Circling Back

Partnerships, Positions and Fundraising Moving Forward

From time to time, we check in to see how various projects and stories are progressing. This week, we “circle back” to YMCA Specialty Fitness and the Otsego County clerk, and provide an update on fundraising efforts on behalf of Enoch Bright Ampong.

Fitness Center Getting Into Shape

Oneonta YMCA Specialty Fitness @ FoxCare is excited to announce that, as of March 2024, membership has doubled from our startup date last June. We are very pleased to be nearing our initial membership goal of 1,000 members. In this short time, YSF has been able to add personal trainers, fitness instructors and classes, and expand pool hours. This all-in-one fitness center offers everything folks need in one location, including cardio, weight training, personal training, group exercise, lap swimming and a therapy pool. The Oneonta Family YMCA and Bassett Healthcare Network have partnered together with a common goal of improving the wellness of our community, and things are moving forward as anticipated.
