The holidays are joyful, but they can also bring packed schedules, added pressure and stress. Between family commitments, school breaks, travel and long to-do lists, it’s easy to put your own well-being last. This year, we invite you to slow down and make yourself a priority. With simple ways to recharge your spirit, mind and body—and activities for all ages, abilities and wellness goals—we’re here to help you stay grounded and enjoy a calm, more stress-free season.
Move Your Body and Ease Your Mind
Physical activity is one of the most effective ways to reduce stress. Looking for high-intensity movement? Try one of our invigorating Les Mills classes. Craving calm and clarity? A restorative yoga session might be just what you need. No matter your style or pace, our Base, Plus and Max Memberships offer valuable benefits to match every wellness interest.
Build Healthy Routines That Last
The end of the year can throw routines off track, but it’s also the perfect time to create new, sustainable habits. Starting healthy routines now can help you feel stronger, more energized and ready to take on the season and the new year. At the Y, you’ll find supportive instructors and a welcoming community to encourage good habits. Get involved with Personal Training to build a routine and stay accountable, or use our app for virtual workouts that fit your busy holiday schedule or on-the-go lifestyle.
Find Your People
The holidays can look and feel different for everyone, and sometimes we all need a little extra connection. At the Y, you’re part of a welcoming community that supports you every step of the way. Whether you’re joining a Group Exercise class, swimming laps, stopping in for a quick workout or sharing a cup of coffee with a friend, you’ll always find encouragement and belonging. Join clubs and programs that keep you active while connecting with like-minded members who share your interests and goals. Feeling connected is one of the most effective ways to manage stress, especially during this busy season.
