About
Our program has been around for seven years. We started right after the installation of the new 8 lane, 7 foot deep competition pool. A previous program existed in the 90s when the YMCA was known as McHenry County YMCA. The McHenry YMCA went bankrupt in 2010. In March 2011, a gift from the Foglia Family enabled the YMCA of Metropolitan Chicago to assume management of the McHenry County YMCA. In recognition of this contribution the facility was renamed the Sage YMCA.
The facility was completely remodeled and additions were built. The Sage YMCA now features big screen TVs, a fireplace, multiple charging/work stations, a cafe, new weightlifting and workout equipment rooms, studios, lockerooms and child care center.

This is what I look like at 5:15AM. I will be wearing my royal blue YMCA uniform.
