NEWS FROM THE Y

At the Lake Wales Family YMCA, we value our members and think of them as part of our family. Once a month we like to show our appreciation by having a Member Appreciation Day. We hold these on the third Monday of each month. Our most recent Member Appreciation Day was held on Presidents Day, February 20, 2012. This month we had a special guest from Herbaife Nutrition Club come visit our facility from 8:30 am – 10:30 am.


The Herbalife representative gave out samples of nutrition shakes and protein bars that walked through our doors during that time. While she was with us, our members had the opportunity to pick her brain about nutrition and healthy eating ideas. 


Being a part of the Y gives you many benefits. Not only is there full access to the wellness center, there are a number of different classes that are offered to fit just about any person’s needs. We have something for all ages from our Youth Super Sports program for ages 2-5yrs as well as programs for our Active Older Adults including a partnership with Silver Sneakers®, a program that works with health insurance companies to provide an opportunity for seniors in our community to get and stay healthy. There are many reasons to become a part of the Lake Wales Family YMCA community and being a part of a close family unit that cares about your well being is at the top of that list.

The Y is committed to providing programs that build a healthy spirit, mind and body for all. We make every effort to ensure that no one is turned away due to inability to pay. Click to read more about our financial assistance.
