Posted on by Sherry Danna

Great things are coming your way!

As part of our upcoming annual August maintenance shutdown, we’ll be tackling a few projects and updates across the facility that will improve your experience during visits. Here’s what to expect:

The building will be CLOSED on all Sundays in August (3, 10, 17, 24, and 31)
and from Monday, August 25–Sunday, August 31

Swim lessons WILL occur on Sunday, August 3, 10, 17, 24
Swim lessons WILL NOT occur Monday, August 25-Monday, September 1

We’re kicking off one of our biggest projects—a full refresh of Bolger Fitness Center—on Wednesday, June 25. During this time:

  • A portion of the smaller alcove area of the Bolger Fitness Center will be closed off and behind plastic sheeting
  • You may notice some construction noise (don’t forget your headphones!)
  • Dumbbells and stretching equipment will remain accessible

We appreciate your flexibility and patience as we begin these exciting upgrades to serve you better.

Here’s a look at what else is in store during our August maintenance shutdown:

Bolger Fitness Center:

  • All new equipment
  • Renovated stretching area
  • Updated floor plan

Pools:

  • A new mural in Habernickel Pool
  • Pools will be drained, deep-cleaned, and fully serviced

Group Exercise Studios:

  • More ballet bars added in Simpson Studio
  • Floors refinished in Meads Hall
  • A brand-new program space
  • Expanded massage rooms

Outdoors:

  • New artificial turf on the mini soccer field (take a look—it’s going in now!)

General Facility Upgrades:

  • New wayfinding signage throughout the halls
  • General maintenance and touch-ups

Please note: All projects and completion dates are subject to change.

 

We’re so grateful to have you as part of our Y community and can’t wait for you to enjoy these fresh improvements. Thank you for growing with us!

 

Warm regards,

The Ridgewood YMCA Team
