Everyone is also invited to try the NEW Virtual Y through March 2021 and workout wherever you are.  Free YMCA live and On Demand classes will be available including Zumba, yoga, HIIT and many more.  Programming is also available for children.  The complete weekly schedule is available at ymcapawtucket.org; check back often for updates.

You can also participate in a variety of outdoor activities, like pop-up classes and nature walks.  Visit the website ymcapawtucket.org and learn more about the RESET challenge and all of the free community activities.  “It’s the perfect time to take back our lives, reenergize, achieve goals, feel better and stronger,” added Achin.
