With the pandemic, a common concern people have is the weight they put on during it or falling out of shape because of it. The YMCA is now trying to find ways to help those people comfortably get back into a fitness routine. They are encouraging personal training for the one-on-one experience that can be tailored to people’s individual needs. With more people staying home since 2020 one thing that has become more prevalent is fitness in a stationary environment. Healthy Living Coordinator Sarah Gavin understands their appeal, but also questions how safe some are. 

Gavin highlighted helping people safely work out as a YMCA priority.
