Our “little” family

You know what’s nice about the Stillwater Family YMCA? You can leave your stress at the door.

You can put aside whatever is troubling you and clouding your thoughts, and just enjoy hanging out with the YMCA family. Seriously, the YMCA is like a family, with its quirks, laughs and little kindnesses. Of course, no family gets along perfectly, but that’s also what makes the YMCA special - it’s genunine. People really do care about each other and enjoy each other’s company. Working out and hanging out goes hand in hand at the YMCA. It’s not just a gym - it’s a place where people really do develop their minds, spirits and bodies, and have fun while doing it.

I joined the YMCA family almost a year ago and couldn’t imagine leaving it. It’s such a pleasure to spend time with people who care about each other and have common goals - taking care of minds, spirits and bodies. You can see it in the faces you greet and the hands that care. You can see it in the kids’ faces as they run around giggling and playing sports. You can see it as the parents chat and watch their children play. It’s visible as people hang out around the front desk just to chat. It’s everywhere.

The YMCA’s mission is also unique from other gyms - it’s all about developing a strong community and individuals inside and out. The YMCA doesn’t focus on making money, rather it’s focused on serving the community.

We’re still figuring out how to best serve the community, which is a work in progress. We’d love to hear feedback from our members and other readers. What would you like the YMCA to do for you? What would you like to do for the YMCA?
