The Clinton YMCA installed new equipment in their wellness center last month and now they look ahead to the new year when they will embark on a renovation of their main entryway.

Executive Director Rennie Cluver indicates they plan to turn their main entrance into a lounge-like area for people to gather and socialize. 

As a part of the renovation, the Y is planning to add a youth gathering area. Cluver explains they have a good amount of kids that come into the Y to work out or play basketball in the gym and they want to have a place for them to hang out after they're done.

Cluver indicates he is pretty excited to see the project get started. That is expected to begin around the first of the year. He hopes it will get the community excited about the things happening at the Y and bring in new memberships.

The new equipment in the wellness center has been very well received by its members. Cluver indicates some of their machines are furnished with smaller weight increments, electronic timers, and counters.
