Thanksgiving is a time for family, gratitude, and, of course, delicious food. But before diving into the feast, why not start your day with a refreshing workout to feel energized and ready for the festivities? The Mankato Family YMCA has you covered with a special lineup of FREE Thanksgiving morning classes, open to the public with a donation to the Echo Food Shelf. Here’s a rundown of what’s happening on Thursday, November 28th:
Thanksgiving Day Hours
The YMCA will be open from 7 am to 11 am, providing you with a perfect opportunity to get in a workout before your Thanksgiving celebrations. The Wellness Center, Blue Gym, and Locker Rooms will all be available during these hours, though please note that all aquatic facilities will be closed for the day.
