Prince George, BC – Prince George families are invited down to the YMCA of Northern BC this afternoon to see first-hand some of the new program offerings…

Communications Director, Karen Cameron, says the Y tries to hold at least a couple of open houses per year to give city residents a look at what’s going on inside the facility on Massey Drive.

Today’s Open House runs from noon until 3pm and will feature demos of some of the great new ways to get in shape, including:  the Y’s gravity program, which is appropriate for all ages and uses your own body weight as resistance in the training; TRX suspension training, where the equipment helps you leverage gravity and your body weight to perform the exercises; and yoga.

Visitors to the this afternoon can also check out the climbing wall in the Rec Room and gym.  It’s free of charge.
