BRAND NEW YMCA

After my two appointments on Tuesday I headed for the closest YMCA in the Twin Cities where I had been before on previous trips. When I arrived, I was surprised to see the parking lot completely empty. The sign on the door was advising of the BRAND-NEW location less than two miles away. What a treat! I visited the YMCA of the Greater Twin Cities in their new location which opened their doors for the first time on January 4, 2016.  Although, the facility was brand-new, I was already registered as a guest as I had been at the previous location.  Everything was brand-new.  New locker rooms.  New Fitness Equipment. New Carpeting.  Well, you get the idea...  I did two sessions of 65 minutes on a newer model Elliptical Machine that I was seeing for the first time: Matrix Fitness 7xi.  This machine asked me to create an account, a log in, and after I did that...it sent me an email confirming my registration.  That was a first.... Receiving an email from a piece of exercise equipment...

This is what my 'hometown' Chicago YMCA looked like when it opened in 1928.
Fast forward nearly one century, it basically looks unchanged... although the cars often parked in front look a lot different!
