Barre with Jacki @ 5:45pm has been cancelled for this evening. Why not try out Cardio Strike with Jeff @ 6:15pm in the Blue Gym or Dance Fitness with Mary Anne @ 6:05pm in the Wood Gym. Both classes are a great way to still get your work out in!
This month, local students are over at the Y learning about water safety. This amazing opportunity was funded by the Parkview Wabash Hospital Community Health Improvement Program. Thank you!
Our power is back on and we'll be operating with normal hours today. Continued thanks and prayers for all involved!

Our community was frightened this evening by a fire that raged right next door. We are devastated for the loss of a historic building. We are thankful none have been hurt. We are thankful the damage to neighboring buildings (like ours!) is minimal. We are thankful for and impressed by our local fire department and EMS, whom we credit for saving our Y. We are especially thankful for the opportunity that tragedy provides us to show one another how we can come together. At five this evening, the heat at our doors was so hot that we knew we had to evacuate. If you walked through our perfectly safe Y building right now, you’d know that there was fear in those moments. Clothing and balls are strewn about. Vehicles were covered in ash and staff members went home smelling like smoke. But in the aftermath, you can also see the beauty of our community. A neighboring YMCA called to say they were praying. Staffers who were offsite reported to the Y to help. Rachel Godfroy and Alex Honeycutt ushered kids out of the building and calmed their fears. A local nurse and Y member came over to help with potential injuries. Madi Ramos helped women in the locker room. Another Y member helped a mother carry her children out. Big R and Goodfellas provided food and drink to exhausted emergency personnel. In the midst of tragedy, we helped each other. Wabash County, you really are stellar. “When I was a boy and I would see scary things in the news, my mother would say to me, ‘Look for the helpers. You will always find people who are helping.” — Mister Rogers https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-LGHtc_D328
Due to a nearby fire, the Y has been evacuated. We will be closed the rest of the night and will update if there will be changes to hours tomorrow. Pray for the firefighters!
