Y U Steppin'

**Due to low Spring enrollment, Y U Steppin’ is postponed until Fall 2025. We apologize for the inconvenience and will post the new date once determined**

April is here, and it’s time to start thinking about getting steps in again. Here’s an opportunity to start the season off right AND support the Y’s mission of Youth Development, Healthy Living, and Social Responsibility.

Join Eastside Y fitness staff for Y U Steppin’, a fun night of music, moving, munchies, and mingling! We’ve created a low-impact 10,000+-step workout just for YOU, that is designed to energize and keep you moving to fun tunes. We’ll provide drinks, and light snacks, but you’re welcome to bring your own. We’ll have a couple scheduled breaks during the event.

There will be a Y prize bag for the person with the most steps in at the end of the event! So be sure to wear your FitBit, smart watch, or any tracking device to be eligible.

Proceeds will benefit the YMCA of Greater Erie’s annual campaign, which funds programs such as: Chronic Disease Prevention, Swim Lessons and After School programs for under-served communities, Childcare Scholarships for low-income families, and much more. So sign up, bring a friend, and GET TO STEPPIN’!
