We ’ re also bringing you lots of practical help with improving your diet quality , and getting you inspired in the kitchen with Joel Ferren ’ s top 10 vegetarian pantry staples , recipes featuring seasonal ingredients like beetroot , sweet potato and eggplant , and our autumnal baking feature - sweet potato brownies and carrot cake muffins are on the menu .

Apart from all the delicious foodie content , we ’ re also featuring exercise physiologist Stephanie Frade , who dives into a very topical subject right now : exercise and immune health . We ’ re so pleased to be open for business again and welcoming everyone back into our gyms , pools and group fitness classes .

We hope you enjoy autumn at your local YMCA !
