ONEONTA, N.Y. — Bassett Healthcare Network and the Oneonta Family YMCA have announced they are extending their lease agreement at FoxCare Center in Oneonta for another three years for the Y Specialty Fitness.
“Over the past two years since Bassett Healthcare Network and the Oneonta Family YMCA joined efforts to open the Y Specialty Fitness at FoxCare Center, we have seen incredible success,” Frank Russo, executive director of the Oneonta Family YMCA, said in the announcement. “Gym membership at our FoxCare Center location has increased since June 2023 and we believe this lease extension will help us reach and exceed our goal of 1,000 members.”
The Y Specialty Fitness at FoxCare Center offers cardiovascular-exercise machines, weightlifting and body-building equipment, a fitness studio, a strength and conditioning studio with cross-training amenities, and pool facilities (including both a lap pool and therapy pool). Since the facility opened, fitness classes and activities have grown to include various aqua exercise sessions, spinning, Pilates, yoga, circuit training, aerobic fitness, dance classes, weightlifting, and much more.

“With this three-year lease extension, the Oneonta Family YMCA will have the opportunity to explore upgrading the cardio equipment at Y Specialty Fitness,” said Russo. “Our fitness class schedule reflects something for everyone’s fitness needs. We are continuing to expand our offerings.”
“This is a true community collaboration that is an asset to Oneonta and its surrounding region,” noted Russo. “With the Y Specialty Fitness housed within FoxCare Center, members benefit from an environment that supports wellness and care across the lifespan alongside clinicians and other experts.”
A.O. Fox Hospital continues to operate outpatient cardiac, physical, occupational, and pulmonary rehabilitation services within the same space. With this lease extension agreement, A.O. Fox Hospital is working with the Y Specialty Fitness to put in place updated space arrangements for outpatient services, which will include a new privacy partition between gym equipment and the machines patients are using for treatment.
“Y gym members will now notice a privacy wall that separates our public gym equipment from patient rehab equipment,” Russo stated. “This is part of how we are moving forward with more permanent space arrangements.”
“Outpatient rehabilitation services are growing at FoxCare Center,” said Joan MacDonald, VP of operations and chief nursing officer at A.O. Fox Hospital. “With more than 500 patients receiving cardiac, physical, occupational, and pulmonary therapy at FoxCare Center every month, an important part of our long-term partnership with the Y Specialty Fitness will mean distinguishing between clinical space and gym member amenities. This will provide privacy and safety benefits for both our patients and gym members.”
The nonprofit Oneonta Family YMCA was founded in 1883.
