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.
Wellness Orientations
Members are encouraged to sign up for a complimentary orientation with one of our certified YMCA wellness staff members. It’s a great way to become familiar with the wellness center and all the programs, classes and services we have to offer.

First Steps
First Steps is designed for members who need a structured routine to stay focused on their health goals. You’ll meet with a YMCA staff member once a month for three months to design a program for your needs - whether it’s lowering cholesterol, losing weight or improving athletic performance.

Massage Therapy
Massage therapy is the manipulation of soft tissues of the body with intentions of positively affecting the health and well-being of the client. Massage has been proven to reduce stress, release muscular tension, increase circulation, decrease recovery time after injury or physical activity, and fulfill the need for the human touch. Massage techniques available include Swedish, neuromuscular therapy, sports, prenatal, infant, and chair. Please contact Beverly Hood or Scott Vandiver in advance to make your appointment.

Fitness Evaluation
Fitness evaluations are FREE. A fitness evaluation measures overall physical fitness by determining:

· Cardiovascular endurance using a three-minute step test
· Upper body strength determined by performing a bench press test
· Abdominal strength by performing a one-minute sit-up test

A fitness evaluation determines your current fitness level and serves as a guide for setting fitness goals. Evaluations are conducted by fitness specialists and take one hour. Please wear workout clothes and shoes. Please do not exercise or consume any caffeine two hours before this evaluation.
