Take Back 2020

12.12.20

At the Wilkes-Barre Family YMCA, we help people of all ages achieve their health goals and bring their families closer together. A lot has changed over this past year, but our mission has remained the same—to be there for our communities when needed most. We may not know what the future holds, but we do know that we are stronger together.

We understand the impact the COVID-19 pandemic continues to have on the physical and mental health of our community. For that reason, we want to help reset 2020 and are asking our community to join us and end the year the way we want to start 2021.

The Take Back 2020 wellness challenge provides three weeks of progressive, but flexible fitness opportunities, with weekly recognition and chances for prizes.
