Wellness
The YMCA movement and its commitment to health and wellness is so strong, it even created the sports of basketball and volleyball, as well as YMCA methods for swim instruction that have become the standard in teaching people how to swim. However, fitness is just one part of a larger whole, not a separate activity of the YMCA's other programs and services. The YMCA has never focused on the body alone, because for over a century the Y has recognized that a person achieves total health when his/her spirit, mind and body are balanced.

These classes enable our young members ages 10 through 13 the opportunity to learn safe and effective exercise principles, and have supervised practice on cardio and strength machines in the wellness center. This is the second option for wellness entry for young people in this age range. Once the young person successfully completes the class and passes a written and practical test, they are awarded a badge to be worn in the wellness center. This badge lets it be known that they are allowed to exercise in the wellness center. Classes are $25 and are scheduled on a frequent basis, and individual/private sessions ($50) are available for those that cannot attend the class dates. Registration for both classes and private sessions takes place at the welcome center.

- Youth ages 10 through 13 may work out WITH THEIR PARENT(S), or
