Mental and physical health go hand in hand, so YWCA is committed to helping you stay active while our co-ed gym is temporarily closed.
Join YWCA’s Director of Fitness, Starr Gargiullo, for exercises throughout the week. You can follow her virtual fitness instruction on Mondays and Fridays on the YWCA Fitness Facebook page.
