💪🏽 Stepping Out of Your Comfort Zone! "Have you ever found yourself in a space where you felt like you did not belong? Or you did not have the authority (or knowledge, skills, education, etc) to hold that space with those around you? For many people who are starting out on their health journey, this can be a very common feeling." Read more about how Kris stepped out of her comfort zone on her way to healthier living in our blog:

We’d like to extend a special thank you to United Way of the Midlands for hosting Team YMCA at this year’s Shine Bright event. We were thrilled to help kids start the school year with confidence with important self-care items.

Member Spotlight! Let's celebrate Miss Hazel's incredible journey at the Buena Vista YMCA Express! She walked with the assistance of a cane when she joined the first week we opened two years ago. She could only use 4 out of the 9 EGYM Smart Strength machines when she began and to date, she's achieved amazing milestones: using all nine machines AND walking 25 minutes unassisted on the treadmill three times a week and has lost an inspiring 50 pounds! 🏋️♀️💪 Join us in cheering for Miss Hazel's hard work and dedication! 🎊 #YMCAInspiration #HealthJourney #Transformation Theresa Lovings Amber Cornist

“A lot of your esports kids will have never stepped in a YMCA before and they’ve never been a part of a traditional sports team,” said Gay. “We’re hitting a whole different target market with this group, and they’re learning life lessons about social responsibility and how to communicate with one another. I’ve seen them become social butterflies.”-Kyle Gay, YMCA of Greater Omaha Regional Youth Sports Director Check out the full article by Community Rec Magazine to learn more about the power of esports.
