Exciting Addition Being Made at B.R. Ryall YMCA

The B.R. Ryall YMCA of Northwestern DuPage County is please to announce the addition of a brand new weight room tentatively opening in early February.

To meet the needs of members looking for a more complete total body workout, the weight room will have new equipment including: Smith Machine, Olympic Bench, Squat Rack, Power Cage, and much more. The room will also be outfitted with wall mirrors and a rubberized floor.

“Members have been requesting a larger free weight area and additional plate-loaded machines and we are very excited to be meeting their needs,” said Megan Schici, Health and Wellness Director, B.R. Ryall YMCA. “Lifting weights and gaining muscle is an important part of a well-rounded fitness routine. It is the best way to ramp up your metabolism for an all-day higher caloric burn.”

Only a modest construction project is expected since the new weight room will be located in the current Teen Room, The Zone, which is directly adjacent to the Wellness Center. A doorway will be constructed so entry can be made directly from the Wellness Center. Construction should commence mid January and equipment should be available for member use by early February 2015. The Teen Room will be relocated to a different part of the building.

In an effort to keep the building in good condition so that it continues to be a welcoming place for gathering by the entire community, earlier improvements made during Phase One included installation of a new roof, refinishing of floors in the gym and group exercise room, the pools drained for routine cleaning and maintenance along with the installation of the new UV system in the pool, and various facility cosmetic and repurposing.
