Your Healthy Living Toolkit

20 January 2016 - by Nicole Meredith
Trying to establish a healthy lifestyle is tough, but without the right tools to support and guide you, it becomes impossible. The YMCA has been building healthy communities for over 160 years, so we know which tools keep people on track.

In order to better serve our members at the Mississauga Burnhamthorpe Road YMCA, we’ve entirely renovated our main conditioning room. To keep you motivated and committed to your fitness goals, you can now enjoy:

  1. An open-concept layout that lets you access different types of equipment easily and efficiently

  2. Plenty of natural light to keep you feeling fresh and positive throughout your workout

  3. Environmentally friendly flooring that minimizes the impact of weights, making your strength training sessions more enjoyable


Research shows that exercising in this type of open, naturally lit space encourages positive thinking, boosts self-confidence, and promotes good well-being overall. That means you’ll be working towards a healthier, happier you - not just working out.

Take advantage of the healthy living toolkit we’ve put together just for you, and grow healthy in spirit, mind, and body by visiting the Mississauga YMCA. Bring your friends and family along to our Open House this Saturday, January 23rd, where you can explore all of these fantastic new amenities all day long - for FREE!
