Exeter YMCA Opens Sept. 11

About a year ago – on Sept. 16 – an estimated 200 enthusiastic supporters of the YMCA attended a historic ground breaking ceremony for the Exeter Area YMCA.

Despite immense snowfall, and without reducing existing services to the community, the Exeter Area YMCA will open with a Ribbon Cutting Ceremony at 8 a.m. on Friday, Sept. 11, 2015. The Exeter Area YMCA is located at 56 Linden St. in Exeter. Tours of the building will follow brief remarks and a moment of silence.

The Exeter Area YMCA is a major expansion of Southern District YMCA services to the community, and offers positive economic development throughout southern New Hampshire. The 33,000 square foot multi-generational health and wellness center offers members and others opportunities to discover wellness, improve their physical and mental health, socialize and get support, find freedom and so much more.

The Exeter Area YMCA features an indoor track overlooking a full basketball gymnasium, a Wellness Center with state-of-the-art cardio and weight equipment, Three group fitness studios (cardio, mind/body and indoor cycling), Kids Club (drop-in child care), Odyssey Center (for teens), a multi-purpose community room, and gathering spaces for conversation and community.

The Exeter Area YMCA is made possible by generous donations from individuals, businesses and organizations, such as the Exeter Rotary Club with a recent $10,000 gift to the capital campaign.

A Grand Opening Celebration on Sept. 12, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. will offer free fun for all ages. Visit the Exeter Area YMCA at 56 Linden St. in Exeter or online at ExeterYMCA.org.
