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.
Equipment Orientations
Based upon your individual goals, a certified trainer will demonstrate to you different cardiovascular and strength training machines showing proper form, body alignment, pace and suggested repetitions. Our hope is that this will provide the member more personal attention during their first 3 months at the Y. A routine will be given based on the member's fitness goals, experience, and physical limitations. Records will be kept on every member containing each appointment and the information given.
Personal Training
Personal training can make a difference in the success of your program. Our trainers can work with you regularly or on a consulting basis to help design a workout that is uniquely yours. Trainers encourage you to exercise and reach your goals. Trainers are YMCA, CPR, and ACE, NASM, Cooper Institute, NSCA or ACSM certified. Trainers must be employed by the YMCA. Members may not provide their own trainers.
