175 Years Fitness Challenge

175 Years Fitness Challenge

We’re celebrating the Y’s 175 years in the U.S. with a month-long fitness challenge featuring three different ways to participate. Members can sign up for any one challenge individually, complete two, or take on all three.

If participants plan to complete all three, they can simply register for the Strong Together option and will not need to sign up for each challenge separately.

Once a challenge is completed, participants will add their name to the 175 Wall of Finishers, displayed on three boards outside the fitness floor.
