JENNERSVILLE Y: A new fitness center, just in time for the resolution-makers

The Jennersville Y just unveiled its amazing new fitness center. They moved the weightlifting equipment into the former fitness center and moved the treadmills, exercise bikes, and so forth into a brand-new, large, sunlit room on the west side of the facility. There are all kinds of new toys to play with, including an adjustable jump-up platform and a little trampoline that lets you play catch with yourself with medicine balls. I'm impressed!
And a hearty welcome to the New Year's Resolution folks whom we always see this time of year at the Y, looking a little lost. Get into the habit of exercising and it'll become part of your life.
Speaking of the Y, a preset playlist for one exercise class included not one but two songs familiar to those of us of a certain age: "Let the Sunshine In" (from the back-then-racy Broadway musical "Hair") and "Spirit in the Sky" (from that one-hit wonder Norman Greenbaum). A few of us exchanged surprised glances, as the usual fare is more contemporary songs whose lyrics we don't understand ("Turned Down For What" and "Let's Get Ridiculous" continue to baffle me, for instance).
