The New Year is a great time to check in on your health, assess where you’re at (and perhaps where you want to be). Need help getting started on — or supporting — your fitness journey? Enter: The YMCA of Greenville.

The Y’s programs, classes, and equipment help make getting active easy + fun at any fitness level. From yoga and Zumba classes to free weights and cardio, a membership to the Y ($27-86 per month) allows people to choose how they want to approach getting fit. Pro tip: Book a session with a certified Y personal trainer to develop a program that works for you.

Not a “gym” person? That’s okay. Members also have access to the Virtual Y platform, which features a library of on-demand classes from Les Mills that members can access 24/7 from their computer or mobile device. (Read: You can exercise from the comfort of your living room.)

Bonus: The platform’s content will be updated quarterly with fresh, new classes — which means you won’t get bored with your workout routine. In addition to classes, it will offer access to resources like free virtual meetings and Q+As about current health topics. (Note: This feature is only available for qualifying membership types.)

Ready to start the New Year off right with a membership to the Y? Pro tip: If you join in January, the joining fee ($29-69) is waived. 💪*
