Join the 2025 Check It! Challenge
Take charge of your heart health with the Check It! Challenge, an initiative by the American Heart Association. This evidence-based program is designed to prevent and manage high blood pressure by encouraging you to check your blood pressure regularly, adopt healthier habits, and take control for a longer, healthier life.
From February 1 to May 31, participate in wellness activities aligned with national health observances, such as Heart Month and Stroke Awareness Month. The Capital District YMCA is proud to join this effort, offering a variety of activities across our branches to help you stay active and engaged.
Register today to access resources, webinars, and more. Then, check out the activities happening at your local CDYMCA branch below. Together, we can fight the silent killer—hypertension—and build a healthier community.
