Muncie, IN—The YMCA of Muncie has a long standing presence in Muncie and Delaware County with a promise to strengthen the foundations of our community. The Y has been a catalyst in moving our community towards a healthier lifestyle through youth wellness initiatives in our after school programs, chronic disease prevention and Access for All, membership assistance designed to remove financial barriers.
The Y’s group exercise classes are a great way to participate in an instructor led setting ensuring you receive a great workout! All group exercise classes are free with your membership and are an excellent way to get involved, engaged and connected to others within the Y. For an additional fee, the Y offers personal training with certified trainers. All Y trainers meet specific criteria to ensure clients are receiving quality instruction to increase results and reduce injury. If you’re interested in more information on personal training or group exercise, contact Megan O’Connor at moconnor@muncieymca.org
