To whom it may concern:
On Monday January 25, 2016 a hard copy petition was turned into the leadership of the YMCA Greater Twin Cities. The signatures on that petition were collected over a ten day period by members of the YMCA who wish to continue group fitness programming with Les Mills.
This petition is being made available for members who did not have an opportunity to sign the first petition.
As members of the YMCA Twin Cities, we would like to express our opinion on the conversion from Les Mills programming to MOSSA programs. We believe that changing group classes to another program would have a negative impact on the classes we attend. MOSSA classes do not seem to provide the same workouts that we look forward to taking and paying for everyday at the YMCA. We attend group classes not only for the workout, but also for the energy and the instructors who make the class something to look forward too. As paying members we strongly urge the YMCA to consider keeping all of the Les Mills programs which include BodyStep and BodyFlow. Thank you for your time and consideration.

Removing Les Mills is definitely a mistake. It is the main reason I attend the Y. I will be following the amazing instructors who have been such a big part of my fitness routine- I'm certain most of them will be going else where where they can continue to follow their passion.
Please keep bodyflow. It changed my life and health. My only reason for maintaining my YMCA membership. I had chronic pain issues dissolve and the my quality of life significantly improve. If it is not broke, don't fix it!!!
I began bodyflow while going through chemotherapy 3 years ago. I was hooked from the first class the music the great format the whole mind body embrace and community that I felt with others there saved me during this difficult time. Don't drop the Les Mills classes
I love the Les Mills classes, especially Body Flow. I have taken yoga and Pilates classes at other places but Body Flow is the perfect exercise routine for active seniors combining strength, stretching , balance and core. Please retain the Les Mills programs at the Y.
Body step and Body Pump are the reason we, as a family, have remained members for the last 8 years, attending classes on average 4 days a week. It's hard to imagine the tremendous loss, and this would require us to look elsewhere for this programming.
Please keep body pump
The only reason I maintain my YMCA membership is for the LesMills Classes - without these I will be looking at more affordable options - BodyFlow is key

Have body pump to thank for my muscles and body flow to thank for my piece of mind. As a special ed teacher, these classes I take 5 days a week feed my body and soul. I have tried the classes at Midway - blerg. Hoping you reconsider...
