The YMCA's annual Survivor program is a staple for its membership and this year they are adding a new element to the annual competition.

On the WHOW Morning Show Monday, Y Executive Director Rennie Cluver told Regional Radio they are adding a component of having a workout partner that you try to reach your weekly goals.

Cluver hopes couples and friends will take this opportunity to better themselves and create healthy lifestyles they can carry beyond the 12-week competition.

If you struggle to find a routine, Cluver encourages finding little adjustments to create habits that will get you to the gym or just moving more. 

Survivor begins in the first part of January. Cluver indicates registration is going on now. Learn more by visiting clintoncommymca.org or stopping in at 417 South Alexander Street in Clinton.
