YW Virtual Club

YWCA St. Paul’s Health & Fitness Center isn’t just a building with treadmills or weight machines: it’s a community, too. YW Virtual Club is our new initiative to help our members and friends stay connected, motivated, and inspired as a community.

 You can participate by sharing a photo from your morning run, a workout tip, a family activity, or anything that’s keeping you active and healthy with the hashtag #YWVirtualClub on Facebook, Instagram, or Twitter. Please tag us @YWCAStPaul in your post!

YW on Spotify

We asked for your favorite workout songs, and you delivered! Please enjoy our community-curated May playlist. Follow YWCA St. Paul on Spotify  to see future playlists as they’re created.

Health @ Home

Tips to stay healthy at home, updated every Tuesday.

Emotional

Remember that “it’s OK not to be OK“, say Minnesota psychologists. Everyone is experiencing this outbreak differently, so be aware of pressure from “toxic positivity.”

Physical

Minnesota’s golf courses are now open with some restrictions in place: take advantage of the nice weather whenever you can!

Community

Schedule a run or walk with a friend from opposite sides of the street, or organize a window scavenger hunt for kids in your neighborhood.
