Come see what it's all about in a welcoming non-competitive environment. Days/times TBD. Check our programs page for updates.
• Personal Training: Training is for everyone. Training is for everyone that has ever had a dream. Yes, that’s a broad statement, but we are here to serve a broad population, and that starts with you. We mean it - you actually get to define what training looks like for you. We want you to have the power and flexibility to say, “Here is what I need.” To that, we will say, “Let’s do it!”. Training doesn't have to be a solo effort. We know that motivation sometimes comes with groups. You can surround yourself with others who are on a similar path to help keep you going. If you prefer, you can be a part of an incredible group experience by taking part in group training. Training starts with you, but it becomes something much bigger along the way. We have several training options. Small group training: Work with a small group of new or old friends that share your goals. Partner training: Develop a stronger relationship with a family member, friend, or another Y member while you work towards your goals together. Individual Personal training: Work with your trainer in a traditional one-on-one setting. Let us help you discover if a training program is the next step toward your goal. We offer free consultations for all members. Together, with one of our trainers, you’ll work on developing a program that you – and your goals – can say “yes!” to. Book your consultation today!
