Healthy Living

As we celebrate 50 years of fun at the Northwest Family YMCA, let us focus on one of our key pillars: healthy living.    

Perseverance comes in all shapes and sizes. Even at age 5, Jack Cotroneo is a clear example of not letting your circumstances bring you down.   

Somewhere, Village People should be applauding what is happening at the Bay View Family YMCA.   

We love a good love story at the YMCA. So, it is only right that we share the tale of Steve and Annette Locke.   

As our yoga folks would say, it’s time for a woosah. Our Active Older Adults (AOA) at the Schottland Family YMCA have been going through a five-part Mindful Meditation series with Yoga Instructor Deb Mangiamele guiding the sessions for the group, and although it is intended to help her extended AOA family, she also finds solace there.

The YMCA has a knack for enticing people to improve their health and wellness. David Verdonck was no different. 

Dieting is a topic that many people have questions on. At the Y, we are proud to look at your health and wellness journey from a holistic approach -- focusing on what goes in our bodies as much as what we do on the outside of them.

Angelo – better known around the Northwest Family YMCA as Sonny - at 95 years old has had a long history with the YMCA of Greater Rochester.

Wednesdays at our Maplewood Family YMCA have become a fixture in recent months. The Lifespan Lily Cafe has become home to Foodlink’s Teaching Kitchen and the members could not be happier about it.
