Back-to-school always feels like you are pressing a reset button. The children get new teachers, new routines, new backpacks ... but it's not just for them.
As a mother, the new school year also feels like a new start-one opportunity to focus on self-care, fitness and family routines again.
That is why Fall is my favorite season on the YMCA of Greater Erie. From swimming lessons and steam clubs to basketball competitions and the children cheer. And for me? Everything, from cycling and Reiki to the strength training of women. And for the whole family? Family Nights, Parent's Night Out and Drop & Play.
The Y really has something for everyone, regardless of what stage of life you are in.
The cheating runs on October 1 - December 31.
