Healthy Living
IMPROVING YOUR HEALTH, WELL-BEING & FITNESS
The YMCA is a place where you can improve your health and well-being by challenging yourself to learn a new skill, enroll in a fitness class or create a workout that is beneficial for you. At the Y, it is not about the activity you choose, as much as it is about the benefits of living healthier on the inside and outside. Our Health & Fitness Department has made getting started as easy as 1-2-3!
Schedule your complimentary Fit Start AND/OR Smart Start
What is a Fit Start?
Once you become a member at the YMCA, we encourage you to schedule a Fit Start, which is a 30-minute complimentary consultation with a Personal Trainer. During this Fit Start, you will also have time to learn about some of the machines, group classes and additional fitness programs. Please complete the Fit Start form below to provide us with some information about yourself. Once the form is completed and sent, it will automatically go to our Fitness Director. A Personal Trainer will contact you within 5-7 business days to schedule a day and time that is convenient for you based on your availability.
What is a Smart Start?
Once you become a member at the YMCA, you can schedule this in-depth coaching program that consists of three (3)-30 minute sessions with a trainer. Each session includes:
Session 1: Discuss your goals and health history with your trainer. This can be 30 minutes in person visit or 30 minute phone call.
Session 2: Go over the proper form and foundations of strength training in this 30 minute in person session.
Session 3: During this 30-minute in person session, your trainer will design a customized workout plan for you and take you through your first workout.
