Greetings,

It is with some sadness but also hope for what the future holds that we are officially announcing the “closure” of the Ferrum branch of the Franklin County Family YMCA. Ferrum College plans to utilize the “fitness center” to further develop and grow their Health and Human Performance program which means that they will need to utilize the space fully. This provides an excellent opportunity for students of the program and Ferrum College. The Y is immensely supportive of anything that helps make Ferrum a stronger and more vibrant institution.

The good news is that YMCA members will still have access to the facility for the next 12 months and potentially beyond. This is in part because of Ferrum’s understanding of the value to the community health and wellness represents but also as a way to utilize the growing Health and Human Performance program as a tool to provide those wellness opportunities. The benefit to students will also be a level of professional experience that they can take into the job market.

For any questions about the immediate operations of the fitness center you can contact Karen Carpenter at Ferrum College. She will be serving as general manager for the facility.

We are immensely grateful to Ferrum for partnering to make the Y on campus a possibility since 2012 and are excited to continue to collaborate with the College to improve the health and lives of Franklin County Residents.

Sincerely,

 

Kevin McAlexander

CEO

Rocky Mount, Va. (May 21, 2020) – In accordance with phase one guidelines, the Franklin County Family YMCA is now offering outdoor, instructor lead group exercise classes. Since shutting its doors mid-March due to COVID, the YMCA has been working hard to keep members healthy by making video content and exercise routines available on their website and social media platforms.

When talks of phasing back into normal operating hours began, Y staff got busy preparing for social distancing and occupant limitations that they anticipated may be set forth by the governor. “We were hopeful that we’d be able to open at the beginning of the first phase as long as we spaced machines, calculated occupancy and took the proper precautions. Although we still aren’t able to let members use any indoor facilities at our branches, we are excited to be able to offer outdoor group exercise,” says Andrea Fansler, Smith Mountain Lake Branch Director.

The Y started offering outdoor group exercise on May 15th at both the Rocky Mount and Smith Mountain Lake locations. These classes are being held Monday through Saturday and include bootcamp, cycling, yoga, and Zumba.

“We are so excited to be able to offer group exercise classes again! We believe exercise is foundational to our health: spirit, mind and body. We are taking all precautions necessary, including spacing everyone 10 feet apart, using little to no equipment and sanitizing any equipment used both before and after classes. We hope you come and see what we have to offer and hope to open the doors to the YMCA soon,” says Abigail Jamison, Fitness Director at the Rocky Mount YMCA.

Class sizes are limited to 10 people including the instructor.  During the early phases of reopening, the Y will not be able to have visitors or members of other Y’s participating in outdoor group exercise classes.

The outdoor group exercise schedules can be viewed on the Y’s website www.franklincountyymca.org or on the Franklin County Family YMCA Facebook page. For any questions about this or other fitness programs please contact Abigail Jamison (Rocky Mount) at ajamison@franklincountyymca.org  or Andrea Fansler (Smith Mountain Lake) at afansler@franklincountyymca.org.
