THE Y’S MISSION IN PORTAGE:
EMPOWERED YOUTH
The YMCA is committed to providing resources for families to live their healthiest lives. Our deep roots in the Portage and surrounding communities and strong ties to local organizations, gives us the infrastructure to improve the health of our families.
HEALTHY LIVING
Be fit, be healthy, and have fun: that’s what leading a healthy lifestyle is all about. We offer Group Exercise Classes, Personal Wellness Coaches, Health Screenings; you can exercise on your own in our Cardio or Weight Room areas. The Y has something for all ages, abilities, and fitness levels.
BRINGING COMMUNITY TOGETHER
The Y is for everyone. Every day at our local Y, we strive to support the spiritual, mental and physical needs of individuals and families living in Portage Township, part of Union Township and eastern parts of Lake County.
Programs that meet the needs of the Portage Township community
Beyond fitness facilities, we provide educational programs to promote healthier decisions, and offer a variety of programs that support physical, intellectual and spiritual strength.
