Here are our top ten ways to spend the day with your buddy at the Y!


WORKOUT WINGMAN

10: WORKOUT WINGMAN

Everything’s more fun with a friend! Bring your wingman (or wingwoman) along to motivate each other and celebrate new achievements together.


9: ADVENTURE ALLY

Break out of your routine with a buddy by scaling the climbing wall or mastering martial arts in a BODYCOMBAT® class. Having a friend to encourage you may be just the motivation you need.


GROUP FITNESS GUIDE

8: GROUP FITNESS GUIDE

Grab a friend and check out that new group fitness class you’ve been curious to try. From Zumba® to yoga, and everything in between, it’s always better with a buddy.


7: SWIM SIDEKICK

Dive into the pool for some friendly fun! Whether it’s competing for the best lap time, getting drenched by the water bucket, or making a splash on the slide, having a pal with you in the water is a blast.


6: TRAINING TEAMMATE

Sign up for a partner personal training session or give a circuit routine a try together. You can switch up exercises, spot each other, and cheer each other on for that extra incentive.


SPA DAY SOULMATE

5: SPA DAY SOULMATE

Treat yourselves to a little post-workout relaxation in the steam room, hot tub, or with a HydroMassage. It’s the perfect way to unwind and rejuvenate together.


4: CHALLENGE CHUM

Challenge yourself and a chum with a new fitness goal. Hit a new weightlifting high, surpass your speed limit on the treadmill, or master a complex yoga pose. A little chummy rivalry may be the push you need to get to the next level.


DROP IN TWIN

3: DROP-IN TWIN

Practice some friendly and fun competition during drop-in sports or open gym. From basketball and volleyball to table tennis and pickleball, get your game on together!


2: WELL-BEING BESTIE

By bringing a friend with you to the Y, you’re sharing your health and wellness goals with someone you care about. And you’re not just improving your own well-being, you’re also inspiring others to do the same.


and the top reason to bring your pal with you to the Y...

COMMUNITY COMPANION

1: COMMUNITY COMPANION

Share the love by showing your guest what it means to be part of the YMCA community. Introduce them to staff, other members, and get involved in activities and events together.
