Let's brighten up Facebook! Please add your favorite YMCA moments, pictures, and stories in the comments. Then share the post to hear from your friends and family.

You are more likely to reach your goals if you write them down, and we’d love to cheer you on as you work on your New Year’s Resolutions. Please stop by the table in the lobby and add your resolution to the jar.

Our Fitness Launch planned for tomorrow has been postponed. Unfortunately, several of our instructors are stranded out of town due to the weather. New classes will begin on January 4.

We are open, but we do know that the weather is a bit frightful. If you choose to come see us, please be extra careful. If you would like to purchase a new membership, but you don't want to brave the snow, we can process your application over the phone. Call us before 4:00 at (660) 646-6677.

Speed, Strength, and Agility classes start tomorrow! Are you signed up?

Happy New Year from all of us at the YMCA! May 2021 be a year filled with joy and blessings!

The mother of one beautiful daughter, DeEtta Jones is an LPN with a degree in Human Development. She is AFEP and Chair Yoga certified. DeEtta started her fitness journey in search of ways to control her own health issues. As she began working with Seniors, she saw the amazing benefits it had on their physical, emotional, and social well-being. She loves that you are never too old to exercise! DeEtta will be offering a preview of Chair Yoga on Saturday at 10:45 am followed by a sneak peak at her new Arthritic Fit class at 11:30 am. Everyone is invited!

It's Big Wheels! It's Trunk or Treat! It's everything your little monsters and goblins have been waiting for. Dress up in your Halloween costume and come trick or treat with us! Kids of all ages invited!

Kim Walter’s passion for fitness grew after the birth of her triplet girls in 2015. Trying to juggle her then 3 year old son and the girls, exercise was her way to keep up with the kids and relieve stress. Kim is a certified cycle instructor teaching twice a week. She’s also taught various fitness classes at the YMCA since 2018. Find the fitness class that will spark your love of exercise during our Fitness Launch this Saturday. Classes will be held throughout the day beginning at 7:45 am. There will also be snacks and door prizes, and it’s all free for everyone. See you there!

Men's pick-up basketball is coming back to the Y!

Happy New Year’s Eve! The Y will close today at Noon. We will reopen tomorrow from 1-4 pm and resume normal hours on Saturday.

Cory Corbin was born and raised in Chillicothe. He joined the Y over 20 years ago because the Y had so many programs and services for people of all ages. Cory and his wife, Whitney, have 3 children, and Cory enjoys coaching them in basketball and watching them learn the importance of staying active. And like their dad, who comes to the Y almost every day, they have stayed active. They’ve been in basketball, t-ball, coach pitch, flag and tackle football, dance, and gymnastics. When he’s not at the Y, Cory enjoys building and racing Mud Trucks, a hobby he started as a teenager. His current truck is called The Hurricane.

For the safety of all our kiddos, we will be closing the Y parking lot during our Monsters, Goblins, and Big Wheels event Friday night. Please park in the Orscheln parking lot and then come up to the Y to trick or treat. We will have lots of fun vehicles to see and lots of candy to collect.

Our Trivia winners are Angela Pope and Charity Trotter. They'll be splitting a one month's membership. The question is . . . Did you know all the answers?
