A COMMITMENT TO FITNESS & FAMILY

“ I have been coming to the Ridgewood Y for several years now and enjoy taking the group exercise classes. I usually attend at least four times a week and my favorites are the Zumba and LaBlast® Dance fi tness programs. LaBlast® is new this year and

it already is a winner in my book! I fi nd the instructor very energetic and she motivates our class members to want to return each week!

I take care of my granddaughter Ella during the week and I am so pleased that the Y provides childcare so I can continue my fi tness routine. Ella adores the Child Watch staff and she doesn’t want to leave when I come pick her up. I would defi nitely recommend the Ridgewood Y to my friends and neighbors, there truly is something for everyone! ”

Kathy from Midland Park

RAISING CONFIDENT SWIMMERS

“ We have the Triangle Family membership at the Ridgewood Y for the past 4 years. Initially, I started my three children in the Y’s private swim lessons and now they are enrolled in the group classes.

The transition was very easy for them due to the consistency of the instructors and their teaching methods. My kids are all progressing at their own pace with learning new skills and I am very pleased with the Y’s swim curriculum. Best of all, my kids always leave happy after their lessons! ”

Yunaima from Upper Saddle River

Living Strong, Living Well A 12 week evidence-based fi tness program developed by Stanford University that helps cancer patients and survivors reclaim their health and well-being following a cancer diagnosis.

“RECLAIMING MY HEALTH”

“ The Living Strong, Living Well Program at the Ridgewood Y was a very positive experience for me after my cancer diagnosis and medical treatment. I was very tired and had lost a lot of muscle mass from the effects of chemo.

The Y’s instructors tailored a weight training and exercise regimen specifi cally for me which helped restore my physical endurance and energy level. Not only did my body get stronger, but this program helped me to focus on a more positive lifestyle. Another plus is that Living Strong, Living Well is offered for free, which was a major factor in my participation. After costly medical bills, there wasn’t any money left for me to pay for a program like this.”
