Virtual YMCA To Provide Wellness On The Go 24/7
The YMCA of Greater Fort Wayne announces a brand-new Virtual YMCA platform to continue to support the overall health and wellness of area children, adults and families. The platform includes over 20 live classes and 50 on-demand videos for group exercise, well-being and youth sports with new content added weekly. The accessibility of a virtual Y allows participants to experience great YMCA classes and programs when unable to visit their local Y.
Virtual workouts have been designed for motivation and ease-of-use at home with something for everyone from youth through older adults. Users can sort categories to find preferred classes and customize their experience through a favorites dashboard. The platform is currently free to the community and will always be included as part of a Y membership.
“We are excited to feature a variety of instructors to lead on-demand video workouts and livestream classes,” stated Tabitha Ervin, District Executive Director of the YMCA of Greater Fort Wayne. “Making the Y available on the go keeps us connected with our community through activities that support a healthy spirit, mind and body from home or on the road 24 hours a day seven days a week,” she added.
The ease of the platform allows participants to enjoy a variety of activities ranging from Active Older Adult classes to guitar instruction for youth. Avid exercisers can take advantage of the flexibility of on-demand work outs including cardio and cycling. Those who prefer strength training can experience barre and meditation. Beginning exercisers will enjoy expert in-home instruction while being part of a group. Experts agree there are many benefits to virtual workouts.
Virtual workouts help people make time to connect with themselves, build structure into their day and improve confidence. Livestreamed classes create a sense of belonging, commitment, support and teamwork. A sense of camaraderie can do wonders for motivation.
