SQUATEMBER 2026 is here!

​

It’s time to get stronger together! SQUATEMBER 2026 kicks off September 16th and gives you a full month to build strength, build confidence, and prepare for what’s next.

​

Whether you’re just getting started, have some experience under your belt, or are ready to take your training to the next level, we have programming designed for beginner, intermediate, and advanced members.

​

Participate anytime from September 16th through October 17th by logging into the YMCA360 app using the email address associated with your YMCA membership. Use the images below to track your progress, or you can stop by our Downtown branch to pick up a physical programming packet.

​

And there’s a reason we’re starting Squatember a little earlier this year. We’re gearing up for our Strength Competition on October 17th at the Downtown YMCA, featuring multiple lifts and events with all fitness levels welcome. There will be prizes and recognition, with 5 Star Nutrition on site to help fuel the day.

​

Stay tuned for updates, and email wellness@ymcatusc.org with any questions you may have.
