Our Renovated Fitness Center Re-Opens this Weekend!

September 4th, 2010

Fitness Center at Central Bucks Family YMCADo you think you can handle our New State-of-the-Art Fitness Center?? Here at the Doylestown Y our staff is WICKED excited about the re-opening of our renovated Fitness Center. The new Fitness Center is opening to Y members this Sunday, September 5th, at 8 AM. Come work off those extra Carbs from all of the Labor Day weekend celebrations.

As you may have read in an earlier blog article on the renovated Fitness Center we updated the main area of the Fitness Center to include additional state-of-the-art and innovative equipment, replaced older equipment, added custom millwork, installed modern flat screen TV’s, upgraded the cardio theater system, and put in a new information center/desk area. The biggest change for our members is the addition of all the great new equipment that will now be available at our Fitness Center. This post is going to take you through some of the new machines that you can use, as well as, explain each of their benefits.

Rent the Teen Center at the Doylestown Y – the Perfect Party Spot!

August 30th, 2010

YMCA Teen CenterAs a teen, growing up in Berks County, I was always so envious of my friends that had these great parties at the local Y. Birthdays, graduations, band jams, celebrations for a sports team or dance class…I was always in attendance but the parties were never being held in my honor. Don’t get me wrong – my parents were great and still are, but I really would have loved if they helped me plan a party for all my closest friends (or better yet, surprised me with one) at the Y.

The Teen Center at Central Bucks Family YMCA is the perfect party spot: state-of-the-art sound system, professional lighting, Verizon FIOS High-Speed Internet Lounge, a pool table, X-men arcade game, XBOX 360 with various games…the list goes on! I’m going to venture that the atmosphere at the Teen Center has a way cooler vibe than your living room or backyard. You can bring in any kind of food you’d like (or grill on the back porch if so desired!), but no alcohol is allowed. And let’s not forget that there is plenty of parking, it’s a central location for all your party invitees, and clean-up is a cinch.

YMCA Testimonial Series: Dancing with Lou Gehrig’s Disease

August 19th, 2010

YMCA DoylestownWelcome to the fourth installment of our Central Bucks Family YMCA Testimonial Blog Series; a blog series focusing on current YMCA members and how the Y has made a positive impact on their lives. Last month we spotlighted a veteran of the YMCA family, Geri McMullen, whose contributions and involvement with the Y has enabled her to lead an active and healthy lifestyle for the past forty years. This month we bring you another inspirational story of how the Y enabled a member to achieve his improbable dream and provide memories which will last for generations.

The Telthorster family was like any other loving family living in the Doylestown area until a few years ago when they learned Greg, loving husband to Marcia Telthorster, and father, had been diagnosed with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), most commonly known as Lou Gehrig’s Disease.

Come check out ‘my little Y School’!

August 17th, 2010

YMCA Preschool width=In this post Bess Godin, a valued member of the Doylestown Y Staff, shares her personal story about our Y Preschool. We hope it helps give you a great perspective on all that is offered to young children here a the Y.

Two years ago, when I started a new job in Doylestown I needed to find childcare for Quinn, my then 4-year old son. Quinn was an old hand at daycare, having been enrolled in full-time child care since the age of 4 months. I wanted and needed an environment that would encourage him, teach him, and appreciate him.

In the past, we had chosen the big box franchises over the smaller family-owned programs but always put a priority on quality and affordability. After all, we’re working parents and want to be assured that the place our kids are going for so many hours a day away from Mom and Dad provide not only an excellent curriculum (says the daughter of a teacher!) but also enough warmth, caring and love to make up for the fact that I can’t be a stay-at-home mother.
