For Healthy Living
The YMCA aims to improve our members health by providing programs and activities that promote overall well-being, no matter where you are on your journey toward better health.
Group Exercise Classes
We offer a wide variety of Group Exercise Classes at the Y that are FREE with your Membership! Drop in any class, any time!
Benefits of Group Exercise:
- Builds Community
- Learn Proper Form
- Find Motivation
- Stay Accountable
- Add Variety to Your Workout
There is something for everyone, through every stage of life, regardless of age, physical ability, size or shape.
Unlimited Yoga
Yoga improves strength, balance and flexibility. Slow movements and deep breathing increase blood flow and warm up muscles, while holding a pose can build strength.
Unlimited Yoga offers access to a variety of yoga classes taught by Registered Yoga Teachers.
$15 Per Month for Members Only
Water Exercise
FREE! Water Exercise Classes offer an excellent opportunity for muscle toning and body sculpting.
Water also cools the body during exercise, which reduces stress on the heart and reduces the risk of injury by lessening the impact on weight-bearing joints, muscles, and bones.
All Water Exercise Classes are included in your Membership.
Wellness Center
Increase your energy, heart rate and health with cardio and machine weight training.
Our Wellness Centers are fully equipped with Martrix Cardio Machine and Weight Training Consoles.
We offer FREE Wellness Center Orientation Classes - Sign Up!
Take a tour around our Wellness Center. Our staff will help you to get familiar with our cardio equipment and cable weight machines.
Youth must complete the class to be allowed in the Wellness Center for ages 12-15.
Strength Center
Get stronger, leaner, and healthier.
Strength training is an important part of an overall fitness program. It can help you manage or lose weight, and it can increase your metabolism to help you burn more calories.
Strength training may enhance your quality of life and improve your ability to do everyday activities. Strength training can also protect your joints from injury.
