What is the Virtual Rye Y?
Virtual Y is our first-ever Virtual Rye Y “branch”. This members-only experience for fitness and wellbeing is broadcast to everywhere the internet reaches. The Virtual Y offers many of the same experiences of a brick-and-mortar Y, but from the convenience of your own home—or wherever you happen to be. Virtual Y currently offers Zoom fitness classes and an ever-growing on-demand video library. We are growing and expanding, and look forward to serving you 24/7 for many years to come.
We have answers to many of your questions below. Please email lisa@ryeymca.org if your question is not addressed here.
