HIT THE RESET BUTTON IN 2021! RESET your health, RESET your outlook, RESET your spirit, RESET YOU! 


The YMCA Reset Challenge is a FREE six-week activity challenge designed to help individuals transform their spirit, mind, and body. EVERYONE in the community is welcome, you do not have to be a Y member to join!
 

Time to RESET

  • Challenge yourself to 150 minutes a week of physical activity. This can be whatever you want it to be, swim some laps, take a walk, or hop on a bike. Whatever gets you moving! Physical activity can be done at home, outside, or, even better, at your   local, super clean YMCA! 
     

  • Non-YMCA Members who are RESET participants please download this   Weekly Pass and come check out our branches!* Not sure where to start? RESET will provide a six-week workout plan with daily workouts with both in-person and on-demand/live workout videos! (See Below)

    Interested in becoming a YMCA Member? We would love for you to join our family! Just visit our   Membership Page to view all the options available that can accommodate any budget! You can register both online and in person. Use RESET2021 at checkout to receive a special RESET discount! 
     

  • Each week will have a different theme that connects to our mission of caring for the whole person. Download the   Activity Tracker Template to help you schedule and plan your goals!
     

  • Access to a private    Facebook Group of people also doing the RESET challenge to build community and have accountability.
     

Participants are encouraged to get active for 30 minutes a day, 150 minutes per week.

Activities are centered around six weekly themes:

6 Weeks / 42 Days / 1,008 Hours … Ta-Da! You’ve now been RESET and RESTORED! You are now back to a factory-standard-ready-for-adult-life human! From here, please turn to page six in your human-manual for directions on how to perfectly proceed...

If it were only that simple, right?

There’s no manual. There’s no clear-cut path; life is messy and ever-changing, often we don’t know what lies ahead.

But, what we do know is how to RESET when we need to.

We have a fanny-pack full of insights and resources to help us RESET when we need to.

And, a STRONG LIFE community that will be here to strengthen and encourage you every step of the way!
