The YMCA has been in Van Wert for over 95 years and has continued to adjust to the needs of the membership and the community. What started as a very simple swim and gym YMCA has grown to include five gymnasiums, numerous workout rooms, a spinning studio\/X-tra fit gym, a cardio fitness floor, weight rooms, massage therapy, new tanning salon and hydro massage therapy bed, a yoga room, the only full size swimming pool in the area, and the complete Camp Clay facility including an Aqua Park.<\/p>\n

\u201cAlthough we have been in the planning\/implementation and completion stages of this project for nearly two years, we are very excited to expand our programming to all in Van Wert County,\u201d said YMCA Executive Director Hugh Kocab about the new After-Hours area. \u201cThe new Handicap\/Senior\/After-hours Access will allow us to provide additional family fitness opportunities and remove obstacles for those with physical limitations.\u201d<\/p>\n

Dr. Shad Foster, YMCA board president, added: \u201cexpanding our access and hours will allow us to reach all in our community, as the premier fitness and sports facility in the area.\u00a0 We are committed to helping everyone archive their sport and fitness goals.\u201d<\/p>\n
