If you need a little boost to keep those healthy new year goals on track, the YMCA of Austin might just offer the help you need! The community is invited to participate in a free six-week YMCA Reset Challenge, designed to help transform spirit, mind and body.
The Reset Challenge begins on February 1 in which participants will receive three texts a week filled with motivation, challenges, workouts and more. Reset Challenge participants will also gain access to free virtual exercise classes as well as free access to YMCA of Austin facilities for one day each week to enjoy swimming, working out and a variety of in-person classes. (Note that with Stage 5 restrictions in place across the community, the YMCA of Austin has implemented strict masking, cleaning, social distancing and capacity limits to ensure safety of staff and visitors.)
To join the challenge, you can simply text RESET to 866-943-YMCA (9622) and follow the prompts. Everyone in the community is welcome. You do not have to be a Y member to join!
Participants are encouraged to get active for 30 minutes a day, 150 minutes per week. Activities are centered around six weekly themes:
- Reset
- Refresh
- Reconnect
- Replay
- Reinvest
- Restore
Virtual offerings include free YMCA Live and On-Demand classes such as Zumba, yoga, HIIT and many more. Programming will also be available for children. The Reset Challenge will also include a variety of outdoor activities like pop-up classes, bike rides and nature walks.
