At the Hampshire Regional YMCA, our goal is to help you reach yours! We have so many options in our Wellness department to help you do just that, many of which are included in your membership. Whether you choose to meet in person or virtually, we’ve got your back! At the Y, we believe staying healthy and getting fit are not only vital to our well-being, but should be fun and inclusive. That’s why we’ve designed our programs to meet the needs of every individual, no matter their fitness level, age or background. We pride ourselves on creating a welcoming environment focused on helping you and your family gain strength, endurance and self-confidence. 

Throughout the year we offer free and fun and challenges in our Wellness Center that you can participate in at the Y or virtually!

• February: Healthy Heart Challenge 
• Spring: Renew Your Resolution 
• Fall: Fall Back into Fitness  

We also offer these additional free resources:

• Join our Hampshire Regional YMCA Facebook Wellness Community and receive encouragement, tips and tricks for better health and well being. Connect with fellow Y members while learning more about nutrition, exercise and general wellness as a different theme is explored each month.
• Check out our at home resources page for virtual fitness ideas and tips from your friends at the Y.
