Virtual Classes

Zoom Group Exercise is officially retired, but we’re thrilled to welcome you back in person! We’ve loved staying connected virtually, and now we’re excited to sweat, stretch, and move together again, live and in the building. Come experience the energy, community, and motivation you can only find in a group class at the Y!

In-Person Classes

If you are ready and able, we'd love to have you join us in-person for select classes! Active Older Adult classes will be held in the gymnasium on the south court or our Exercise Studio. Please bring your own water bottle and/or towel.

Social Events

The YMCA of Pueblo offers fun social events, including: potlucks, journal club, book club, game days, and more!

Book Club

In partnership with:

Book Club is a great way to expand your horizons, improve your reading skills, promote learning, and enjoy stimulating conversation while building lasting relationships. Thank you to the Pueblo City-County Library District for partnering with our YMCA to provide the following selection:

July's pick: "How the Penguins Saved Veronica" by Hazel Prior. It's the penguins' presence and the research project in Antarctica that ultimately help Veronica McCreedy, an 85-year-old woman, heal from past traumas and reconnect with her family. Veronica, initially driven by a desire to find a worthwhile cause to leave her fortune to, becomes fascinated with a documentary about penguins. Her journey to Antarctica, despite initial resistance from the research team, leads her to find meaning in the penguins' world and to open up about her own difficult past.

Please note: It is the responsibility of individual book club participants to check out books from the library under their own account if they so choose. You can view the YMCA library branch's hours here.

Discussion date: Thursday, August 7 from 9:00am - 10:00am in the YMCA Community Rooms
