Find Your Wellness at the Y!
YMCA Hosts Free Open Houses January 25 to Kickstart 2025

SHREWSBURY, NJ (Jan. 16, 2025) – The YMCA of Greater Monmouth County invites the community to start 2025 strong with a special “Find Your Y Open House” across all wellness branch locations.

The free event will take place at Red Bank, Old Bridge and Freehold YMCAs on Saturday, Jan. 25, from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m., offering local families and individuals a fresh start to health and wellness. “Our open house is a celebration of health, community, and new beginnings,” said Laurie Goganzer, president and chief executive officer of the Y. “We’re excited to welcome everyone to the Y, where people of all ages can build healthy habits, find support, and grow healthier in spirit, mind and body.”

Attendees are invited to tour the Y’s fitness center, enjoy fitness demonstrations, swim, and learn about swim lessons, sports, and other activities for every member of the family. For families planning ahead, summer camp registration opens on Feb. 3, with staff available to discuss the Y’s diverse camp offerings. Information on rewarding career opportunities at the Y will also be available during the event.

As a special New Year’s promotion, anyone who joins the Y in January will have their joiner fee waived. Guests who join during the open house will also receive February free. Attendees may also enter a non-member drawing for a chance to win a free three-month membership.

In addition to its wellness and summer camp programs, the Y impacts over 42,000 lives annually through programs such as preschool, before and after school care, teen leadership and mentorship, and mental health counseling. Financial assistance is available for those who qualify as part of the Y’s charitable mission.

“Our Y has been serving the greater Monmouth County community for 150 years. We are proud to be here for all and here for good,” Goganzer added.

The Y will also host open houses on the same day and time at:
Red Bank Family YMCA, 166 Maple Avenue, Red Bank, NJ 07701
Freehold Family YMCA, 470 East Freehold Road, Freehold, 07728,  and
