“The Y is not a building. It is people from all backgrounds and walks of life who come together to improve their lives, nurture their families and strengthen our community, together,” stated Krystal R. Canady, CEO, The Gateway Family YMCA. “Through YMCA360 we are able to offer an experience that seamlessly brings the Y wherever and whenever our members are, in order to remain connected, always.”

For more than a year, The Gateway Family YMCA has provided virtual programming for group exercise, chronic disease self-management, youth and family enrichment and WISE Adult Services. The addition of YMCA360 provides an expansion that includes endless possibilities for on-demand programs, live programs, informational videos and skill drills to complement in-person YMCA classes.

“Our Y is committed to continue to serve members with programs that foster community, personal growth and overall wellness. YMCA360 is another tool that will enable us to continue to serve members outside our walls. As an extension of our Y, we are incorporating YMCA360 into our program curriculum and membership support strategy” stated Melynda A. Mileski, EVP, Chief Operating Officer, The Gateway Family YMCA. “For more than 120 years, our Y has served the community, and we are excited to continue to evolve in our programs and services.”

YMCA360 is a cross-platform, robust digital experience that connects the people, places and programs of the Y. Developed and introduced by the Greater Wichita YMCA, programs and experiences offered on YMCA360 are created in collaboration with a network of Y’s across the country. Within YMCA360 categories include Kids & Family, Mind & Body, Fitness First, Around the Y, Boomers & Beyond and Live Streaming.

The Gateway Family YMCA continues to offer approximately 30 live virtual, instructor-led group exercise, chronic disease management, youth and WISE Adult Services programs in addition to in-person YMCA programs including group exercise, swimming lessons, youth sports, summer day camp, child care and residential housing programs.

The Gateway Family YMCA is a leading 501(c)(3) nonprofit committed to strengthening community by connecting all people to their potential, purpose and each other. With a focus on empowering young people, improving health and well-being, and inspiring action in and across the local community, the Y brings together people from different backgrounds, perspectives and generations, to ensure that all have access to the opportunities, relationships and resources necessary to learn, grow and thrive.
