Have You Checked Out The New River YMCA Yet?

Local NonProfit has lots to offer families in the Jacksonville area

By Lisa Hamilton January 28, 2020

Have you visited the New River YMCA yet? They have so many great programs & events scheduled each month and always adding fresh new ones! This particular location opened back in October 2019 and has been rapidly growing in popularity since! Many local families have already taken advantage of the facilities amenities, classes, childcare & events!

I want to share a few things that are happening at the New River YMCA in the hope that you will visit this great resource we have right here in our community! Some classes that are regularly held are Yoga, Zumba, Pound, Strength Train Together, and more! You don't need to be a member to enjoy most of these activities but the majority of them are either free or discounted for YMCA Members. To sweeten the deal a little bit more free childcare is available for members while they are participating in any regular group exercise class!
