Try the Y: Community Happens Here

August 20, 2024

Back to school season and fall is always an exciting time in our community. The Fanwood-Scotch Plains YMCA wants to help strengthen our commitment to community this fall with Try the Y Week.

Community members are invited to Try the Y from September 3 to September 8, 2024 and participate in a variety of programs.

Wellness initiatives to check out at FSPY include:

• Recently renovated Wellness Center which includes EGYM fitness technology, treadmills, ellipticals, bikes, climb mills, recumbent stepper, arm bikes, Life Fitness strength circuit, Hammer Strength machines, Hammer Strength power racks, multiple benches and free weights
• Group exercise classes including cycle, strength training, yoga, Zumba, and more
• Aquatics including lap swim, open swim, family swim and aquatics fitness classes
• Open Gym

During Try the Y week, FSPY is also waiving the Membership Joiner’s Fee, a savings of up to $100. When two new members join at the same time, they also can qualify to save 20 percent on their first full month of membership. You can learn more about both of these opportunities at the FSPY Welcome Center.

“As our friends and neighbors look to become healthier, we want them to remember that when they join the Fanwood-Scotch Plains YMCA, they’re not simply joining a gym—they’re joining a community,” said Tracy Crane, CEO. “The Y brings together people from different backgrounds, perspectives and generations and ensures that we all have access to the opportunities, relationships and resources necessary to learn, grow and thrive.”

Try the Y week is free to community members ages 18 and over and those who are 17 and under and accompanied by a parent/guardian. All guests 18 and over must sign a waiver and show a government-issued photo ID. Some exclusions and age restrictions may apply
