Spring 2021 Group Exercise Updates

We wanted to let you know what you might expect as the warmer weather approaches as it relates to the Summit Area YMCA’s group exercise offerings. Please be assured, we continue to abide by the Department of Health’s (DOH) guidance on indoor exercise which states that it is safe to do so. DOH requires that we employ robust cleaning protocols, wear masks (some exceptions apply), and that our members/staff be socially distanced. Thus,

– We are working to expand, the number of classes and formats offered as needed (high intensity, cardio, strength training, yoga and meditation, stretching, etc.). We continually evaluate participation in order to best serve the interests of our members.

– We will offer an assortment of outdoor classes mostly which require no equipment be moved in and out of the facility — due to the significant wear, tear, and damage to the equipment considering our financial resources and constrained staffing. Some exceptions will apply to specialty classes and events.

– We will explore offering some mask-optional exercise options for interested participants that fall under the Department of Health guidelines for high-intensity fitness activities.

– We will continue to embrace our commitment to keeping you safe while you participate in Y activities. This remains our #1 priority so we can ensure we are here for you for the long term.

CLASS SCHEDULES

We thank you in advance for your understanding, patience, and flexibility and we too eagerly await the return to normalcy. We look forward to seeing you soon at the Y!

Sincerely,

SUMMIT AREA YMCA

BERKELEY HEIGHTS YMCA | SUMMIT YMCA | THE LEARNING CIRCLE YMCA

In 1886, we were founded as the Young Men’s Christian Association, but today, we are The Y; an association that values, and is made stronger by, its diverse people. We stand for youth development, healthy living and social responsibility — For a better us. We are committed to creating equal opportunity for all regardless of gender, age, disability, income, ethnicity, sexual orientation or religious affiliation. We strive to create a welcoming and inclusive culture in which our four core values — responsibility, honesty, caring and respect — are integral to everyday operations.

Each year, as one of the area’s leading 501(c)3 charitable organizations, the Summit Area YMCA serves more than 15,000 individuals with our free and fee-based programs and services in an area spanning the New Jersey communities of Berkeley Heights, Gillette, Millburn, New Providence, Short Hills, Springfield, Stirling and Summit. Our history is rooted in working side-by-side with our neighbors to ensure that everyone has the opportunity to learn, grow and thrive. Through the generosity of our members, donors, and partners, we are able to offer financial assistance for our programs and services to those in need.
