WHERE HEALTHY LIVING BEGINS

At the Y, we feel that providing wellness options for all ages is an important piece of supporting families in our community. Youth fitness classes are designed to help build interest and enjoyment in personal fitness that kids can take with them as they grow into adults.

Personal Training (Ages 8+)

Whether your child wants to improve their athletic performance, build confidence, or simply enjoy being active, we offer a personal training program that will cater to their individual interests, needs, and goals. The well-being of your child is our top priority, and our certified trainers are committed to ensuring all activities are safe, age-appropriate, and adapted to each child’s fitness level. We prioritize injury prevention and provide proper techniques to maximize results without compromising safety. Our trainers are passionate about fostering a positive attitude towards fitness and helping your child discover their unique strengths. We offer one-on-one sessions or partner sessions that your child can share with a friend or family member who has similar goals. Choose from 1, 5, 10, or 20-session packages to fit your schedule and commitment level.

Our Motivation Package is also available exclusively for first-time clients, including 3 sessions designed to jumpstart your fitness journey at a special reduced rate! Take the first step towards a healthier lifestyle and book your session today! (Personal Training is open to adults, teens, and children ages 8 and older.)

Youth Strength Training (Ages 10-13)

This class takes place in our Zone and is a great way for 10–13-year-olds to build strength, improve athletic performance, and improve overall fitness, all under the direction of a certified personal trainer. This is a great opportunity for both pre-teens and young teens to use Zone for a safe, fun, and effective group workout!

Yoga (Ages 10-13)

Join us for a journey of self-discovery and well-being through the practice of Yoga!
