Last year was hard and has taken a toll on everyone in some way. People have experienced exhaustion and isolation, and in many cases, they may just be sick and tired of feeling sick and tired.

Which is why it’s time to reset.

The YMCA of Greater Brandywine, the nonprofit comprised of eight YMCA branches in Chester County, is launching a free, six-week Reset Challenge to help everyone grow strong in spirit, mind, and body.

Set to begin Feb. 1, the Reset Challenge offers motivation and accountability, inspiring stories, and connection to others safely. All are welcome to join the Challenge — YMCA membership is not required to participate. (YGBW Members, however, are eligible for special giveaways and prizes in connection with the Challenge.)

The YMCA of Greater Brandywine is one of more than 150 YMCA communities across the country that have joined together to offer the Challenge. The goal is for everyone to get moving for at least 30 minutes a day, five days a week. Reset participants will have the opportunity to experiment with challenges and rhythms designed to open them up to a purpose-driven life.

“Now more than ever before, we need to recharge and refocus,” said YMCA of Greater Brandywine President and CEO Denise Day. “The COVID-19 pandemic has worn many people down and isolated us. But we can choose to restart; and at the YMCA, we’re excited to bring our community together through this challenge and set us all up for a year of rebuilding and reconnecting.”
