TRX SUSPENSION TRAINING COMING SOON
| |  TRX Suspension Training was born in the Navy SEALs. Suspension Training body-weight exercise develops strength, balance, flexibility and core stability simultaneously. It leverages gravity and your body-weight to perform hundreds of exercises. You're in control of how much you want to challenge yourself on each exercise - because you can simply adjust your body position to add or decrease resistance. We are excited to add it to our class offerings. Stay tuned, class days and times TBA.

| NEW EXCITING CLASSES | |
C3 - Mondays 6:45-7:30PM
A blend of circuit training, cardio and core for a total body workout.
Fitness Boot Camp - Wednesdays 6-7AM
A fitness boot camp is type class that mixes traditional callisthenic and body weight exercises with interval training and strength training. While there are a variety of styles, most are designed in a way that pushes the participants harder than they'd push themselves and, in that way, resemble a military boot camp.
One HIIT Wonder - Saturdays 8:30-9AM - ONLY in November!
Cardio training in which you alternate short, very high intensity intervals with longer, slower intervals to recover in a 2:1 ratio. HIIT has been shown to benefit the average exerciser. HIIT training not only helps performance, it also improves the ability of the muscles to burn fat.
Vinyasa Flow Yoga - Tuesdays 6:30PM
A fluid, athletic style of yoga that cultivates a conscious breath flow while increasing strength, flexibility, balance and joy. This level-2 class is built around Sun Salutations A and B and is suitable for ongoing students looking to move and sweat.

FESTIVAL OF THE TREES
| | |
For 16 years, the Festival of the Trees has been the highlight of the holiday season in the Northern Neck. This three-day extravaganza will be held December 6-8 at the Northern Neck Family YMCA. With more than 500 patrons attending the weekend-long affair, this is one of YMCA's largest fundraising events of the year. The Festival inspires attendees to "deck their homes" with unique holiday decorating and gift-giving ideas. The community's generosity during this event ensures the vitality of our Strong Communities Campaign. This year's goal is to raise $20,600 for the campaign, which funds the Y's Guardian Scholarship Program. This important program helps the Y fulfill its mission to provide a wide range of programs and activities for children and families within our local community who could not otherwise afford them.
Lighting of the Trees Party - Friday, December 6, at the Northern Neck Family YMCA from 6-9p.m. This fun-filled event includes:
- "Tastes of the Northern Neck" with heavy hors d'oeuvres & beverages from local restaurants & caterers.
- Live auction featuring elaborate gift items donated by local artists, chefs, businesses and community groups, with Auctioneer Steve Gordon.
- The evening concludes with the grand illumination of the Festival of the Trees featuring decorated trees, wreaths and other holiday items that are up for bid during a weekend-long silent auction.
Tickets are $50 per person, and may be purchased electronically or at the Y. This year, if you RSVP to the Lighting of the Trees party before November 22nd you will receive a $50 Gift Certificate to Burke's Fine Jewelers!
