Wellness Consultation
If you are unsure about your ability to exercise or how to start an exercise routine, you can meet with an experienced Wellness professional to discuss these matters. We have extensive experience understanding one's health and fitness history so that a safe and effective exercise routine can be customized for anyone regardless of their fitness level or health issues.
During the one hour, no charge, Wellness Consultation, we will recommend specific YMCA programs based on your fitness level and objectives. If necessary, we'll coordinate your YMCA activities with your health care provider. If there are no major health issues that preclude you from exercising, we'll move forward with an equipment orientation or similar program.
If you have any specific questions about a Wellness Consultation, please feel free to contact Tom Gmitter, Wellness Specialist and Personal Trainer, at (615) 254-0631, ext. 70923 or tgmitter@ymcamidtn.org. Wellness Consultation appointments can be arranged by calling the Downtown YMCA at (615) 254-0631.
