At the Y This Summer    

Many of our group exercise classes head outside to get their sweat on, so ask your favorite instructors about outdoor classes. Also, the Central Spokane and Spokane Valley Ys are close to the Centennial Trial so after a walk or strenuous run, stop in, relax in the spa or enjoy a dip in our pools.

 

And, check out our TWO Kids Triathlons and a brand new Kids Xtreme Fun Run this summer. 

 

Kids Tri When was the last time that your child experienced the thrill of crossing a finish line after swimming, biking, and running? Triathlons are a great way for children to stay fit and get active but they can also help teach your child life long skills that can be applied in every aspect of their lives.

 

Setting a goal and staying focused on it to achieve something big can be very rewarding. Being focused and determined can help kids to stay focused in school and help them achieve other goals they set for themselves.

   

 

 

So let's get moving and we'll see YOU at the YMCA this summer! 

Welcoming Our New CEO
Steve Tammaro

It is with great pleasure that we welcome our new President and CEO, Steve Tammaro and his family to the Spokane community. Steve comes to us from Denver bringing with him over 30 years of experience with the YMCA movement. We are all very excited to start this new chapter of the YMCA in Spokane where we are for youth development, healthy living and social responsibility. Please join us in welcoming Steve to Spokane as we continue to nurture the potential of youth, improve health and give back to our community. "I'm excited to be in Spokane and look forward to meeting members and getting involved in this community," Steve said. Be sure to keep an eye out for Steve who plans to be in the facilities and engaging with our members.
