"I want to exercise more and get healthier, but I just can’t find the time!"

If this statement accurately describes your reality, you're not alone. Improving one’s health and well-being is somewhere on everyone’s to-do list. Unfortunately for many of us, our day-to-day tasks and immediate needs often get in the way of accomplishing this goal. Regardless of the many valid reasons (and some creative excuses), we believe you can strike a healthy balance between the demands of life and your desire to be more active and healthy. Where to start? How about rethinking health & well-being.

Our Approach

 

Most people tend to think of health & well-being as only “the physical”. At the Y, we believe “the physical” is only part of a bigger picture. Even though we’re the leading provider of health & well-being programs in Central Maryland and offer a variety of fun, energizing classes for all bodies, levels and abilities, we understand that health & well-being is as much mental and spiritual as it is physical. That’s why in addition to the “feel the burn” classes, we offer classes that lift your spirit, sharpen your mind and help you achieve an overall spirit-mind-body wellness. We also provide opportunities for social interaction with friends and neighbors and quality time for busy families.

Be Part of a Community

 

When you join the Y, you’re joining a special community of people who not only care about their health & well-being, but about the well-being of others too. You can lift weights or take yoga anywhere, but at the Y, you also have an opportunity to make a difference in your community.

Whether through volunteer work, contributions to our Safe Place for Kids campaign, mentoring or simply advocating for the Y, you send a message to the children and families in your own backyard that you care about their welfare and you support the Y as a positive community resource.

Our Y centers also act as a “third place”; a place, in addition to home and work, where you feel comfortable and safe. The camaraderie that’s found in Y centers is refreshing. People are able to be themselves and enjoy the company of friends, family and neighbors. This ability to socialize and connect with people gives a lift to your spirit just as much as any yoga class! Don’t just join. Connect.
