Y STORIES: COMMUNITY IN ACTION ✨

Hi, my name is Nadia! I'm a Group Fitness and Pilates Instructor here at the YMCA. I moved from British Columbia to Fredericton last year. I've been coaching and teaching fitness for over five years, and I feel incredibly grateful to continue doing what I love here at the Y.

The YMCA was actually the first place I started working after moving to Fredericton, which made it a very special part of my transition. Joan was one of the first people I met. I shared my teaching background with her and mentioned that I would love to continue instructing classes and hopefully bring Pilates to the Y. She was incredibly welcoming and supportive, and thanks to that opportunity, we've been able to grow the Pilates program together.

One of the most meaningful moments for me has been watching those classes continue to grow and seeing members enjoy them so much. Recently, I asked participants for feedback and reviews, and reading their kind words reminded me why I love coaching. Knowing that I've helped someone feel stronger, move better, or simply enjoy coming to class means so much to me. The people here truly feel like family.

If you wish to join one of Nadia's classes, or any other group fitness class, please see all schedules online here:

JUNE IS PRIDE MONTH! 🏳️‍🌈

This Pride Month, we celebrate the strength and shout out the brilliance of YMCA staff, volunteers, members, participants, donors, and partners who are part of the 2SLGBTQIA+ community.

At the YMCA, we believe in a world where everyone can show up fully,
authentically, and safely — not just in June, but all year long.

While there has been progress, we also recognize that the work is far from over. Equity isn’t a destination — it’s a journey we must walk together. With compassion as our compass and community as our guide, we recommit to building spaces where everyone feels seen, supported, and valued.

Happy Pride, friends!

Did you know...

On this day, in 1844, George Williams gathered together a group of 11of his work colleagues (fellow drapers) to create a place for young men to engage in purposeful and meaningful activities. At the suggestion of Christopher W. Smith, the group settled on the name "Young Man's Christian Association" (YMCA). Although the organization started with its roots in Christianity, The YMCA is a non-denominational charitable organization rooted in positive values. The YMCA is an inclusive and welcoming place for all people regardless of background—including religion, ancestry, race and political beliefs. We recognize and celebrate our diversity as a community.

Happy 182 years, YMCA! 🥳

GIVE THE GIFT OF CAMP - ONE SNACK AT A TIME! 🍿

Each summer at the YMCA, Gift of Camp helps ensure children and youth have access to a safe, welcoming place to belong, build confidence, make friends, and create summer memories, regardless of their financial circumstances.

But for many kids, a great day at camp also starts with something simple: having enough to eat.

This June, we’re collecting kid-friendly snacks to help nourish campers who may arrive hungry or need a little extra fuel during the day. Your donation will help make sure every child can fully participate, play, learn, and thrive.

Suggested items include non-perishable, nut-free and individually packaged snacks such as granola bars, fruit cups, applesauce pouches, crackers, cereal bars, and other kid-friendly options.

When you give snacks, you’re doing more than filling a belly. You’re helping fuel potential and making summer brighter for kids in our community.

There are two ways you can help:

-drop off non-perishable snacks in the lobby at 570 York Street

-Follow the link in the caption or if you are in instagram, click on the Donate tab from our Linktree to make a financial contribution. Designate your donation as ‘Gift of Camp’.: https://bit.ly/4oedV5u

Donate today and help every camper feel cared for and ready for a summer full of belonging
