Info to Know About Healthy Living in Champaign-Urbana

December 30, 2020 By From The Editors

Resources and Deals for Healthy Living in Champaign-Urbana

It’s hard to escape the talk of New Year’s resolutions related to health, fitness, and weight loss. This is going to be especially true as the calendar page turns from 2020 to 2021. People are eager to update the habits they’ve picked up in 2020 with some new ones and move on to a new and exciting year.

The truth is that any year, any time, is a great time to commit to health and wellness goals. We have compiled a list of resources to get you started on your journey to overall wellness through mind and body activities.

Info to Know About Healthy Living

Thankfully, here in Champaign-Urbana, as well as surrounding communities such as Savoy, Monticello, Rantoul and Mahomet, we are lucky to have plenty of fitness options for every need. And many of them have special offers for the New Year, from free fitness weeks to free passes and more.

While Illinois is following Tier 3 Resurgence Mitigations, it is required that you wear a mask at all times while in a fitness facility. Fitness centers are operating at a reduced capacity to allow for social distancing. In-person group fitness exercise classes are not happening right now but you may work out on your own in many cases. Reservations are often required to exercise at a fitness facility during COVID-19.

Fitness Opportunities in Champaign-Urbana and Beyond

Stephens Family YMCA
Where: Located in Southwest Champaign, access free workouts virtually from home
What: In addition to the in-person options offered at the Y, they are providing a great service to the community during COVID-19 by streaming workouts for FREE on Facebook and making them available through YouTube.
Editor’s Note: The Y is open for in-person workouts on your own (reservations required) and they could really use your support; now is a great time to consider a membership if you want to experience more of what the Y has to offer than their free workouts.
