YMCA Sees Successful New Year’s Resolutions

HERMANTOWN, Minn.– With the new year rolling in, many people make going to the gym their new year’s resolution.

But just how many people dedicate the resolution to a long-term commitment?

Getting healthier and gaining a workout routine goes hand in hand with gaining a gym membership.

The YMCA in Hermantown is no exception. They’ve been open for five years now, and they’ve been seeing consistent members using the facility.

They offer orientations to learn about the equipment, as well as personal trainers to help people on their journey.

“We really want people to be super comfortable with the equipment. Because that’s a lot of the things we see. People who are not comfortable with the facilities, the equipment. They just quit,” explained Brian Trettel, the Membership Experience Director for the Hermantown YMCA.

The YMCA also offers endless programs and camps to not only get physically healthy but to also connect with the community through support groups.
