Carls Family YMCA has been part of Milford and the greater Huron Valley since May 2002. Staffers are excited to celebrate a 15-year birthday and a new year with a building and renovation project.

A fast and furious kickoff for the build-out was announced in November. Three short months, four room renovations, one build-out, lots of dustand just a few hiccups later, the project finished this week with a final sweep of the broom.

We saw that we were outgrowing our facility and needed to expand to grow with the community, said Kymberly Reed, wellness coordinator at the Y. Weve always been focused on strengthening our community by meeting needs of our friends and neighbors and the updates and additions will go a long way to do just that."

Doreen K. Durandetto, district vice president and executive director, said that when the Y was constructed, some of the space was left unfinished with the intention of adding on. Even though the build-out was planned, it still required the right timing and for the right reasons. This would not have been possible without the generosity of private donors and foundations for giving above and beyond their normal donations.

Bart Reed, regional director and former director of Carls, said: "Without a plan and a goal, building out the unfinished space could have been just another project. Initiating programs like First Responders, Family and Teen programming and new programming like functional training and injury prevention, the build-out flows with these goals of programming. We're always looking for those in the community who want to stand alongside Carls Family YMCA as a contributor. We're kicking off the 2017 annual campaign, which raises money for the Carls community scholarship programs."

The 2,500-square-foot Healthy Living Center features equipment for functional fitness training. Functional fitness helps train your muscles to work together and prepare them for daily tasks by simulating common movements you might do at home, at work or in sports. Featuring TRXsuspension training, battle ropes, heavy bags and much more, its the hot spot for small group personal training and future group exercise classes.

A new community room, located in the Healthy Living Center, will hold various classes, private yoga and fitness sessions, as well as staff education.

The Healthy Living Center has allowed me to step out and try new exercises on equipment that wasnt available before,"YMCA member Daedra Surowiec said. I really appreciate that the Y considered what members were looking for when considering the space, so that the classes and activities are accessible and enjoyable for all of us. The new community room has become a place for people in the community to learn about healthy living."

Other renovations in the facility include a Power Cardio Center for group exercise classes, a relocated Child Watch anda Well Being Center. The Well Being Center will featurea variety of family-oriented programming. Classes will include Mommy & Me, Family Yoga, Sensory Safe Yoga and activities for special needs, Kids Fit classes, obstacle course classes, art and dancing.

A family open house is planned for 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 25.Carls YMCA is located at 300 Family Drive in Milford. The entire facility will be open to the public for tours, demos of programs and classes, family fun, snacks and more.
