Wellness

The YMCA movement and its commitment to health and wellness is so strong, it 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
Equipment orientations are for all YMCA members and are FREE. An equipment orientation gives the member the opportunity to become more knowledgeable and comfortable with the fitness equipment in both the machine and free weight areas. A trained YMCA Fitness Team member will show you the proper techniques on using certain strength training machines and cardiovascular equipment. We suggest that the equipment orientation is broken down into three appointments, but they can be structured to meet the needs of the member. Each orientation will take approximately one hour to complete. Please wear workout clothes and shoes. Make your appointment now at the member service desk.

Group Exercise
Our classes provide fun, safe, and challenging material, according to your needs. We have extensive offerings for everyone from the first-time exerciser to the most advanced athletes! Make an appointment with one of our wellness staff to find out where you might fit. He or She will go over our schedule with you and help you select the right classes and join your new fitness family!

Water Aerobics
