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.
We offer the following programs:
Intro to Wellness
Microfit Assessments
Equipment Orientations
Personal Training
Boot Camp
Dietmaster Meal Plans
Weight Watchers Meetings
