The Door County YMCA is helping residents get off to a healthy start to the New Year. Both program centers in Sturgeon Bay and Fish Creek will be free and open to the public from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Friday. Exercising more and losing weight were the top two most common New Year’s resolutions in a YouGov.com poll heading into 2020. A study published by the Journal of Clinical Psychology showed 46 percent of people who made New Year’s resolutions were successful. Tonya Felhofer from the Door County YMCA says Friday’s free community day is a great way to tackle your New Year’s resolution with a small step.

Felhofer says people working out the YMCA will notice the steps they have taken to ensure safety. That has involved rearranging its equipment and increased sanitization procedures.
