brand new YMCA that's nearing completion. YMCA has been around for over 100 years, and in many communities (like my own), it's the go-to place for affordable fitness memberships. The association is stepping up their commitment to physical activity and healthy lifestyle habits with a new program that targets people who want to make exercise a part of their daily lives. Activate America isn't just an additional program, instead, YMCAs across the country are redesigning, retraining, and restructuring to help make physical fitness accessible to the average American. Pretty exciting, huh? You can read more about Activate America here. Read | Permalink | Email this | Comments
