Did you know basketball was invented at a YMCA in Springfield, Massachusetts by Dr. James Naismith in 1891? 🏀

More than 135 years later, basketball is still a huge part of the YMCA...and especially ours!

Our branches have been buzzing with youth and adult leagues, including our newest Jr. NBA League and outdoor basketball league at Crandall Park in Glens Falls.

We're proud to be a place where people of all ages can learn the game, build confidence, and discover a lifelong love of sports!

Meet the Motivator: Cassidy 💪

Since joining the Corinth YMCA last fall, Cassidy has taken on a variety of roles, from personal trainer to teaching several group exercise classes, including Kettlebell Strength & Conditioning, Functional Strength & Mobility, Cardio & Core, Strength & Conditioning, Moving for Better Balance, and most recently, becoming a certified LIVESTRONG Coach.

What Cassidy enjoys most about teaching is the community that comes with it.

"I want everyone to feel welcome. Anyone can do my classes, and there's always a way to make the workout work for you. No one is judged, left out, or left behind."

His goal is simple: to help members leave class feeling a little better than when they walked in. Stronger, moving better, and with positive energy to carry through the rest of their day.

One of his favorite things about the Corinth YMCA is the close-knit atmosphere.

"You get to know people's names and their stories. People stay after class to chat, and friendships naturally form."

If you've been thinking about trying a group exercise class, Cassidy has one piece of advice:

"Just do it. The YMCA is a welcoming place, and everyone is there to help you succeed."

Come say hello to Cassidy and join him for a class at the Corinth YMCA! 🙌

Our Y has taken many shapes and forms over the years, evolving alongside our community for the past 160 years. Now, one question remains... What will our Y look like in 2066? 🤔

Join us on Wednesday, August 26th, at the Saratoga Springs Branch as we celebrate 160 years of the YMCA by sharing stories, contributing memories to our time capsule, and preserving today's Y for future generations.

The time capsule will be reopened in 2066, giving our community the chance to look back on this moment 40 years from now! 🙌

At the Y, summer memories have a way of coming full circle.

Tereska, Schroder, and Alex all started as campers and have returned to help create new adventures for the next generation. Their stories are a reminder of why camp is The Summer Adventure Place...and why there's No Place Like This Place!

There are some people who truly exemplify what the YMCA is all about, and Gina is one of them.

It's no surprise that her classes are always full and that so many members look forward to seeing her each week. Her passion, encouragement, and positivity make our YMCA a better place every single day.

Gina, thank you for everything you've done, and continue to do for our YMCA community. We are so grateful for you! ❤️🙌

Congratulations to our July Cause-Driven Leader, Gina Moore!

We're proud to recognize Gina for her passion, positivity, and unwavering commitment to our YMCA community. As one of our Senior Group Fitness Instructors, Gina inspires members every day through her energy, encouragement, and dedication.

Thank you, Gina, for going above and beyond to create a welcoming environment and for truly living our YMCA values. We are grateful to have you on our team and are thrilled to celebrate this well deserved recognition!

Meet the Motivator! ✨

Next up is Katie from our Saratoga Springs Branch! She teaches Total Body Strength, HIIT the Step, and HIIT.

A former college tennis player and current occupational therapist, Katie brings together her passion for fitness, anatomy, and helping others in every class she teaches. She loves building fresh workouts and creating upbeat playlists, so no two classes feel exactly the same. Members can expect variety, positive energy, and a workout that will challenge them!

Katie hopes everyone leaves class feeling energized and accomplished. One of the most rewarding parts of teaching for her is watching members accomplish things they never thought they could!

Her biggest piece of wellness advice is to find a workout you genuinely enjoy. When you look forward to exercising, it's easier to stay consistent and make movement a lasting part of your routine.

We're excited to keep introducing the people who bring so much energy, encouragement, and fun to our group exercise community. ❤️

The Summer Adventure Place ❤️

Every summer has its unforgettable moments.

The first trip down the zip line.
The first bullseye you hit at the archery range.
The friend you meet on the first day of camp.
The confidence that comes from trying something you never thought you could.

At Camp Toga and Camp Foothills, adventure looks a little different for every camper, but the memories last long after summer ends.

That's what makes the Y the Summer Adventure Place...

And there's No Place Like This Place!
