WALKING CLUB:

The YMCA has a Walking Club for YMCA members and Prime Time participants. The club charts daily walking totals, and awards walkers for miles attained. This has been a popular activity at the YMCA track. The track features include a synthetic surface that is easy on your body and fun to walk or jog on. New club begins January 2008.

BLOOD PRESSURE SCREENINGS
