Work out your way
From heart-pumping group classes like TRX® and Beast Mode™ to low-impact options such as cycle, aqua, and yoga classes, the Y has something for every fitness style. Take a moment to breathe, stretch, and recharge in yoga, or build strength using free weights and state-of-the-art machines like EGYM smart circuit in the wellness centers. No matter your current fitness level, programs and equipment are tailored to help you move at your own pace.
Benefits that go beyond fitness
A Y membership isn’t just about workouts. Members can schedule free wellness coaching, periodic health assessments, and biometric screenings. Household members can take advantage of the childwatch service while they exercise and enjoy discounts on programs like swim lessons, youth sports, summer camp, and Y Afterschool. It’s fitness, wellness, and family support all in one place.
Take charge of your health and experience all the YMCA of Greenville has to offer. Join online or at any branch this January and enjoy no joining fee. There’s truly no place like this place to start your year strong.
“Thank you to everyone who has trusted us with your most important days,” downtown event space Vue 1919 said in a closing post. The venue is working with couples to rebook their events at other local venues.
Civic
Greenville City Council approved its updated Multi-Hazard Mitigation Plan. First created in 2009, the plan assesses natural and man-made risks and outlines ways to reduce long-term impacts. Its adoption also helps maintain FEMA funding eligibility and flood insurance discounts for residents. (Greenville Journal)
Number
$1.4 million. That’s how much the City of Greenville was awarded in federal assistance for a Watershed Protection Program, designed to help communities recover after natural disasters (like Hurricane Helene). The money will be used to clear debris and stabilize the bank along the Reedy River. (Greenville Journal)
Closing
Amend Market will close its shop in The Village at the end of January. “This shop has meant more to me than I can put into words, and I’m endlessly grateful for the community that grew around it,” its owner Kendall said in a closing post.
Development
Mauldin’s city council gave initial approval to a $2 per ticket facility fee for GE Vernova Park, the new stadium for the Greenville Triumph and Liberty. If finalized next month, the fee will help offset stadium and infrastructure costs. (Greenville Journal)
Announced
