HUTCHINSON, Kan. — If you want to get an early start on your new year's fitness routine, you can do that at the Hutchinson YMCA.
"If you didn't get that Y membership you were hoping for in your stocking, you can come to the Y through Jan. 13 and pay nothing. So no joiner fee and no pro rate from Dec. 26 through Jan. 13. And your first membership draft wouldn't be until February," said David Foster with the Hutchinson YMCA. "If you still are kind of thinking about it and think, man, I wish I would have done that from Jan. 14 through the end of the month, you'll just pay no joiner fee. So on most memberships, that'll save you 50 bucks. So if you put it off and then haven't made your decision yet, you can still come in and save some money and get started in January and start working on that healthier lifestyle."
Personal training is also available at the Hutchinson YMCA.
"If we've got some new exercisers or maybe people that haven't done it in a long time, you want to make sure that you're doing especially if you're lifting weights and stuff like that," Foster said. "You want to make sure that you're doing it properly, and sometimes you can almost do more damage to yourself if you just come in."
It's also nice to have someone to keep you accountable.
"We've got lots of different packages you can choose from individual personal training. You can choose one hour or 30 minute sessions, and we have partner training and also so that's with just you and one other person. And then we also have group training as well. So that can go anywhere from three, three friends to any anything from six and above, and there's different prices for whichever tier that you choose. You can also do the group training for an hour or 30 minutes as well."
